It’s a capsule — just a place to sleep for the night, so you shouldn’t expect much more. However, as a capsule, it was very clean, the ventilation worked perfectly, and the noise level was totally fine for me. There were plenty of toilets, all very clean, and during my stay, I never had to wait — there was always one available. Its exactly like the pictures.

The service was great - from the security on the door to the members of staff in reception and the cleaning staff - everyone was friendly and helpful. The facilities were mixed - the reception area is certainly sparse; there are a couple of sofas and a vending machine - not somewhere you would really want to hang out for any period of time and certainly not a great space to socialise... fortunately, being Piccadilly, there are other places close by. Even McDonald's in Leicester Square was more inviting (they do a good porridge for breakfast there) The bathrooms were plentiful and functional, alas the towel you get is rather thin and small, especially if you are there on a multi-day stay. The rules are comprehensive, though not always followed, especially around noise levels. I was in a lower capsule the first night and the person above did make a lot of noise, resulting in not a lot of sleep happening... One other thing to note is the entry point for the capsule hotel - at the moment there is work being done, so what may eventually be the main entrance is not accessible, hopefully soon - so you need to go down the side of the building, and do not go to the Zedwell Hotel, where they have much larger rooms, but no capsules/cocoons... One other thing to note in you cocoon is that to give you fresh air, there is an extractor fan, above your head, and it is quite noisy... some people who slept with it off, left the end shutter open a bit to get more air. The other thing you will need is a padlock, if you want to leave things in the cocoon whilst you are out, as there is no other secure storage (though you can leave bags with reception) Overall, for the cost, it is a great place to stay, very central and certainly reasonably comfortable... and I will probably stay again - though for the same price, I may well choose a hostel as there is more opportunity to socialise.
