theater podreclining bedmovie nightssolo traveller
this capsule hotel exceeded my expectations! i stayed in the theater pod all gender. the projector in the pod. i also appreciated the reclining bed and the privacy i felt, especially as a solo traveller.
The automatic blinds in the pod sometimes made a slight whirring sound. Though minor, it was occasionally noticeable at night.

convenient locationhelpful staffscruffy lobbydusty shelves
the location was really convenient. there is a cafe just beside the building that served good breakfast and lunch (i especially liked the pastries). free beers were a bonus too. the staff were helpful.
the lobby area seemed scruffy, needing more attention. the communal area also needed updating. i noticed some scuffs on the walls that needed painting and some dust on the shelves (it made the area less inviting).
