Cheap and pleasant enough.. great location.
I had 5 nights here, for £145, I cant complain too much. They're private little pods, sleep 4. I was on my own. Could be a tight fit for 4 like. Own shower and toilet is the benefit here. Freeview tv. A/C. However the fire alarm went off at 11:45pm the first night, this is warned in the room, so someone woke us all up. Smelt fowsty, maybe the room hadn't been used. Also not sure on the 'enhanced cleaning', when there was still visible cobwebs lol. Compared to Thorpe Shark Hotel which is identical... the upkeep of theirs is way better. In general, it was okay :) Central-ish location in Cornwall, enough amenities near by in St Austell. ID is required on check in! I slept fine anyway, par from night 1. Would I come again? Possibly.

A sad ending for a great place
It's a superb idea, a number of small "pods" with everything you need for a short stay while visiting the Eden Project. And the YHA staff are absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, they are stopping working with the people who run the pods because they aren't looking after the place very well, and they're closing at the end of October 2020. Our toilet/shower door was stuck and required brute force to move it. Also, the TVs have not been working for some time, something we only discovered on arrival. All that said, it was only £29 for the night and we got a comfortable sleep. Hopefully new owners will take it over next year, because we've stayed there before and it's such a great idea.

The staff and setting were great. Everything was as you woukd expect from a YHA accomadation. I enjoyed the experiance of staying in a shipping container. I only have one negative , i feel that if the window in the door was a port hole ( that could be opened) the air circulation woukd have better suited me.

Strange
Never stayed in a YHA before and don't think it is for me, strange sleeping in a pod portaloo with toilet, smelly, joined on with other pods, bed moves when people walk past your pod on the flooring outside. Room and outside look nothing like the photo on this site, need updating. Need more than one receptionist, waited in the queue 35 mins just to get a drink, as lots of people were checking in, be good if the person making the pizzas could serve drinks too at the other window. Good thing was the location on site for the Eden Project.
