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.
