Central and Quiet Capsule Stay

central locationquiet atmosphereinadequate ventilation

The location is very central. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere, especially for being in the city center. Female-only bathrooms and the designated female floor provided a good option for a solo female traveler. I found the facilities quite clean.

The ventilation in the capsule was inadequate. It did not blow fresh air and the corridors felt hot. This made sleeping difficult despite it not being during a heatwave.

great locationclean podsufficient bathroompoor showerwater issueinaction management

The location is great, a big plus. it sits right in the heart of the theatre district. the metro is also conveniently close. It is just a minute away. pods are clean, and bathrooms have plenty of toilets and washing spots.

The showers weren't good. you have to keep pressing a button. water only comes out for about five seconds. It is hard to shower properly. there was no cold water available . the hotel management knew about the issue but seemingly didn't take action.

The location is superb. It is close to many attractions (I visited a few museums). The pod had all the essentials, a comfortable bed, USB outlets, and air conditioning. The bathrooms were always clean when I used them.

Sometimes a long queue of people waited (it was a bit annoying).

low water pressurefluctuating temperature

The showers were a bit of a disaster, you know. I mean, the water pressure was so low, I barely rinsed the shampoo from my hair. The whole experience seemed like standing under a leaky faucet, it was a joke. And don't even get me started on the temperature, it fluctuated more than my mood swings, it was either ice cold or scalding hot, with no in-between. This made it difficult to enjoy what should have been a simple and relaxing task.
