So awful. It was like a prison. The bathroom floors were muddy and wet, even with sandals on I didn’t feel clean. The bathrooms smelled. My capsule had a smell and could tell someone had previously smoked in there. Would not recommend. I found an alternative stay within hours of being there.

Großer Raum mit vielen Capsules für viele Leute, aber nur wenige Bäder. Badezimmer sind viel genutzt und daher nass und teils unordentlich. Lüftung in den Kapseln nicht ausreichend. Positiv: Kapsel kann sicher abgeschlossen werden.

I've never stayed at a hostel before so I don't know whats standard and how my stay compares. The employees were all friendly and helpful. I found my pillow to be inadequate; it barely had any stuffing in it. The dorm i stayed in got quite warm and had an odour but it was no doubt the other people in the room and not the room itself.

Habe alleine für eine Nacht in diesem Hostel übernachtet. Ich hatte eine Singel Capsule. Wenn man die Capsule einen Spalt auflässt, ist die Luftzirkulation besser. Vor meiner Kapsel war ein Ventilator, der zusätzlich Luft in die Kapsel gebracht hat. Insgesamt war die Kapsel geräumig und sauber. Es roch frisch. Ab 22 Uhr ist Nachtruhe. Gut zum Schlafen. Im Hochsommer könnte es etwas stickig werden. Die Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen wie Duschen und Toiletten sind gepflegt und sauber. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Die Lage ist top.

The staff and pod beds were great. The hostel was let down as the pods barely have any ventilation and in 40+ degree heat were almost unbearable. In cooler days though I’d recommend the hostel as it’s well run, in a great location and value for money

I was attacked and threatened with extreme physical violence by another guest of this hostel. An employee witnessed it and did nothing, literally chuckled and continued cleaning the bar. The other employee working that night shift had just returned from sleeping with an 18 year old guest who he had just met, bragging about how bad she wanted it. This hostel is the absolute worst place I have ever stayed. Their moto written all over the hotel is "don't panic", well if you do stay here, don't just panic, run away as fast as you can.

O hostel é sensacional, a capsula que foi minha experiência. Muito bem localizado, capsula é grande e espaçosa, banheiro era do lado e individual. Tem o locker que cabe tranquilamente a mala pequena e uma mochila. Na esquina tem um restaurante italiano e uma lojinha que da pra comprar bebida. Tem bicicletas elétricas da Lime bem na frente. É mto central, vale MUITO a pena. E também têm 2 caras do staff que falam português, mas todos falam inglês. Melhor cápsula que já fiquei, recomendo demais… pode ir sem medo.
