My Deluxe Single was very spacious and comfortable. My one critique is you have to climb all the way into the capsule pod just to access the touch panel and key card slot to turn on the power. It was very inconvenient, especially when the whole the room was dark. I would suggest the panel be installed right next to the door. The hotel's location is perfect. Close to many restaurants, shops, public transit stations, and site seeing attractions. It was well worth staying here for the price and convenience.

Between a hostel and a hotel. You cant beat this location or the very reasonable price. I was there two weeks for work The center of CBD. I brought a camping air matress and some ear plugs and I was set for comfort. Also a container for shower supply to and fro. Locks on lockers not sturdy, but at night there are three locked doors between me and the outside. So pretty safe. A little kitchen and supermarket across the street ideal to keep food budget reasonable. Most of all, the trio that are at the front desk are super nice people as is the kind and thorough housekeeper. A few (presumably) homeless women did make their way in to wash cloths or use the bathroom and/or sit in the lobby, but they were not a problem at all and I appreciate the managements graciousness to care for a few of the community locals in this way. Loved the Dart Bar in the same building and all of the options gor food across the street. Walked everywhere. The Rocks, Chinatown, Darlinghurst all spinni g around this central point. Huge shopping if its your thing. Hyde Park to the Botanical Gardens were an outstanding part of daily routine. Take the 333 at Museum T Station right to Bondi Beach. Central station just down the road a bit and you can really get anywhere with an Opal card. The public transportation system is world class.I came here as I transition to retirement and it was a perfect stay as I retraced my pension to travel the road less traveled since I was a kid. Highly recommend.

It was clean and cute perfect for my 1 night stay for an event at the ICC. My capsule was a little damaged, duct tape around the opening. And they were a little creaky. But apart from that it was all good.

The capsules were clean, quiet and close to the central CBD. The other reviewers were correct; the pods are noisy when people move around, but most folks realized this and kept moves to a minimum. The bathrooms were very clean and modern - these were great. Like the other reviewers, I echo the thin mattresses (these weren't comfortable), but if you are ok with sleeping on a stiff-type surface, then this place would be fine for you, Not much outside noise, but my stay was mid-week.

An overnight stay late at night. Didn’t feel safe with the bar in the same complex. Check in late it was tricky. I would suggest coming in the day and the bed was too soft I could feel the hard bottom. The reception was great looking after my bags the next day.

Overall was good, the property was clean and quiet. Worth price for short stay. My AC was noise that only one thing annoys me while sleeping. Recommend this place for who needs a rest while waiting for a flight.

One of the better hostels I’ve stayed at. The other reviews about the bed being a bit firm are indeed true. Only two toilet for entire floor but luckily I went at a time when it wasn’t too busy. Staff was very friendly and I do like how the card key could be used for locker storage. Property was pretty clean and overall not bad!

Great affordable option to stay in Sydney. The hostel is super well positioned in the city - nearby to 2 metro stations within 7-10 minutes walk. The hostel has a basic kitchen - no cooking stoves but microwave, fridge for food storage. The capsules are fairly comfortable. It is nice that you can close the capsule door, it has a light and ventilators built in. The capsules are not sound proof so you can hear the neighbors but overall it gives you privacy, good and clean place to sleep, great location and sufficient amenities within the budget.
