Laundry services is not easily available (there is not nearby laundry shop but around kilometet away and electric port is only in the common arr not in the pod however the frontdesk is accommodating. The pod is nice and lightings and ventilation are good. Comforrability to sleep is fine.

Hygie Hostel was okay, but not as advertised. The “door” to the pod was just a paper curtain, which is very different from what was shown in the pictures. It didn’t feel secure or private at all — definitely not somewhere I would be comfortable letting my daughters stay.

Broken shower meaning we were unable to clean ourselves during this stay. The shower head had fallen off and was on the floor. The base of the shower had also recently been ‘repaired’ with duct tape, which barely covered the seal at the base of the shower. There were multiple holes in the pillow cases, which were also dirty. The bed was squeaky and uncomfortable. There was exposed wires in our room, a blatant lack of safety protocols were followed. The signage for the room was hand written on paper, resembling signage that had been put together by a child. Duct tape all over the handles and locks of the doors. Overall a very bad experience, so much so that we had to book a different hotel for our second night. I expect a full refund for such a terrible experience. If you would like me to provide photos of all of the issues mentioned, I am more than happy to do so, there is but no option to do so through this message board. Many thanks

Been there done that, don't repeat

Thought I would give this place a try. No parking, had to pay $21 for the night so add that to the cost of the room. Bed mattress extremely firm. Had to climb up a latter to get to my upper bunk. Only 1 bathroom for entire floor, as the other one out of order. People were not quiet overall. Sliding "accordion door" wasn't very great. Pillow and blanket were best part of the deal.

This was my first time staying in a hostel type hotel. I went into this thinking that the pod that I slept in would have a lock on it, but it was just a paper shade basically that you pulled down. There was an opening where anyone could come peek in at me and that scared me. The bed was so squeaky I couldn't breathe without it making a noise. I could hear everyone else's beds squeaking and could hear people snoring and coughing. I am unsure if I got any sleep at all. There were lockers there but no locks on them and I was never told to bring a lock... so I had to keep my belongings in my car. The shared bathroom area was nice but the floor was soaking wet at all times from people showering (there was no curtain and it was an open shower). The lady that checked me in was very nice, she offered to keep my things in their office while I went out, but I just put them in my trunk in my car instead. At the end of the day it was 1/5th the price of what a hotel room would have costed. If I decide to give capsules/pods a try again, I will read the other reviews first.

The pictures shown are not what the actual hotel at all. The pods are doorless, open cubbies in the wall with no soundproofing or privacy. The sliding/locking pod doors have been removed and replaced with paper curtains. None of the locks (not even in the washroom) work, and anyone in the hotel can access you and your pod while you sleep, which is so unsafe considering the front desk staff leaves at 11pm and only returns at 2pm the next day. My blanket and pillow were sweaty and soiled when I got there, and my bedsheets were soiled with oily bodily fluid. There were dead ants and dirt under the mattress. The floor and tables are sticky. The air conditioning is not even close to enough to keep the room comfortable with everyone sleeping there. The longer I spent here the farther my stomach sank. I trusted my gut and left. Do not stay here, especially if you are a woman.
The pods with their paper curtains. The side panels look like they slide closed but they do not. They are bolted open.
Pods with felt curtains.
Hallway leading to the pods, washrooms, and common area. Peeling floors and dim lighting. No cameras.
