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

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.

Overall, it was very nice, but there were a lot of people in the common areas at night. Apparently, many of the guests from the restaurant next door were directed to the hotel's common space. Not recommended for those who want to relax in the common space.

Unique stay. Didnt have any issues. Kinda novelty. Mattress not too comfy though and with so many in the pods, its got that locker room kinda smell. But very easy to navigate. Clear. No sweat. Quick and easy kind of place.
