Nice pod hostel!

It was my first time in a capsule hostel and I enjoyed my stay. Capsules are partially closed with a roller blind but you still have a lot of privacy inside your pod. Pods are comfortable enough and are equipped with a reading light. I was lucky and nobody snore so the room was very quiet. It is a convenient option to sleep in DC if you are traveling alone for a few days and don't mind spending time in a ~2x1x1m pod. Restrooms and showers were clean and staff was friendly.

I always love staying at this hostel. It’s my second time, but it’s always clean, check in and out is easy, and staff are always more than willing to help you out if you’re confused or in a rush.

Staff were extremely nice and hosted multiple events for guests. I was there for the free beer night and hostel birthday which was a blast. I slept in the 14 person capsule room and had no issues. The locker that is provided worked perfectly and showers were fine.

I loved it. This is my first time staying in a hotel. I'm usually concerned about privacy but I loved this. The pods were very private and large enough. I could actually get dressed in there and there's a mirror with LED lights so I could do my hair and makeup too. It was also pretty quiet in the rooms and there are lockers. Only con is the charging situation.. there's only one USB and one USBc. So bring your portable charger. It wasn't crowded at all and it was clean. I would recommend for a quick stay especially if you only need a place to sleep and get ready.

Suficiente y agradable

Muy amables al llegar, te solicitan el taxi y te responden las preguntas hasta resolver tus problemas. Tal vez una observación, sólo pediría una mayor limpieza en las duchas.
