The hotel is at the center of everything, so it's easy to walk to tourist spots. It is also easily accessible via the transport network

Started out with a 3 day reservation and was comfortable enough to add on 7 more days. On site staff was friendly and the cleaning crew did a fine job of keeping the facilities clean. They could add a lot of value by adding a social room and coin-op laundry units.

Was a bit tricky to find as the map linked to the regular hotel not the capsule hostel. At the time, there was a lot of work going on with the building (did not disturb us), but lifts were available as alternative to the stairs.

You need you add a photo of the "dorms" so that people understand that by saying 'private bedroom' it is really in a form with dozens of other pods. That isn't really clear from the listing.

The hostel was cheap, especially for the location! The capsule was clean and had fresh bedding & towels provided. It had a dimming light which was good and also a fan. It also had a usb port, USB c port and plug hole. I was mistaken in thinking this was inside the actual zedwell hotel but staff easily redirected me. The toilets were clean and always had toilet roll and soap which was good. The only disappointing parts were the stairs to the capsules, I was in the third top capsule and the stairs were like half stairs at each side and no handle rail to hold onto. I also woke up in the middle of the night to my shutter opened when I had shut it fully before sleeping. The staff were lovely at check in and throughout, I would definitely book again it is right beside Piccadilly underground.

Area is perfect for central London and safe during the day but at night durning the summer was a little dangerous so be careful. There was a murder down the street and a friend of ours almost got robbed. The place is clean however the capsule has a gate door to open in close in your capsule that was a little hard to open so I decided not to stay there but I did check it to see if I could and I really not for me to stay in A capsule but it was clean and AC worked great. They had shower and toilet share with men and woman. They told me to leave my bag in-front of the door of my bed I thought there was a closet for bags but no they don’t.

Superbly located capsule hotel. Previously the Picadilly Hostel, now recently renovated into Zedwell Capsule Hotel - not to be confused with the co-owned Zedwell Hotel around the corner. At time of visiting, the branding hadn’t fully transitioned to Zedwell. Capsules have comfy beds, a dimmable light, air-conditioning, USB and electrical socket and a privacy screen which can be locked from the inside and outside (using your own padlock). Capsules are either ground level, or up some stairs (which is not ideal). Shared bathrooms and shower facilities are good and continually cleaned. The showers themselves have fixed heads which don’t provide a great experience, but they’re manageable. The real issue is a lack of hooks and shelving when using the sinks! There are no lockers for storing your luggage in the dorms, but security seems good with cameras everywhere and you can always lock your luggage in your capsule when you’re out. Note that at the time of visiting (July 2025), the communal space hadn’t yet opened. A towel was provided free of charge, and could be changed daily, which was excellent, but reception advised they may introduce a fee for these in the future - please don’t! Management - please add more hooks and shelving in the dorms and the bathrooms! Also, please make luggage storage before and after checkout free-of-charge, as if you begin charging, suddenly your pricing doesn’t look so reasonable.

Superbly located capsule hotel (not to be confused with the nearby Zedwell Hotel). Entrance is on Shaftesbury Avenue. Each capsule consists of a comfy mattress, a dimmable light, a fan, UK plug socket, USB and USB-c ports, plus a privacy screen which can be locked from the inside and outside (using your own padlock or £3 to buy from reception (in August 2025)). A towel was provided free of charge and could be changed daily. Capsules are either on ground level, or up some stairs (not ideal, especially if you have mobility issues). The major problem with the capsules is that they’re incredibly warm (despite the fan). This can make them quite unpleasant! For a new property, it’s very disappointing the owners decided not to install air-conditioning in the dorms. This, plus the lack of a communal place to sit outside your capsule, is not ideal. Note that the lack of communal space means you shouldn’t stay here if you’re looking to meet and socialise with other travellers. The shared bathrooms facilities are OK. The showers have a fixed head and no temperature control, just a push button to activate. Not ideal, but manageable. A real issue is a lack of hooks and shelving when using the sinks, it’s really inconvenient. One concern is that, having stayed here twice since it opened, six weeks apart, I’m really disappointed to see how the condition of the shared bathroom facilities has deteriorated. Management need to address these issues.

The minimalist “cocoon” concept of this place is interesting and the cost of staying here is significantly less than hotels. BUT the cocoon you sleep in isn’t much bigger than a coffin and the entire place is like a giant “Petri Dish”. They would have to go thru much more extensive cleaning and disinfecting their cocoons and restrooms to be safe … and even then, all it takes is one person with respiratory ailment or cold to spread it to scores of others. I NEVER get sick yet, after only one night there, the next day my nose started running and I was sneezing, coughing, and blowing my nose for a week. I had paid for 9 nights but only stayed 2 nights and went to a hotel to get air conditioning, sleep, & get better. I asked Zed for a refund of some of the nights I didn’t stay there but it was nonrefundable (so beware of that too.) Speaking of air conditioning, I got the impression Zedwell Cocoon was supposed to have separate air controls … in reality, it only had an on/off switch for a light and a fan that did not make it cooler. It was hot, humid, and sweaty in that Cocoon … you have to decide which is more important, leaving your Cocoon door open (hoping to get some cooler air but not feeling safe as you sleep) or close your door for safety and sweating (all while breathing in the germs from the last 10 people in that Cocoon & bathrooms). Conclusion is it was MISERABLE, I didn’t get any sleep either night, and I caught a nasty illness because I stayed there. Never again!
