The Capsule Hotel

Only complaint is that it is very hard to find as it is on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors and a tiny sign that doesn’t stand out in any way. Oh and the elevator is absolutely the slowest elevator of all time. Apparently bc it’s old it’s considered “heritage” and so they can’t do much to it- including making it any faster than ~5 or so minutes to get to any floor. Overall, clean, well kept, and comfortable

Overall a good hotel. Excellent location and very clean. Kitchen is poorly equipped - one spoon, 2 glasses, 2 cheap plastic bowls. There didn’t seem to be much hot water in the evening sometimes. I would stay here again as it’s very cheap and well located. There is a comfortable lobby area and pretty decent wifi. Lots of showers and toilets plus laundry room.

Between a hostel and a hotel. You cant beat this location or the very reasonable price. I was there two weeks for work The center of CBD. I brought a camping air matress and some ear plugs and I was set for comfort. Also a container for shower supply to and fro. Locks on lockers not sturdy, but at night there are three locked doors between me and the outside. So pretty safe. A little kitchen and supermarket across the street ideal to keep food budget reasonable. Most of all, the trio that are at the front desk are super nice people as is the kind and thorough housekeeper. A few (presumably) homeless women did make their way in to wash cloths or use the bathroom and/or sit in the lobby, but they were not a problem at all and I appreciate the managements graciousness to care for a few of the community locals in this way. Loved the Dart Bar in the same building and all of the options gor food across the street. Walked everywhere. The Rocks, Chinatown, Darlinghurst all spinni g around this central point. Huge shopping if its your thing. Hyde Park to the Botanical Gardens were an outstanding part of daily routine. Take the 333 at Museum T Station right to Bondi Beach. Central station just down the road a bit and you can really get anywhere with an Opal card. The public transportation system is world class.I came here as I transition to retirement and it was a perfect stay as I retraced my pension to travel the road less traveled since I was a kid. Highly recommend.

Great location with transportation, restaurants and grocery nearby. Pods were clean and kitchen had the necessities.

I had heard about capsule hotels from an event attendee years ago and wanted to try out as something different, and different it is. As my partner pointed out, and because I mentioned it was very plastic-y and therefore very noisy when you get in and out, it kind of looks like a portaloo on its side. Pros. Super cheap place to stay. Communal kitchen really nice, and has tea and coffee, microwave and big glass fridges. Level 3 had the kitchen, compact lounge/dining area and 16 capsule dorm. I found most guests were considerate of others, keeping noise down etc. suprisingly quite on Fri and Sat nights even though a bar on floor below and Works Square outside. Capsule adequate size, nice cosy duvet and pillow. Cons

Great location and good capsule, however bathrooms need some serious work. One shower had the knob broken off so the shower could not be turned on. The next shower I moved to had clumps of hair around the drain and walls. The bathroom area had a general pee smell and needs more cleaning, as well as mats as it is just wet tile outside the shower areas.

Only recommend if you want the minimum. Its a shame because if it was in its prime it would be an amazing place but here are the cons. Dont rely on the lockers if you are travelling with expensive stuff it doesn't take much pull to break the lock off, thats not to much of a worry because the lockers are around other people. In your locker they have nice bedding and a towel but the towel is like 4 bucks to use and to use thier washing machine and dryer its 4 bucks but you need cash for them. On the website it says the capsule comes with a safe and it does but they dont know the combination to them. The capsules them selfs arnt too bad... For me anyway the mattress is sorta thin im 80ish kg and i felt the floor a little bit. The capsules are made of plastic so there is duct tape somewhere placed in the capsule. It is somewhat sound proof the only things i heard was the outside and people either sneezing or coughing i didnt hear snoring so it isnt to bad. Overall there is dust everywhere you cant see eg on the shower head in on the capsule roof grooves. The capsule do have vents but they are noisy on full blast but they do help though i wouldn't like to use a capsule during summer i went during October and it wasn't that bad. Have to leave shoes outside or in locker so dont take expensive shoes.alright now the shower it isnt well ventilated if you go in after someone else its going to be humid there is only a window with a small gap.

No real privacy. You can everything from the other capsules. It's loud like in a normal dorm. Can't lock the Capsule itself. The safe did not work they are just for show.

