I honestly can’t say enough good things about Podtel! From the moment I arrived, everything just clicked. The staff was so friendly and helpful—they made me feel welcome right away and gave me great tips on things to do in Waikiki. The lounge were amazing; I spent hours there just relaxing, enjoying the breeze, and chatting with other guests. It had such a chill, community vibe without being overwhelming. But what I really appreciated was that when I needed some alone time, my pod was like a little sanctuary. It was quiet, super clean, and incredibly comfortable. The climate control was a lifesaver, and I loved having my own little charging station and personal light. The bathrooms were spotless, and it was clear they were cleaned multiple times a day. Plus, knowing that the place is eco-friendly made me feel even better about staying there. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the social and private aspects of travel, but Podtel did exactly that. I’m already planning my next trip back!

I visited Podtel recently and it was quite comfortable and easy to navigate. My check-in was fast and the staff was friendly and helpful with my queries. I liked a number of things about the place such as the cleanliness of the pods, the calm atmosphere, and the location. The air conditioning and more importantly, the kitchen’s amenities, were also nice. Overall, my experience at Podtel was positive. I will say that the wifi could definitely be faster. Still, I would recommend Podtel to solo travelers or anyone on a budget who is looking for comfortable and affordable accommodation.

As someone who travels extensively for work, I'm always searching for accommodations that balance productivity with comfort, and Podtel exceeded my expectations. The standout feature has to be their lightning-fast Wi-Fi connection, which easily handled video calls and large file uploads without a hitch. The sleeping pods are thoughtfully designed with privacy in mind. Each pod comes equipped with individual power outlets, reading lights, and enough space to comfortably work on a laptop. The sound-dampening features meant I could focus during the day and rest peacefully at night. Location-wise, it's ideal. The property sits within walking distance of major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. During my breaks, I could easily step out to grab a coffee or explore local sites. The surrounding area feels safe and well-maintained. The shared facilities are kept immaculately clean, and the communal spaces are well-designed for both work and relaxation. The staff were professional and responsive, always available to help with any requests. For business travelers or digital nomads seeking a productive environment without breaking the bank, this place is a gem. I'm already planning my next stay

ow, proof I should try out Podtel! First of all, it was spotless and super modern. Like I always say, I cannot deal with dirty places, and this met my requirements. The vibe was super cozy chic and it had an Instagram-able aesthetic without trying too hard. The best part was, of course, the climate-controlled pods. It was amazing. You know that feeling when a place is too cold or too hot? That was not the case here. I kept my pod at a comfortable temperature which allowed me to sleep like I was in a cloud all night. It was so good!.And let's not even get into the pricing. When booking a location, what do you think about the set price? The final amount is often shocking having multiple fees tacked into the final bill. Things like, “Oh, here’s a random resort fee you didn’t know about!” Unforeseen expenses often get the best of guests. However, with Podtel? That's not an issue here. The quote Podtel gives them was the precise amount that was charged and it made my experience so much smoother because I didn’t have to worry about hidden fees. And what about the place's geographical location? Oh my what. Lets just say that my legs would be frozen because the distance from the place I stay and Waikiki beach is not more than a few steps. To make things even better, upon waking up from my sleep in the beautiful pod, I would literally just feel like strolling on the beach. Of course I did meet a few interesting people in the shared spaces but on the other hand if I ever wanted some alone time, I felt like my pod was the ultimate solution. It felt so liberating. I honestly do wish I could say the same when talking about my last visit, but alas, my flight was booked and I had no chance but to wrap things up. As much as it breaks my heart to say it, Podtel You has all the love. If you are thinking about booking, stop wondering and give it a go.

I don't know where to start with Podtel! On my arrival, everything just seemed to flow effortlessly, I was in new territory having been in the country for only 2 weeks. All individuals I met were very nice and supportive. I was welcomed like a prime visitor right from the start . My attention were drawn to the lounges which were fantastic. I was able sit there for hours feeling the comfort with ease. I enjoyed resting, enjoyed and the breeze. I like the environment because It was quiet with super hygiene. Also, the pod had climate control, which was a lifesaver.

Podtel was exactly what I needed for my solo trip to Waikiki. I was a little unsure about staying in a capsule hotel at first, but the experience totally changed my mind. The pods were private, cozy, and surprisingly spacious—I had enough room to stretch out, store my things, and still feel like I had my own little personal retreat. Everything was super clean, and you could tell the staff really cared about keeping the place tidy. I met some awesome people in the common areas; it was easy to strike up conversations in the lounge without feeling overwhelmed. But what I loved most was how I could still retreat into my pod when I needed quiet time. It’s the perfect mix of social and private. And being just steps from Waikiki Beach? That was the cherry on top. I could hit the beach in the morning, come back for a nap in my pod, and head out again in the evening. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Honolulu!

Podtel is the ideal option for tourists seeking comfort without going over budget because it provides a distinctive fusion of luxury and economy.

For those looking for a high-end experience at a reasonable cost, Podtel is a true hidden gem. It's a great option for both business and solitary adventure visitors. The money was well worth it! 💯

My experience at Podtel in Waikiki bundled with my expectations! The modern capsule hotel is a great option for travelers seeking comfort at a modern smart price. The compact sleeping pods are comfortable and feature packed. Privacy screens, charging ports, and cozy bedding made my area quite the sanctuary. The shared spaces were clean, well maintained, and designed to foster interaction between fellow travelers which added a fun social aspect to my trip. I also appreciate how the designed the shared spaces. The location is perfect, it is right in the center of Waikiki and just a couple minutes walk to the beach. I enjoyed taking morning strolls to soak in the sunrise or even diving into hawaii sunsets in the evenings. There are also a number of restaurants, shops, and attractions to visit in the area too. The staff at Podtel were definitely at the top of their game. They were semi-available and had great knowledge around the area making my stay much easier as they also helped me plan out activities and places to visit.
