Pods weren’t entirely clean (there we some dried coffee stains on the wall in mine) and some minor wear and tear (some small holes in the mattress cover) but apart from that it was decently alright. Just prepare yourself for the kinds of people you will meet here, as one man was very very clearly drunk yet was still allowed to check in :/
Simple accomodation but just what was required. An alternative to hotels with the sleep
pods and shared bathroom and kitchen. Everything was clean and functioned well
Details on Expedia state there is onsite parking for $2 however when we arrived we were told there is no parking. When asked the staff about this and showed them the information they had no idea about it and just advised on where to park nearby. We were pretty annoyed and ontop of that received awful customer service. It was 2pm and we would’ve had to wait until 530pm for free parking and leave our car somewhere on the street or car park nearby. We have our luggage in the car and the storage for pods would’ve been to small and didn’t feel comfortable just leaving our car somewhere on the streets so we checked in to see what the pods were all about and they smelled pretty bad! The amenities were dirty and the whole place was just not worth the price. We decided we’d rather loose our money on the booking as it was non refundable and ended up booking somewhere else and just walked out. Expedia needs to update their details about parking as we just wasted our money. However after seeing what was offered, the poor customer service and the conditions of the place, for the price they charge it wouldn’t have been worth staying anyway. Would not recommend.
For the price you pay can’t expect more. You can hear everything even when you’re in your pod, the pod itself looks clean and it’s comfy and room enough for 1. Showers have mould and are small the lockers aren’t big enough and the other guests had things lined up along walls. Would stay again only because of the cheap price.
First time in a pod - good experience and would repeat. Not much of a kitchen and the reception desk person did not seem to be well suited for a customer service oriented job. Otherwise all good.
Perfect for a few nights stay, where I just needed a bed to sleep after busy days .
The kitchen / communal area and bathrooms were clean and serviceable .
I would recommend Pod inn for anyone wanting a no fuss , self sufficient approach to sleep and move on
It was a good night place to stay especially when you are single

Accueil sommaire tout comme l'électroménager et le ménage dans l'espace cuisine. Aucune réactivité de la part du personnel concernant prise USB hors service dans la cabine F05 malgré signalement à l'accueil (25/01 - 14H00).
Couchage propre et confortable. Sanitaires (SDB WC) propres (lorsque les utilisatrice respectent les installations). La discrétion du personnel est préjudiciable au caractère chaleureux qu'un touriste est en mesure d'attendre dans une auberge de jeunesse.