Check-in/out was simple. Staff were friendly. Spiral staircase up 4-5 levels, or a very long wait for an ancient, but functioning lift. The capsules are made of flimsy plastic that make unfathomable amounts of noise at the slightest human movement during the night. Pillow and doona were comfy, mattress was marginally too thin, but tolerable. Bathrooms were adequate but probably really do need a refresh. At the end of the day the shower was warm and with good pressure, so can’t complain too much. As always at shared room accommodation like this, your quality of sleep hinges on the respectfulness and common courtesy of your roommates. One of mine woke up at 4am and extremely loudly and uncaringly packed her back for an entire hour - plastic rummaging, throwing piles of food containers into bags, zips open/closed. Despite her disrespect, I have tried to provide an honest review of the hotel, even though that really tainted my night’s sleep. For the price, worth rolling the dice on decent roommates at this well situated hotel!

Great affordable option to stay in Sydney. The hostel is super well positioned in the city - nearby to 2 metro stations within 7-10 minutes walk. The hostel has a basic kitchen - no cooking stoves but microwave, fridge for food storage. The capsules are fairly comfortable. It is nice that you can close the capsule door, it has a light and ventilators built in. The capsules are not sound proof so you can hear the neighbors but overall it gives you privacy, good and clean place to sleep, great location and sufficient amenities within the budget.

I had a great stay in the capsule hotel. The capsule itself was very comfortable, with the built-in fan and shelf and hooks and charging PowerPoint. The shared facilities like the kitchen and bathrooms were very efficient and comfortable too. The building is iconic! And the messages around the building from the Staff are also iconic. All in all I thoroughly recommend this friendly and clean hotel.

This property is located right in CBD. It’s very clean and clients are quiet. I was given a top bunk and staff easily changed me to a lower bunk next day. Disco night on Friday downstairs was a bit noisy.

It smelled bad.

Room and toilets were clean and the staff were friendly and professional

The bathrooms are disgusting. The wooden surrounds of the doorframe are literally rotting away and are mouldy. There is no grout in between the shower tiles. The windows and in the shower are disgraceful and caked with I don’t know what. The window frames are mouldy and rotting away. Missing tiles. Paint is peeling off in chunks of the ceiling and holes have been terribly patched. The bathrooms are so poorly maintained that they cannot possibly be kept hygienically clean. They appear clean but when looking closer they are filthy. The non-working tv latch in my capsule was broken so it hung down constantly. strip lighting in behind the mirror was falling off and when plugging something into the usb it turned the mirror lighting on and off. Only half of the other lights in the capsule worked. visible duct tape holding the door and entry of the capsule together. The stair to capsule did not pull out like the other capsules so it was extremely difficult to get in to the pod. They gave me (5 for tall) a top capsule and locker, the locker is up so high I could not reach the hangers on the hanger rail and couldn’t even reach the back of the locker. plastic wall of the capsule are so thing the sunshine could be seen through the plastic- as I was on an end capsule next to the window and although they had curtains up the ones directly behind the capsule were not closed so they did not keep out the light of a morning- capsule was what was keeping the light out of the room.

there are no locks on the individual capsules a very large cockroach

Always a great stay at the capsule Hotel, i Live 2 hours out of the CBD and works out great if i want to catch up with mates and go out drinking, 5 mins walk from Town Hall Station, walk to everything including markets, little Japan with great food, lots of great bars within walking distance, also has a great little Japanese dart bar with Kiren on tap! The bathroom etc is shared but always clean, bedding and capsules clean, if your heading out in the CBD cant get anything more central for the money, cant recommend enough

As hostels go, pretty expensive for what you get - a box. Obviosuly if you’re going to be out exploring and you just need a bed - then it’s okay. Room was freezing but then inside the “capsule” when the blind is down it’s very hot and the fan does not work well at all. Felt relatively clean although closer inspection there were stains on the duvet and pillow. I saw a baby cockroach in the bathroom but at least just one. Great location in the centre. Loud at night as it’s in the same place as a bar/ darts club. Bed was comfy to be fair. Small drawer under the bed to store luggage - not easily accessible when you’re needing to grab stuff from your bag.

I was pleasantly surprised. It was very clean and quiet. No frills or thrills. Cost effective. I would recommend if you’re on a budget. Great location!

Overall was good, the property was clean and quiet. Worth price for short stay. My AC was noise that only one thing annoys me while sleeping. Recommend this place for who needs a rest while waiting for a flight.

Close to everything in the heart of the city. Only thing is the capsules are what seems to be mould injected or pressed plastic and feel ver flimsy and make all kinds of creaking noises when getting in and out of them. Other than that, all other amenities are good.

