the pod had such limited space and u could hear every movement from everyone. but overall, it was okay for a $50+ stay. the staff was also very accommodating and nice. it was clean and okay for a one night stay

The USB ports didn't appear to work. When in the bottom pod and someone needs to get into the upper pod, quite often it makes the whole structure shake to an unacceptable degree. The upper pod should be anchored in such a way it does not affect the bottom or nearby pods. At one point I thought I had locked myself in the toilet. Someone helped me get out quick enough though.

The pods offer a level of privacy not seen in most hostel accommodation. I think 6 pods was enough for the area that was available, and we didn't really see or disturb each other. Most snoring can be drowned out by switching on the air circulation fan. There were 4 mains outlets, which was good.

Pods were loud to get in and out of. Limited room at 6.2 feet I just fit. Usb sockets damaged. Did find power board under matress till I was leaving.

Capsules were basically bunk beds with a plastic shell, so little acoustic privacy. Kitchen and bathroom were not quite up to the demands of that through put of people

Good location, friendly staff

Stayed in February 2025

Perhaps a supply of toilet paper in the cupboard under the sink, and maybe a TV in the rooms.

I loved the shower. The water pressure, the instant hot water and the privacy

My only negative would be there’s no lamp in the room so stuck with the massive bright light on or no light at all but in regards to the stay overall…. It’s the price i pay, for the price I pay….

Great location - within walking distance to my necessities at the moment. Frank is accurate in his description of the property, it has more of a share house type of vibe (being a hostel/homestay) rather than a hotel. In saying that, rooms I’ve stayed in are always clean & the property is EXTREMELY QUIET overnight. The other guests, are like me, simply requiring a roof over their head for the night instead of being on the streets. I’ve stayed here a few times now and it’s got a very homely feel. I’ve only ever stayed in the rooms and not in the pods so I can only comment on them. Check-in is always prompt and hassle-free, Frank has great communication with his guests and for someone like me who suffers with social anxiety, the self check-in option is definitely a bonus.

Pods were pretty cool and cosy and staff “hugh” is an awesome character and very polite who does awesome meals also.

Location.

The Pods were a great experience. North Richmond was an interesting place to be located & not necessarily a safe one. I was able to access the property & come & go easily while feeling like it was secure for only guests. Staff were aware I was coming & happily answered questions. Other guests were friendly & I felt safe & comfortable.

Pods were creaky so made noise getting in and out. Privacy flap would not stay down. Had to improvise.

Place had a homely feel and residents and workers were polite and friendly.

I believe the lock box to store the room keys was broken during my stay.

Good location. Easy check-in and clean amenities.

Very helpful and friendly staff

The district is not very good, there are full of drug dealers, thieves, I saw someone stealing food from grocery store nearby. As male workers are taking care of this place, it is not very clean, surfaces in my room were dirty. There was a fan in my room, but it was still too hot. There was an option to have dinner/ breakfast for additional charge, but all the products I saw around did not look fresh, had no wish to use this service.

I liked that I could find cheap place to stay. Train station is close.

Not a lot of fridge space. Powdered milk for coffee. And sometimes can house undesirables, like the hysterical ragged woman who was getting kicked out as I arrived.

I liked that I got to have my own space, even if it was just a room, it my room for a night. I've paid more for a backpackers hostel which didn't have a smokers area, had to share with 3 other blokes and dormitory style setting. Here you get a literal house with your own safe and private (and not small either) room.

Not very clean, but o expected that. So that's fine. Anyway nothing too much. The only tip I want to give to all people with car: The parking it's perfectly easy to find around that area bit it's 2P or 4P. So you should move the car every couple of hours. And.. to be honest it's maybe better to pay a full day parking somewhere around so u don't have to worry about that meanwhile you visiting the city.

The owner is really kind and gentle if you need anything. The house is really nice. Not too far from CBD. Maybe 30 minutes by foot. The chance to be close in your space, when you are in bed, it's really good. Also because you have your private light and private charger. Also, really quiet. Big kitchen, 2 bathrooms, nice living room and terrace.

It was very hot and muggy in the room with only a thin curtain against the sun's direction.

The check in was speedy, privacy was good, as was the bathroom.
