Clean, comfortable, quiet and private rooms. Central in Launceston. If you just need an affordable place to rest, relax and sleep while spending most of your time exploring Launceston and its surroundings, I recommend staying in the Pod Inn.

Good value for the cost, compared to other places for a place to just sleep. Especially when you just need a place to sleep and get up to spend most of your time out and about during your time in Launceston. I wish that there were more places just like this one to stay and sleep in all around Australia when travelling and exploring. Unlike all of those other backpacker hostel places, where you have no privacy and have to put up with the noise of others during your sleep, especially from snorers.

I booked through a third party, so I missed the information about arrival times. Fortunately, another member of the tour I was on was staying there and knew where to look for access keys. Thank goodness for the staff who left me a key despite my mistake. It was my first pod experience. All the usual hostel experience, but with your own bed space. The location is great and makes it easy to walk around the area.

Bit of a 'funky' smell in the pod section. It would be great to have some nilodor or similar to reduce the odour. Great access to adjacent noodle bar. Very central location. Easy on street parking after hours.

Cooking facilities were limited to basic s, toaster, kettle, air fryer, egg cooker, and microwave. No oven facility. Sleeping pods were clean and well equipped. Communal area was conducive to catching up with fellow travellers or just relaxing
