Zedwell Capsule Hotel Piccadilly Circus

Clean comfortable pods. Toilets and showers were quite far away, and the majority of stalls were 'out of order'. £5 rental charge for towel.

Location is amazing , literally spitting distance from Piccadilly Circus, so very convenient if you need to travel on the Underground. It is pretty much like sharing one gigantic room in a hostel but sleeping in a private enclosed bed rather than a bunk bed, with strangers in the room. It felt like I was sleeping in a storage facility, with all the shutters and padlocks! Not one for people who feel easily claustrophobic or the very tall. I am 168cm and when sat on mattress my head almost touched the ceiling. There are 2 hooks for hanging bags. No storage space in capsule, people leave shoes and suitcases outside their capsule. There's a little ledge where you can place a few things and there's the power socket. There's an extractor fan but it may be too loud to sleep with it on. Temperature was comfortable, but I suspect it could get stuffy and warm in the summer. Self check-in and check-out was easy. There were a lot of toilets and shower cubicles ( with a small changing area inside each one ) in the shared facilities but a fair few shower cubicles were out of order during my stay. They include a hand towel but charge for bath towel rental and if you don't bring your own padlock, you can buy one off them. This was perfect as I just needed somewhere clean, convenient to sleep for a few hours after an evening event nearby.

The concept was clean well maintained, quite and very comfortable

Pod was nice and clean, mattress was comfortable and plenty of room for me as a 6ft 3 male. But the pod door wouldn’t lock from the outside. There are no lockers to put your things in and so to store a suitcase is very expensive at £15 per day when the room rate for the pods is already pretty high compared to a hostel where lockers would be provided, so not really good for long stays or travellers with big suitcases. I just my carry on suitcase inside my pod to sleep so it didn't get stolen. It smelled of pee in the corridors before going into the pod area. The basement level is literally a building site even though the elevator (which are extremely slow) lets you go down there for some reason. For the facilities they have here its very expensive

Great stay, pods were clean and everyone was quiet and respectful 10/10 would recommend and stay again.
