Simple accomodation but just what was required. An alternative to hotels with the sleep
pods and shared bathroom and kitchen. Everything was clean and functioned well

Spacious, quiet.
I was worried of feeling claustrophobic but there is a lot of room and everyone else is very polite especially the staff

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

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

I really enjoyed staying here it reminded me of Star Trek. It was all I needed a place to sleep at a reasonable price. There was a communication breakdown but it was resolved easily.

Older guests should be given the option of a bottom capsule as entry to the upper ones is awkward.
