Good air con, clean and comfy room, clean WC. However there was flies around the bins in the hallways when people put food in there. Then the flies came into my room and was in my capsule :( there was a lot of dust on the walls too.

Overall cleanliness is good, late check in is convenient. Should prepare slipper for consumer to use to keep the cleanliness of the hostel, and let us keep shoes in the locker. Highly recommended.

Good Hostel, great location
The location was perfect, the staff was also very helpful, Wifi worked really good, the only thing was the cleanlines of the showers/toilets area which could be improved

Rooms on the street side are very noisy. The set up with the sink and counter removes significant space within the private rooms. The counter could have been made smaller so you could maneuver in the room more easily. The bathroom had somewhat of an odor and room was a little dirty including the bedding.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is the worst n the last experience staying in container hotel comparing the previous visit with them. The problems are: 1) 2 light of the room is burned 2) living air-cond was leaking 3) the sewerage of the toilet was cloged.

Great value and very convenient
A good 'flashpacker' option- the blind gave the pod a real sense of privacy, and the pod itself (mine was a side entry one) was quite spacious. It's not really a hostel for socialising, but with everything in George Town so close I was hardly there anyway. I never had any issues waiting for showers or the toilet, and the bathroom was always clean enough. I had to check out early for a flight, and there was nobody on reception to reimburse my deposit, however when I emailed the management they offered to send me the money by PayPal very quickly, so I can't complain.

Value for Money, Clean and Modern...an all rounder
Everything was pretty good. I liked the strong AC. Except the wifi kept dropping out and it was frustrating to have to log in numerous times... Also the common corridor smelt because of water seepage issues.
