A great stay, especially when the rates in the city are sky high. Comfortable beds maybe bring your own pillow, if you can help it don’t bring your car.

As a solo young female, this place felt extremely safe. Facilities were very clean. Only thing I would recommend is bringing your own hair shampoo and conditioner as there was only universal liquid soap in the bathroom. Everything else was awesome!

Nice Place Close to Transport

Nice hostel. Staff are lovely and helpful. 24 hour reception. Plenty of extra toilets and showers on the floor in addition to the ensuite. Only thing I can say other than that is the floor in the room needed vacuuming or sweeping a lot better, and perhaps more regularly. There was always stuff left behind, especially behind the locker doors. Very close to North Station as well, so very handy getting around.

The room stay was nice. The individual beds were spacious, comfortable, and had great features including adjustable lights, fan, and bed. Unfortunately there was in issue during check-in, and my card was accidentally charged twice. Once I brought it up, the employee at the counter was polite and very helpful and processed my refund.

Great place to crash!

Just needed a bed and this was exactly that. Clean shared bathrooms, clean bed, good security. I lucked out and was there when it was very quiet, other guests in shared room were very respectful. I would stay there again. I only stayed for one night, quick in and out.

Convenient and extremely nice staff, clean and quiet. The pod is a bit claustrophobic for me, but otherwise this place is great! Couldn’t ask for better service. Location is great! Price point excellent!

I was impressed by the smartly designed building, the “pod” concept, the small towel hangers in the bathrooms, a hung pocket attached above the beds in the pod to hang things, and the conveniently-provided locks for your storage unit underneath the bed (some places ask one to pay for a lock). I was mildly annoyed by a mother and son deciding to have a conversation at 3 am and then at 7 am. Well, I guess they didn’t get much sleep - well done.
