I've had better sleeps in economy class long haul flights. The bloke who lives there was bashing and crashing and talking loudly in the kitchen until 1am, five metres from the pods. Zero consideration for paying guests. The light in the pod room is on all night, shining straight through the cheap shade you get instead of a door. The cheap, thin, foam mattress feels like you're lying on the hard pod frame. The pods make a racket any time someone moves, and you can hear other guests snoring. None conducive to sleep. If you're over 6'1 you won't be able to stretch out fully. I wouldn't stay there again for free.

The room was very ordinary. Lack of blankets so I had put all my clothes on and was still freezing all night. And on top of that people making noises until 3AM. Even with ear plugs I only slept a couple of hours. Towel had a stain and was torn . No tiolet paper. Never again

The room itself was as advertised and fine. But being by the front door it was so LOUD. Everytime someone used the door the beeping of the door lock and slamming of the door woke us up. Not to mention the loud occupants who spoke on the phone and in the hallways at 11:00pm, 2:30am , then again at 4:30am. Do not recommend

This is a very basic place, so don’t expect much and bring a padlock for your gear as this is an unsafe area. I had a problem with my pod breaking and I was injured and the staff were not interested in putting things right. If you book here don’t expect much for your money!

Liked friendly and welcoming staff, cleanliness, free coffee tea and bread. Comfortable bed and communal areas. Only think to be improved is that I wasnt in receipt of the code to get in when I arrived. I didnt have a sim card so couldnt phone. I went away and emailed Frank to get it and then went back. Ideally an automatic email and text giving these details, before check out time would have been good. Overall this is my favourite accommodation place in Melbourne.
