Stay was okay, but you have to keep your luggage in luggage/storage room provided inside the hostel.Limited parking in front of the Hostel and you have to pay for parking if its parked outside the free parking hours.

The pods were amazing. Having your own little quiet space was just the best. They are spacious and so comfortable- I had a single and had space to store some clothing items. There are coat racks and a good storage space. It is kept clean and is lovely and welcoming. The bathroom Facilities are very modern and it’s about 12 toilet/ shower rooms. There are 2 lounge areas - kitchen and at the back of the hostel and the outdoor area is also lovely. The kitchen facilities are great too and everyone did their bit to keep it tidy. Would recommend and would stay there again

The pod hotel idea is cool, and the pods are quite cozy and nice. However, there were a lot of very loud rude people in the pods around me coming in and out after midnight. It's very loud in the bottom pod when someone is disrespectfully stomping up their steps and opening and closing their door all the time. I got very little sleep.

Well thought out. Our first experience with capsule sleep pod. Comfortable, safe, quiet. Well organized system for checking & well equipped kitchen.

I agree it's a pretty fun and unique place to stay at. However, you'll be lucky if you get the upper bed. I was given the lower bed and I couldn't trust the quality of the pods enough when the person on top kept moving around. Much worse creaking sounds than normal bunked beds. The pods are made of plastic that felt so unstable. Don't expect the pods to cancel out the noises because it doesn't. I can hear so clearly the people around me snoring. The mattress are kind of thin but honestly wasn't too much of a problem for me as I don't like soft bed. Rarely did I see any staffs in person. You'd have to ring a doorbell to get into contact with them. The locker rooms are kind of beaten up. One thing I do like however, is that there are a good amount of restroom/shower rooms.

Our stay was not up to the excitement I had when I first booked this hostel. The idea of it is great. However I believe management is lacking in some regards. First we were concerned that we would not be able to make the drive(due to road closure) however talking to management on the phone, we were told roads would open up and if they do, we would not get a refund. So we drove, 10 hours, through very difficult conditions to say the least. Once we arrived at 11pm. We did self check in, to find our pod was dirty. After calling management, we got another pod. We were hoping to shower but the towels were locked and were for rent of 1000Kr each, so we couldn’t. The first night we realized that only one vent in the pod worked. So we became extremely hot inside the pod. We asked for ANOTHER pod, towels, and laundry. We were able to get another pod for the rest of our stay. However be warned, the two vents are extremely small and it still can became hot, not as bad as the first night. We’re able to get towels for free from management thankfully. We found out that the kitchen and laundry were closed due to renovations, we were not aware of this at booking. Luckily we were able to go to the hostel across the street that allowed us to do laundry there. Also the TV did not work for us in both pods we were in, we tried multiple different tries to use chrome cast and the movies download on the TV. But neither worked. I hope these concerns are brought up in the future, has great potential.
