The pods are actually much bigger and spacious than expected so wouldn't worry if you're concerned about feeling cramped. It's a great concept however the pods are quite run down and don't feel very sturdy, when someone gets into one on the same block as you the whole thing shakes and the doors are very loud. My door also had tape on it which didn't give a great impression of sturdiness! However all other facilities are decent a great location

Only complaint is that it is very hard to find as it is on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors and a tiny sign that doesn’t stand out in any way. Oh and the elevator is absolutely the slowest elevator of all time. Apparently bc it’s old it’s considered “heritage” and so they can’t do much to it- including making it any faster than ~5 or so minutes to get to any floor. Overall, clean, well kept, and comfortable

Apart from the capsule being a little thin (can hear noises outside), the accommodation was tidy and comfortable. Excellent staff service and located right at next to Sydney Town Hall. Highly recommended.

Only recommend if you want the minimum. Its a shame because if it was in its prime it would be an amazing place but here are the cons. Dont rely on the lockers if you are travelling with expensive stuff it doesn't take much pull to break the lock off, thats not to much of a worry because the lockers are around other people. In your locker they have nice bedding and a towel but the towel is like 4 bucks to use and to use thier washing machine and dryer its 4 bucks but you need cash for them. On the website it says the capsule comes with a safe and it does but they dont know the combination to them. The capsules them selfs arnt too bad... For me anyway the mattress is sorta thin im 80ish kg and i felt the floor a little bit. The capsules are made of plastic so there is duct tape somewhere placed in the capsule. It is somewhat sound proof the only things i heard was the outside and people either sneezing or coughing i didnt hear snoring so it isnt to bad. Overall there is dust everywhere you cant see eg on the shower head in on the capsule roof grooves. The capsule do have vents but they are noisy on full blast but they do help though i wouldn't like to use a capsule during summer i went during October and it wasn't that bad. Have to leave shoes outside or in locker so dont take expensive shoes.alright now the shower it isnt well ventilated if you go in after someone else its going to be humid there is only a window with a small gap.

My Deluxe Single was very spacious and comfortable. My one critique is you have to climb all the way into the capsule pod just to access the touch panel and key card slot to turn on the power. It was very inconvenient, especially when the whole the room was dark. I would suggest the panel be installed right next to the door. The hotel's location is perfect. Close to many restaurants, shops, public transit stations, and site seeing attractions. It was well worth staying here for the price and convenience.

Between a hostel and a hotel. You cant beat this location or the very reasonable price. I was there two weeks for work The center of CBD. I brought a camping air matress and some ear plugs and I was set for comfort. Also a container for shower supply to and fro. Locks on lockers not sturdy, but at night there are three locked doors between me and the outside. So pretty safe. A little kitchen and supermarket across the street ideal to keep food budget reasonable. Most of all, the trio that are at the front desk are super nice people as is the kind and thorough housekeeper. A few (presumably) homeless women did make their way in to wash cloths or use the bathroom and/or sit in the lobby, but they were not a problem at all and I appreciate the managements graciousness to care for a few of the community locals in this way. Loved the Dart Bar in the same building and all of the options gor food across the street. Walked everywhere. The Rocks, Chinatown, Darlinghurst all spinni g around this central point. Huge shopping if its your thing. Hyde Park to the Botanical Gardens were an outstanding part of daily routine. Take the 333 at Museum T Station right to Bondi Beach. Central station just down the road a bit and you can really get anywhere with an Opal card. The public transportation system is world class.I came here as I transition to retirement and it was a perfect stay as I retraced my pension to travel the road less traveled since I was a kid. Highly recommend.

It was clean and cute perfect for my 1 night stay for an event at the ICC. My capsule was a little damaged, duct tape around the opening. And they were a little creaky. But apart from that it was all good.

The capsules were clean, quiet and close to the central CBD. The other reviewers were correct; the pods are noisy when people move around, but most folks realized this and kept moves to a minimum. The bathrooms were very clean and modern - these were great. Like the other reviewers, I echo the thin mattresses (these weren't comfortable), but if you are ok with sleeping on a stiff-type surface, then this place would be fine for you, Not much outside noise, but my stay was mid-week.

An overnight stay late at night. Didn’t feel safe with the bar in the same complex. Check in late it was tricky. I would suggest coming in the day and the bed was too soft I could feel the hard bottom. The reception was great looking after my bags the next day.

One of the better hostels I’ve stayed at. The other reviews about the bed being a bit firm are indeed true. Only two toilet for entire floor but luckily I went at a time when it wasn’t too busy. Staff was very friendly and I do like how the card key could be used for locker storage. Property was pretty clean and overall not bad!
