Perfect for a few nights stay, where I just needed a bed to sleep after busy days . The kitchen / communal area and bathrooms were clean and serviceable . I would recommend Pod inn for anyone wanting a no fuss , self sufficient approach to sleep and move on

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.

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

For the price you pay can’t expect more. You can hear everything even when you’re in your pod, the pod itself looks clean and it’s comfy and room enough for 1. Showers have mould and are small the lockers aren’t big enough and the other guests had things lined up along walls. Would stay again only because of the cheap price.

Spacious pod

It was interesting. It feels like you are in a space shuttle or something. For a capsule, it is quite spacious so I am surprised I dod not feel claustrophobic. I stayed there for only one night anyway. The only thing you have to take into consideration is you cannot make much noise as every noise can be heard from inside the pod. For someone who has never traveled backpacking nor camping, this is probably not my cup of tea but it is definitely worth to try out. Location is awesome as you can walk to nearby cafes and restaurants.
