Safety
No reception at night is too bad and dangerous also inside room there is not any camera(CCTV) provided for safety as there are no lock for Capsouls.

Great place to stay if heading out for a few drink
Always a great stay at the capsule Hotel, i Live 2 hours out of the CBD and works out great if i want to catch up with mates and go out drinking, 5 mins walk from Town Hall Station, walk to everything including markets, little Japan with great food, lots of great bars within walking distance, also has a great little Japanese dart bar with Kiren on tap! The bathroom etc is shared but always clean, bedding and capsules clean, if your heading out in the CBD cant get anything more central for the money, cant recommend enough

Decent for the price
Decent place in the heart of Haymarket. Capsules provide privacy.

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!
Lawanda, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Laura, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay for lower budget travelers
It's a great place for the price, the location and in fact it's Sydney. The few cons is that reception only open from 10 to 8 which is a short window for guest to check in or leave their bag on the last day. The capsules have no sound isolation which is standard for all capsule hotels but the power cuts off when you remove the card from its slot. This meant that I can't even leave my power bank to be changed while I'm away exploring the city.

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.

The dorms were clean, quiet and very tidy. Lockers a good size. Bathrooms quite old and damaged tiles etc. Overall quite a pleasant surprise for the price, however the mattress was so thin it was quite uncomfortable to try to sleep on. Ive had neck pain since. If my mattress had have been a bit thicker and comfortable, I would stay again.

Make sure to demand a capsule that actually works.
The capsule I was in was broken. Clearly terrible maintenance. I couldn't lock my capsule and I felt completely vulnerable.

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.

Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

I liked the location and price.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Jane, 2-night trip

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.
