    The noise inside the capsule is spread. The beds make noise when you move and are heard by others.

    The access, the check in, the cleanliness.

    You could hear every time someone in one of the other bunks turned over or climbed up. My code didn't work when I arrived so I had to call them to get into the building.

    Convenient to the railway station and fairly comfortable.

    There was no kitchen at all, and I don't say like a proper stove and cabinets, not even a simple fridge not a kettle not a microwave. Nothing. The panel inside the pod was super bright and if you switch it off pulling the card out it wouldn't charge your phone. And there's no socket not even a Swiss one (let alone European or universal) but just a usb/type-C points like the ones you use in the car instead of cigarette lighter and it takes forever to charge anything. The capsule was very squeaky and hard to make a move without making noise. Same goes to your neighbors above or under you. There was no shower gel or shampoo in the shower, not even a big bottle of cheap stuff nailed to the wall, nothing.

    It was very clean, comfortable bedding, and great location. When my control panel started to act up I was moved to a different pod without any problems.

    So noisy, everything squeaks when wmanumyone moves. No sound insulation so if someone gets up, you're all awake. And the pictures don't show you how small the space really is.

    The cube was difficult to get in and out of, I ended up with lots of bruises. The mattress was thin and uncomfortable. There weren't any tea/coffee making facilities and there was no drinking water available. It was way overpriced. The flooring of the cube was very creaky and noisy. Every time someone moved during the night it woke everyone up.

    Great location

    nothing, very difficult to get to the assigned capsule, impossible to understand instructions, only in german. while I struggled to understand the instructions for getting the key 4 persons were in the same situation like me, and luckily there was a person who've been through the process and explained us. Penible. Safety is a huge issue in case of fire everybody would have been dead, I don't understand how the permit for this was obtained

    The bed structure is squeaking. When someone moves in one of the capsules, the noise is rather loud in the whole room. Also, the locker electronic system does not always work. You need to use your card many times until it unlocks.

    The changing room is great and the locker size is great.

    Not a lot of space, you can hear your neighbours, not sound proof. Good if you're there to sleep, but nothing more.

    Sleepless cubes

    The fact that one couldn't sleep due to the loud noises from: 1. each movement of the ppl around one does. The cube construction should manage movement without sounding as if the whole structure is about to collapse. 2. The locks on the cubes make a loud sound each time one is opening their locker or the cube. Being in a small space with 4 cubes and ppl inside ... the loud noises of the bed frames and lockers were unacceptable, and sleep was not included in the stay.

    Super clean, comfy bed, location was also great.

    I’ve stayed at several capsule hotels around the world and have usually loved the experience, but this one was quite disappointing. The room was uncomfortably hot at night, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the light from the common area seeped through the doors, which was disruptive. Having only one bathroom and shower for all guests felt inadequate, and to make matters worse, the bathroom doorknob broke off during my stay.”m

    The interior light keeps turning on when there is movement. No soundproof and you can literally here everyone moving around in their bed.
