Overall, great stay if you are only staying for one night and it’s a solo trip. The location is convenient and the price is cheap. However, they do charge for almost everything. They charge for renting a lock and to rent a towel (£5), also charge for any check in and out amendment and luggage facility. So basically everything. There’s no Aircon there, but there’s an air filter. Which means you get purified air. But you do get very stuffy in there. It’s not the cleanest as it’s really dirty under the bed. Dusts, bits and bobs. Great day for the price and the location. But not ideal if you travel together with someone for more than one day.

On the evening of arrival reception staff were dismissive and impolite. We had asked to be put in a mixed dorm as there were three of us and we wanted to be together. We would have been understanding if we were told that it was fully booked and there was no availability but our answer was just “I've put you in the women's dorm now”. The pods were clean and set up nicely but my outside lock did not work which meant my stuff was not secure when I went to the toilets. It looked like this was the case for quite a few of the pods because my friend had to call reception staff up to fix his. On the second night at 4am someone tried to open my pod from the outside. I messaged the reception and a lady did come up to assure me everything was alright and occasionally drunk women try to get into the wrong pods, she walked me to the toilets. When I made my way back to the block my capsule was in, there was a man waiting to go in and assumed to follow me in. I told him I wouldn't let him in and had to use my nails to pull the door closed behind me. Again, I messaged the reception team, the app did not let me scroll so I could not see replies, they did not reply for 20 minutes asking for my capsule number, they knew it the first time. My reply was delayed by being unable to scroll. The next message I received from them was at 6:21am saying they were glad the problem was resolved. I didn't feel safe and I would not stay again or recommend it.

Cocoon capsules are not for the claustrophobic, but once you are over the enclosed nature, and the clambering to get in to the capsules, the actual bed is very comfortable. The little fan that brings air in is a bit noisy, but as it is “white noise” it shouldn’t affect your sleep. If you are wanting to go out whilst

Very affordable but facing some teething issues. The place felt a bit hard to navigate- the lobby felt pretty hidden away and the lifts seemed to never arrive. The lock on my capsule didn’t work either so I had to bring my luggage with me. For the price it’s hard to beat though, and definitely something I’d consider doing again.

I wasn't given the capsule I booked. Booked Female capsule which slightly costs more than mixed ones but didn't give me back the difference insisting it was the issues by Hotels.com. I did online checkin as I got instruction email by the hotel - well, via Hotels.com. There should've been some data mis-matching, which is not MY fault, more like between theirs and this Hotels.com data transfer system. So be careful upon check-in if you book female pod from here. Better message the hotel for reconfirm before checkin. They said they'd investigate what happened, there was another case in a week. From following night, they said they move me to female pod (I originally booked) but didn't do anything about my 1st night. Mixed pod area was quite safe so my stay itself was okay. Capsule was slightly bigger than expected. No wait time for toilet / shower. I didn't like the shower room - hope they replace the shower head. You can get slippers, earplugs, water, little snacks by vending machine. No tea / coffee / hot water facilities on site as far as I saw. Bins are for everything, no bin for recycling.

The capsule itself is cozy and well-designed for a good night’s sleep. The mattress was comfortable, and I appreciated having both a power outlet and USB ports for charging devices. Features like dimmable lighting, a mirror, and a fan you can control added convenience. The pillow and duvet were also of good quality, which was a nice touch. However, the temperature inside the capsule was a major drawback—it became uncomfortably warm. Even in December, I had to keep the door slightly open for fresh air. I can only imagine how hot it will get during summer. Storage options were limited. There was no dedicated space for shoes or luggage, so guests ended up placing them wherever they could find room. This felt disorganized and could easily be improved. On the positive side, there were plenty of showers and toilets, so I never experienced a queue. That said, the shower design needs attention—you get wetter standing near the door than under the showerhead, and belongings can easily get soaked if not placed carefully. Free shower soap was a nice bonus. The elevator was painfully slow, which was frustrating. I hope this is addressed soon. Check-in was self-service via an iPad, which worked fine, but if you need assistance, expect to wait in line. I missed having more attentive service at check-in; staff seemed disengaged and offered minimal help. Overall, for the price I paid, the experience was borderline acceptable. I’ve had better stays at hostels compared to this hotel.

Great location. Low cost. It's an odd experience. Fine for one night. Wouldn't want to stay longer. I know it's intentionally very basic, but not being given a towel seemed to be taking that minimalist approach a bit too far.
