Overall it was a great experience. The cubes are clean and cozy and provide a good night's sleep. The bathrooms and sauna are relaxing - just be aware that you'll have to shower in front of other people. Think of a gym locker room with showers and no doors. It's really not that weird, but some of my other American friends found it to be awkward. There is a private shower, but it's tiny and gets busy in the morning - so if you don't do the group showers you'll end up waiting for 45 min to take a shower. My only complaints are the following: 1) you need to always take the elevator up to the 6th floor (reception) then down to the first floor to exit. I understand they do this because they don't want people to leave the building with key cards, but it's a pain if you're waiting on a food delivery and just want to run outside for a sec. 2) The business cabins don't have very good ventilation. The larger cabins have a space for cool air to enter from the top, but the smaller cabins do not. While they do keep the sleeping area pretty cool, once you pull down your little shade thing you'll get a bit warm. Long story short, I'd sleep here again! It was cheap and in an OK location.
