Perfect cheap bed for the night after attending a night game of footy. Pod itself was very clean and reasonably comfortable. Little bit noisy with doors closing but couldn't hear talking etc. Bathroom area was just ok. Time we were there we didnt use shared kitchen facilities. Overall would definitely stay again if not anticipating spending time at the pod other than to sleep.

POD was quite hot as it was a very warm night and the fan did little to cool it down. If it was winter, I’m sure it would have been a lot more comfortable.

Pods weren’t entirely clean (there we some dried coffee stains on the wall in mine) and some minor wear and tear (some small holes in the mattress cover) but apart from that it was decently alright. Just prepare yourself for the kinds of people you will meet here, as one man was very very clearly drunk yet was still allowed to check in :/
