Started out with a 3 day reservation and was comfortable enough to add on 7 more days. On site staff was friendly and the cleaning crew did a fine job of keeping the facilities clean. They could add a lot of value by adding a social room and coin-op laundry units.

Was a bit tricky to find as the map linked to the regular hotel not the capsule hostel. At the time, there was a lot of work going on with the building (did not disturb us), but lifts were available as alternative to the stairs.

You need you add a photo of the "dorms" so that people understand that by saying 'private bedroom' it is really in a form with dozens of other pods. That isn't really clear from the listing.

Area is perfect for central London and safe during the day but at night durning the summer was a little dangerous so be careful. There was a murder down the street and a friend of ours almost got robbed. The place is clean however the capsule has a gate door to open in close in your capsule that was a little hard to open so I decided not to stay there but I did check it to see if I could and I really not for me to stay in A capsule but it was clean and AC worked great. They had shower and toilet share with men and woman. They told me to leave my bag in-front of the door of my bed I thought there was a closet for bags but no they don’t.

The minimalist “cocoon” concept of this place is interesting and the cost of staying here is significantly less than hotels. BUT the cocoon you sleep in isn’t much bigger than a coffin and the entire place is like a giant “Petri Dish”. They would have to go thru much more extensive cleaning and disinfecting their cocoons and restrooms to be safe … and even then, all it takes is one person with respiratory ailment or cold to spread it to scores of others. I NEVER get sick yet, after only one night there, the next day my nose started running and I was sneezing, coughing, and blowing my nose for a week. I had paid for 9 nights but only stayed 2 nights and went to a hotel to get air conditioning, sleep, & get better. I asked Zed for a refund of some of the nights I didn’t stay there but it was nonrefundable (so beware of that too.) Speaking of air conditioning, I got the impression Zedwell Cocoon was supposed to have separate air controls … in reality, it only had an on/off switch for a light and a fan that did not make it cooler. It was hot, humid, and sweaty in that Cocoon … you have to decide which is more important, leaving your Cocoon door open (hoping to get some cooler air but not feeling safe as you sleep) or close your door for safety and sweating (all while breathing in the germs from the last 10 people in that Cocoon & bathrooms). Conclusion is it was MISERABLE, I didn’t get any sleep either night, and I caught a nasty illness because I stayed there. Never again!
