We found this much better than your average hostel and also quieter than we expected. We stayed in a private room rather than a pod, and found that to be very comfortable. Good location, well priced for what you get and decent amenities.

Overall the stay was amazing. Online check-in. Kitchen and shared places very clean. As feedback the pod weren't isolated at all and you could hear everything. But the bed was a good size. Bigger than expected.