The dorms were clean, quiet and very tidy. Lockers a good size. Bathrooms quite old and damaged tiles etc. Overall quite a pleasant surprise for the price, however the mattress was so thin it was quite uncomfortable to try to sleep on. Ive had neck pain since. If my mattress had have been a bit thicker and comfortable, I would stay again.

Overall it was great value and a good experience. I booked the deluxe pod with side opening which offered a lot more space and privacy because you are surrounded by fewer people on each side. The location is perfect if you want to be central - there are shops and restaurants galore right outside. Although it's on such a busy street, the capsules do block a lot of noise so I was able to rest and sleep easily each night. All the other guests in my dorm were respectful and quiet. Everything is kept very clean, but some parts of the hotel could use some updating or maintanence (like the level 3 showers). My days of backpacking are long behind me so this was a great option to have somewhere with privacy but without the expense of a standard hotel.

Just the rooms with beds stifflingly warm. Fan’s in capsule had no effect. I enjoyed 3 night stay as Staff & everything else 10/10. But this asked about AC so not good as result.

Perfectly fine place to stay. In the heart of the CBD so lots going on. Capsules provide some privacy. They are quite cheeky and loud, and the mattress a bit thin. Overall it’s fine. Would stay again.

the capsules are made of paper thin plastic. Every movement/sound made in the capsule you’re connected to shakes and makes very loud noises in your capsule making sleep harder than if you were just in a normal bunk. It’s a cool concept and all it would take is a little more investment/design improvement in the actual capsules to execute but unless you’re okay with risking very little sleep I wouldn’t recommend

The capsule I was in was broken. Clearly terrible maintenance. I couldn't lock my capsule and I felt completely vulnerable.

The pods are actually much bigger and spacious than expected so wouldn't worry if you're concerned about feeling cramped. It's a great concept however the pods are quite run down and don't feel very sturdy, when someone gets into one on the same block as you the whole thing shakes and the doors are very loud. My door also had tape on it which didn't give a great impression of sturdiness! However all other facilities are decent a great location

Apart from the capsule being a little thin (can hear noises outside), the accommodation was tidy and comfortable. Excellent staff service and located right at next to Sydney Town Hall. Highly recommended.

No reception at night is too bad and dangerous also inside room there is not any camera(CCTV) provided for safety as there are no lock for Capsouls.

スタッフの方の対応がとても優しくて嬉しかったです。予約しなければもらえないアメニティーを無料で特別にいただけました。涙が出るかも思いました。また施設内もとても綺麗で、シャワーの出もよかったです。また、扉もオートロックであり、防犯関係もしっかりしているので、女性の宿泊者も安心です。南京錠などを持ってくれば、棚をロッカーとして使えるので盗難防止もできます。1万円以上支払ってホテルに泊まるよりも、7000円くらいでカプセルホテルに泊まる方が断然お得です。おすすめします！

The concept was cool but the delivery failed. The cheap plastic pods were broken and you risked slicing your hand open where they'd tried to duct tape it back together. Everything creaked so there was no way to do anything quietly with respect to the other guests in the room. You were expected to store your towel in the cupboard with your belongings where it was damp and there was evidence of mould. The window was left wide open (and too high for me to close) so got all of the street noise and bad weather noises. The fire exit with a sign which clearly said to not keep open, was propped open the whole time with a plastic sign. Communication from the staff was very average. You get what you pay for and this place was cheap. It's also in a realy central location, convenient for getting around, and the pods were fairly clean. No side table, no working screen as pictures may suggest.

服務態度一般，衛生一般，

Pods don’t lock, lockers don’t lock Multiple people tried to break in during the night Stuff was stolen Told management & they said “I don’t care”

It’s a cool place to go to especially if you are traveling on your own. The location is also great walking distance to most of everything in Sydney

I would stay here again as it’s very cheap and well located. There is a comfortable lobby area and pretty decent wifi. Lots of showers and toilets plus laundry room.

My Deluxe Single was very spacious and comfortable. My one critique is you have to climb all the way into the capsule pod just to access the touch panel and key card slot to turn on the power. It was very inconvenient, especially when the whole the room was dark. I would suggest the panel be installed right next to the door. The hotel's location is perfect. Close to many restaurants, shops, public transit stations, and site seeing attractions. It was well worth staying here for the price and convenience.

Very hard to find not clear on maps small signo after hours help

Was a bit hard to find first but overall good
