Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel not as described, dirty and noisy. There are blind closures so light comes through and people can see you getting changed. Dirt, hair, and sanitary towels everywhere in female washroom. Poor service at reception. Limited light switches and lack of noise insulation. Asked for a refund but was denied.

I had a great stay for 2 nights. My only concern was the Female Restroom which wasn't secure so a member of the opposite sex could easily access this area especially in the shower area. When i was showering, i felt quite vulnerable. There was a tv mounted in the kitchen area but was told it wasn't working.

Cool spot. A little hard to get in the top bunk but it’s an easy, and cheap option when in a pinch.

If you are solo traveller & want to be on cheap budget, this would be a good place to experience this. I don’t mind the single pod bed & amenities that come with this. I wouldn’t recommend for big families or big groups of people to do this. It is convenient that it’s close by to the Richmond Centre & Transit. Overall, not bad experience!

Rip off

Who doesnt love a pod/capsule hotel? But this is twice the price that it should be. For this price, you can get a pod hotel in NYC with individual shower rooms, individual toilet rooms (not stalls) and an actual “room” where you can stand like a dignified person and put on your underwear. Typical Vancouver. 2 star quality for 5 star pricing. Because… Vancouver.

For $100+ per night, I wouldnt stay again. Inteied it to experience the sleeper pod model but the price point needs to be lower in my opinion.

dorm hostel, not hotel

This is a hostel not a hotel. It was really smelly and bathrooms dirty. It is a dorm of 50 people in one room, not a pod but bunk beds blocked by a curtain. It was noisy as people are travelling to airport so all you hear all night is alarm clocks, and slamming of doors. Do not advertise this as a pod hotel because a pod hotel is a enclosed unit.
