Hygie Pod Hotel - Hostel

Such a terrible hotel. The pods are not as private as you would imagine. They’re not sound proof, so you can clearly hear someone watching netflix or even a couple chatting all night as if you’re in the same bunkbed as them. I enjoy the idea of pods, but this one is poorly executed. Never coming back to this place.

Lovely

I tried to check in and no one was responding. I stood in front of the door for 30 min before deciding to go somewhere else. Highly inconvenient and zero client service. I recommend going to the Alt Hostel just a few steps away if you are looking for great accommodations.

the cleanliness is disappointing, there is no privacy because the cabins have no doors, no respect for other tenants,

This “hotel” is a total scam that you should avoid at all cost. - The pods don’t close and you’re left with a curtain to have “some sort” of privacy. Because of that, it’s also extremely loud in the dorm. - There’s only one (dirty) bathroom and one (even dirtier) toilet for the entire floor (not the entire dorm. The ENTIRE floor). - The common area is absolutely depressing (not to say creepy), with amenities falling to pieces. It looks like a bunker in which they installed flashing leds, with a “lovely” view on a dirty yard being renovated. - The lockers are tiny, they don’t have a lock and - big surprise - do not match the amount of pods in the room. We couldn’t even have one for ourselves. - The place is accessible to anyone, and it is totally unsafe to leave your luggage there. No keys, no cards, no locks, just a code accessible to anyone in the building. - Oh, and the best part? It is extremely expensive. I wont even get started on the “staff”. Long story short, go there if you want to feel like you’re stuck in an episode of Squid Game and if you have money to throw out the window. We left the second night. This building should be closed. You’ll be WAY better off at a cheap hostel, do not finance this hole of a place.

The hostel is very dimly lit, and it was near impossible to find an attendant after checking in, but it was a great value in a great location, and I never felt unsafe

The location is IDEAL and the price was reasonable, but that is where the good things end. I only needed one night, so it was worth it, but the property is super creepy. You check in with a screen rather than a person. Eventually a person appeared, and tried to be helpful, but he didn't know anything about parking (use a pay lot) and dressed and acted more like the guy at 7/11 than a hotel clerk. The craziest thing about this guy is that because there is no check-in desk, he spends his time curled up in a chair in the back of the dark downstairs hall playing video games on his phone. The pods are in a dark basement with almost no ventilation. It smells musty and the halls and like b.o. in the pod room. There is 1 single-stall bathroom for all the pods. There is a kitchen with a fridge (which was nice), but the counters were sticky and the garbage was overflowing. I will say that the pods were clean and each pod was also provided with a nice locker. I didn't know to bring a lock, so the locker was useless for secure storage. Instead I left my bag in my pod when I went out. It turned out ok, but made me nervous. The pods do not lock and in fact don't even close. You just cover the opening with a pull-down shade. You can hear everyone else in the pod room (maybe ten pods?) and in the hall where it was loud until after midnight. This opening is the only ventilation in the pod, so it got hot at night. There is key code door, but it had to be propped for ventilation, so not secure.

Cheap… but noisy throughout the night with 10 pods to a room. Some guests left dirty pots, pans and dishes in the kitchen. By night, there were no towels left in the shower. Many times there was no one to assist in any way.
