The concept is really cool, it's nice to have a bit of extra privacy in a dorm. The pods are quite big. Everything was really clean. Breakfast is basic - 3 pieces of toast with jam. But you also get unlimited tea and coffee, so for the price it's not bad. Staff were friendly and helpful.
It was a bit far out of town - about a 30-40 minute walk. Also I couldn't fit my bag even in the big lockers downstairs - they're quite narrow - so I just brought it up to the dorm with me as it didn't have anything valuable in it. The pods only have a USB charging point, which was a bit of a problem for me as my phone charger is usb-c or a full plug. Also, if you want the ventilation running in the pod while you sleep, you have to put your key card in the holder to activate the electrics, BUT this meant the switches for the lights inside the pods glowed really brightly all night, and kept waking me up. But without the ventilation I felt quite hot and slightly claustrophobic, so maybe that's something that could be changed.

The space is large and airy. Despite it being the weekend, it wasn’t crowded. (On Saturday, only 4/10 of the beds were occupied, and on Sunday, only 3/10.) I felt bad, as it seemed they might be running at a loss with so few customers compared to the number of staff. Privacy is well maintained, and it feels safe. The price is quite affordable.
It’s about a 15-minute walk to Imago Shopping Mall and around 35 minutes to downtown.

The bed is clean, the staff is very polite and helpful. They offer free breakfast and large locker . There is a lock on the bed door, you can put your valuables on the bed when outing.
1. No socket and type c charging port on the bed. 2. It makes a noise when sliding the bed door at night. 3. The button lights are so bright when inserting the room card. 4. When the bed door closed, the room light go through the gap into the space, which influences the sleep a lot.

Very nice staff, clean and comfortable accommodations. The free breakfast is a nice bonus as well. The bakery a few doors down is fantastic.
It would be nice if the capsules had electrical plugs, to recharge a laptop for example. They do have USB type rechargers though.

friendly staff. I have a deep sleep because the mattress is comfortable instead to the other version of the capsule that I tried before and affordable price with breakfast.
no hairdryer I'm not sure about asking about its time check-in and sad about the cafe running out all food might the food be too delicious

Really clean, quiet, lots of privacy, friendly staff, everything worked well
You have to walk a little bit to the center, but if you like walking it’s a really nice accommodation

Very friendly and flexible staff who helped me when I needed to check in early and check out late. Nice hotel in a cozy neighborhood where I enjoyed a few days to relax before leaving Malaysia after 9 weeks. Feel energized to go to my next destination.

Very comfortable place with capsule-type sleeping (hence the property's name). Staff was welcoming and helpful, and the property itself is clean and conveniently located.
