For the price, it’s the best! The staff prioritize cleanliness and have certain rules that make staying in the shared pods even better. I have literally no complaints I stayed there for 3 days. It was peaceful. Thank you! I’ll definitely visit again in the future.

It's not luxury but for the price It's good. Staff is very nice and people are generally quiet and respectful of others. Across the street from the Sky Tower, around the corner from a grocery store, and right down the street from Queen St.

Location is good, but...
The room was dirty full of dusty and some rubish left from the last occupant and the bed were to small for me and theres a loud noise at night from some pipe. The shower is horrible it feels like a tap o the wall and you must be lucky to get hot water.
