Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are basic — The hotel scores lower on facilities, so expect minimal extras beyond the essentials.
- Comfort may be hit or miss — While most find the capsules comfortable, the comfort rating is the second lowest, suggesting some variability.
- Showers on a different floor — One reviewer noted that the showers are located on another floor, which can be inconvenient.
- Late check-out window — Check-out is from 01:00 to 10:00, which is unusually late and may require planning if you have an early flight.
