Unique stay. Didnt have any issues. Kinda novelty. Mattress not too comfy though and with so many in the pods, its got that locker room kinda smell. But very easy to navigate. Clear. No sweat. Quick and easy kind of place.

Perfect cheap bed for the night after attending a night game of footy. Pod itself was very clean and reasonably comfortable. Little bit noisy with doors closing but couldn't hear talking etc. Bathroom area was just ok. Time we were there we didnt use shared kitchen facilities. Overall would definitely stay again if not anticipating spending time at the pod other than to sleep.

POD was quite hot as it was a very warm night and the fan did little to cool it down. If it was winter, I’m sure it would have been a lot more comfortable.

there was hair and what looked like snot stuck to the wall inside the pod, the building had terrible ventilation and absolutely stank of body odour. yes it was cheap but if you can’t at least keep the place clean it shouldn’t operate
