This time the private capsule was clean but small as expected with the price. Some noises during the night, but nothing too wild. Downstairs bar and the live music there was great. Good choice if you do not need too much sleeping space and are lucky enough to get a clean capsule. Hostel staff was nice and friendly.

The private capsule was not too clean this time. Some earlier guest had left her trashes under the matress and the cleaner had apparently missed them. Room lock was not working, corridor info screens were broken, shared toilet was missing parts, etc. Nights were cold since windows are kept open in the capsule rooms all the time. The staff was quite nice and relaxed and the bar was fine. Downstairs in the bar there is a chillout room which I found out when leaving and it was too late to try it.

Very good central location to a lot of buses and trains. I slept in a double pod. There’s no storage available in rooms. You have to pay to use lockers daily. Although it is clean, this property doesn’t have a separate lounge outside it’s bar/restaurant. It’s nice and quiet during the day but if you’re just trying to relax or get some work done at night, it can get loud.
