Bit of a 'funky' smell in the pod section. It would be great to have some nilodor or similar to reduce the odour. Great access to adjacent noodle bar. Very central location. Easy on street parking after hours.

My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.

I had a double pod even though it was just me. I found that it was spacious enough that I didn't feel claustrophobic - but if I'd gotten a single one I might have been a bit panicky. With the double, not at all panicky. It was just a plastic box at the end of the day, but it was fun, private and more than sufficient. The shared bathrooms were clean and tidy, with basic toiletries for guests to share. I liked that. I would stay here again if I was traveling alone and just needed somewhere to sleep. iOS perfect for that. The double capsule measures about 2m in length and 160cm in width. Sitting up in bed there's still about 8-10 inches above your head (I'm 5'6").
