Close to everything in the heart of the city. Only thing is the capsules are what seems to be mould injected or pressed plastic and feel ver flimsy and make all kinds of creaking noises when getting in and out of them. Other than that, all other amenities are good.

I was pleasantly surprised. It was very clean and quiet. No frills or thrills. Cost effective. I would recommend if you’re on a budget. Great location!

Can’t beat the price. Nice and cozy. Much better than a dorm room in hostels. The beds are thin foam. Very uncomfortable beds. If they upgrade the mattresses it’s a perfect cheap simple place to stay in heart of cbd.

Highly recommended
Loved the capsule. Was very private and clean. It has great little amenities like good lighting, mirror, charges, air con and reduces the noise which is the biggest issue in hotels.

Apart from the capsule being a little thin (can hear noises outside), the accommodation was tidy and comfortable. Excellent staff service and located right at next to Sydney Town Hall. Highly recommended.

CBD located for good access.
Perfectly fine place to stay. In the heart of the CBD so lots going on. Capsules provide some privacy. They are quite cheeky and loud, and the mattress a bit thin. Overall it’s fine. Would stay again.

The pods are actually much bigger and spacious than expected so wouldn't worry if you're concerned about feeling cramped. It's a great concept however the pods are quite run down and don't feel very sturdy, when someone gets into one on the same block as you the whole thing shakes and the doors are very loud. My door also had tape on it which didn't give a great impression of sturdiness! However all other facilities are decent a great location

Only complaint is that it is very hard to find as it is on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors and a tiny sign that doesn’t stand out in any way. Oh and the elevator is absolutely the slowest elevator of all time. Apparently bc it’s old it’s considered “heritage” and so they can’t do much to it- including making it any faster than ~5 or so minutes to get to any floor. Overall, clean, well kept, and comfortable

Portaloo on its side with a space theme!
I had heard about capsule hotels from an event attendee years ago and wanted to try out as something different, and different it is. As my partner pointed out, and because I mentioned it was very plastic-y and therefore very noisy when you get in and out, it kind of looks like a portaloo on its side. Pros. Super cheap place to stay. Communal kitchen really nice, and has tea and coffee, microwave and big glass fridges. Level 3 had the kitchen, compact lounge/dining area and 16 capsule dorm. I found most guests were considerate of others, keeping noise down etc. suprisingly quite on Fri and Sat nights even though a bar on floor below and Works Square outside. Capsule adequate size, nice cosy duvet and pillow. Cons

My Deluxe Single was very spacious and comfortable. My one critique is you have to climb all the way into the capsule pod just to access the touch panel and key card slot to turn on the power. It was very inconvenient, especially when the whole the room was dark. I would suggest the panel be installed right next to the door. The hotel's location is perfect. Close to many restaurants, shops, public transit stations, and site seeing attractions. It was well worth staying here for the price and convenience.

It was clean and cute perfect for my 1 night stay for an event at the ICC. My capsule was a little damaged, duct tape around the opening. And they were a little creaky. But apart from that it was all good.

The capsules were clean, quiet and close to the central CBD. The other reviewers were correct; the pods are noisy when people move around, but most folks realized this and kept moves to a minimum. The bathrooms were very clean and modern - these were great. Like the other reviewers, I echo the thin mattresses (these weren't comfortable), but if you are ok with sleeping on a stiff-type surface, then this place would be fine for you, Not much outside noise, but my stay was mid-week.
