and a tiny fridge for one !! ... Therefore 'one bottle' per person staying there. Don't expect to leave more than this. Also on the day the toilet paper ran out and who knows where there is more until the cleaner arrives. If that was someone helping themselves to a roll meant for every one - who knows.

Several showers are available instead of only providing one. As the beds are in pods there is a separate area to chill and eat and use wi-fi. Plus kettle, microwave...

Pods were somehow smaller than expected, although fit 2 bigger people fine. Noise proofing definitely lacking but earplugs are provided for free. The pods definitely get very hot during the night and the provided fan did not work with the USB part of the plug socket inside the pod. Pods next to loud overground line which can be gotten used to but its a shock at first. Price is a bit more than I'd like personally due to faults but it is London so it's hard to properly complain.

The facilities were spot on with a computer, microwave, sink, fridge, multiple bathrooms and showers plus free towels/ soap. The aesthetic is unlike most hotels and feels very hand built which is interesting and I find feels nicer. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Decent location near multiple bus routes and shops. Vending machine in the communal area.

Not ideal if you’re claustrophobic, spaces are a bit tight. Still a very good option for few days if you’re travelling solo. Just a few minutes walk to and from Hackney Central, so not too far from the city centre v.

the USB port in my pod wasn't working, I contacted staff and they said they'd send someone the day after to sort it. That would've been after I checked out so wasn't helpful at all. it meant I couldnt charge my phone and power bank in the pod so had to hang around for longer than wanted in the morning to charge up in the communal area.

great value, the coffee machine/communal area was great!! pods were comfy, showers were great! would 100% stay again.

A naked man (guest) walked through the shared space, absolutely disgusted, this is not the fault of the accommodation, assuming there are cameras in the open shared space I would expect him to be reprimanded.

Clean and compact with ample amenities

Coffin like sleep space is just not for me. Locking of sleep space was difficult from inside (7 - lock not properly aligned) and impossible from outside. Sleep space light very temperamental. I've stayed in pod hotels before with a larger sleep spaces and been comfortable. This was just too small..

Incredibly low price for a London stay. Communal area.

Stayed in April 2024

The hotel advertised a double bed pods, but it's a single one.

Well located, close to tube station (Hackney Downs ad Hackney Central).

Stayed in April 2024

Lack of air and ventilation system in the pod.

Very smart idea of splitting the pods.

Stayed in January 2024

There was no breakfast provided, so I went down to Hackney Downs overground station, and had breakfast at the cafeteria there which was very pleasant. There was an electric fan provided hanging from the ceiling, but this did not work. I had the appropriate electric adapter to make it work, but it did not work, so you better get this fixed before its gets too hot for summer. Pod no. 12. In addition you could provide some additional hooks in the shower room for hanging clothes. Further you should inform customers in advance that they should bring a padlock, as this is required for hiding the suitcases or carrier bags.

U can hear others in their pods getting in and out and phone alarms going, but all pretty quiet and expected. Would recommend ear plugs. Also pod gets warm so don't bring think PJs! I was also confused by the strict check in times so I came early to check in before going out again, but I actually didn't need to as it was self check in so could have at any time.

Great option for a budget stay. Mattress was comfort and everything was very clean and modern. Good location.

Stayed in April 2024

First two nights very quiet but last night there was a bit noisy in the communal space so it was difficult to sleep.

It is what is says on the tin

Staff were accommodating to the fact I arrived very late at night, and provided quick assistance to ensure I could enter when I arrived. The Pods were also nice and warm.

pod9 fan wasn't working bit of a chore with pod access and egress

Good location easy access good facilities

Stayed in April 2024

The location is quite remote from all interesting points in London.

The facilities are clean, well equipped and organized. Privacy is very well respected since it's a Pod hotel, I like the idea of regulating the entrance after 9 p.m. although it's not ideal for people who like to explore the city at night or arriving late from a flight. Big plus: You get clean towels, blankets and ear plugs so you can have a pleasant stay.

Location is bit desserted

Value for money

It gets a bit hot in one of those pods

Location is good and the facilities are very clean. Plenty of showers. No fuss

You are sleeping in a wooden box. If you are expecting luxury here then go to a hotel.. if you require somewhere to put your head for the night at a very good price you'll be fine.

Booking.com let me downwind code to get in.. I rang the number on the front door and the fella on the phone sorted it straight away.. Nice and secure building with 2 key codes. Lift to the 2nd floor. Great kitchen dining area. Nice toilets and showers, both could have been a bit bigger but organise yourself and you'll be fine.. Fast WiFi..

You now need to pay for a padlock for the lockers (or bring your own) which is a little annoying. Good value stay but the prices are creeping up and any more than 40/50 quid and you'd be better finding a proper hotel. Warm.

Decent value stay in good location. Clean and pretty quiet/comfortable.

Socket in pod didn't work (pod 13) so unable to charge phone or use the fan. Does get quite warm at night.

Great location. Bed reasonably comfortable.

Good noise insulation, comfortable sleeping arrangements and nicely clean and spacious bathroom.

The pod did get quite warm and the fan wasn’t working.

Convenience of self checkin, great location, good value for money, clean facilities, comfy bed!

Stayed in March 2024

The smell of the newly painted wooden boards is too strong. And there was a piece of chewed gum in my pod

The mattress was surprisingly comfortable and the noise of the overground wasn’t bad at all

Stayed in March 2024

Area is a little shady. Pods might be a challenge if you're tall. Can hear people snoring - but this is a hostel! No real issues.

Great budget option. Close to Hackney Downs train station and Hackney Central is 5mins walk away.

Stayed in March 2024

The sleep pod was very warm at night but as you only sleep there it's not that big of a deal.

Was very easy to come and go as you like and the check-in went smoothly. Very good communication from the staff beforehand led to an easy stay. The showers and restroom were in very good condition and clean. A very pleasant stay for a good price!
