Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

8/10 Good
"It was a very cozy, small space with a lovely bathroom and hangout area. We learned upon arrival if two guests are sharing the same pod, they both will need to have individual access on their phones. After a long travel, it is something good to know beforehand, so you can go straight to your nest. The pod had lots of outlets and adjustable fun lighting. The AC will not go below 19 degrees and unevenly is distributed throughout the pod. So, my friends was very cold and I was burning out. Overall, I would come back again"

"The only caveat that should be included in the description of the location is that the Glouscester Tube (Subway) station that is a one minute walk of the hotel, DOES NOT HAVE access via elevators when arriving from the airport, so if you are traveling with luggage beware. Besides this the location, hotel, facilities, service, breakfast are EXCELLENT!!!"
