My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.

I had a double pod even though it was just me. I found that it was spacious enough that I didn't feel claustrophobic - but if I'd gotten a single one I might have been a bit panicky. With the double, not at all panicky. It was just a plastic box at the end of the day, but it was fun, private and more than sufficient. The shared bathrooms were clean and tidy, with basic toiletries for guests to share. I liked that. I would stay here again if I was traveling alone and just needed somewhere to sleep. iOS perfect for that. The double capsule measures about 2m in length and 160cm in width. Sitting up in bed there's still about 8-10 inches above your head (I'm 5'6").

Was a bit tricky to find parking but the rest of the experience was good, wasn’t expecting to get towels and a locker for each one 😅facilities and space inside the capsule big enough, clean and modern

8/10 Very good

The pod was spotless. It was different not being able to see out once you shut the door but it was private. Perhaps the only thing I would have liked was for someone to show me my pod and a few words of explanation rather than just give me the keys. Otherwise the staff were very helpful and the communial areas were spotless.

Overall, it was very nice, but there were a lot of people in the common areas at night. Apparently, many of the guests from the restaurant next door were directed to the hotel's common space. Not recommended for those who want to relax in the common space.

The pods were rad to sleep in. Generally quiet and facilities were good. Liked the location - easy walk to food outlets and our sporting destination.

Simple accomodation but just what was required. An alternative to hotels with the sleep pods and shared bathroom and kitchen. Everything was clean and functioned well

Perfect for a few nights stay, where I just needed a bed to sleep after busy days . The kitchen / communal area and bathrooms were clean and serviceable . I would recommend Pod inn for anyone wanting a no fuss , self sufficient approach to sleep and move on

As I said clean, good location. A bit noisy in the pod but otherwise lovely.

Perfect cheap bed for the night after attending a night game of footy. Pod itself was very clean and reasonably comfortable. Little bit noisy with doors closing but couldn't hear talking etc. Bathroom area was just ok. Time we were there we didnt use shared kitchen facilities. Overall would definitely stay again if not anticipating spending time at the pod other than to sleep.

4/10 Fair

For the price you pay can’t expect more. You can hear everything even when you’re in your pod, the pod itself looks clean and it’s comfy and room enough for 1. Showers have mould and are small the lockers aren’t big enough and the other guests had things lined up along walls. Would stay again only because of the cheap price.

Spacious pod

It was interesting. It feels like you are in a space shuttle or something. For a capsule, it is quite spacious so I am surprised I dod not feel claustrophobic. I stayed there for only one night anyway. The only thing you have to take into consideration is you cannot make much noise as every noise can be heard from inside the pod. For someone who has never traveled backpacking nor camping, this is probably not my cup of tea but it is definitely worth to try out. Location is awesome as you can walk to nearby cafes and restaurants.
