Really impressed with this capsule hotel. Everything is clean, neat, and thoughtfully maintained. The staff are super nice—friendly, patient, and always willing to help. The vibe is relaxed, the rooms are cozy, and the common areas make it easy to meet other travelers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.

Great place to stay at if you're looking for a place to sleep for the night only. I don't think I would recommend it if you're looking for a place to hang out at during the day. Having said that, as a solo female traveller, it felt safe having the 3rd floor exclusively for females. The capsule are well maintained and the amenities provided are just what you need to freshen up and be cozy.

Definitely could be more cleanly, especially the washrooms and the pods could use a little vacuum or scrub, but other than that was good and would go again (I went for a weekend, that is the longest I would stay)

Fun experience. Might be a little overwhelming at first. Staff was nice but the air conditioning in the capsules were not strong enough. It was warm and uncomfortable to sleep in.

Appreciated the friendly bilingual staff, ease of access to downtown and museum district, plentiful restaurants nearby, and good value for an inexpensive stay. Less keen on that the capsules overheated quickly (sweated all night, which combined with no beverages allowed —> dehydrated in the mornings), and only 3 bathrooms + 3 showers for 50+ capsules on first floor.

Building needs some TLC. Lots of broken minor things. Mostly due to using MDF for the pods so hinges/hooks broke. Bed wasn't changed until after I was checked for an hour. It was an OK experience. 3/5. Lots of amenities like the cold food storage lockers were broke or not properly reset. When I brought it up no one really cared to fix it though a dozen spaces had nothing in them but the GUI said "all lockers in use"

First things first I would love to shout out all the employees they were extremely welcoming and willing to assist at all times, truly a lovely bunch !!! My stay was great, I was beyond happy to find that the pictures are accurate to what the property looks like in real life ( minus a few scratches and general aging from the passing of time. I have a semi low rating for cleanliness simply due to the lack of man power to keep up with the demand.Getting more man power for the cleaning would be in my eyes a very worthwhile investment. I stayed in the mixed gender area and as a women I will say that I felt safe( people keep to themselves unless spoken to ). For the amenities you do have to pay for washing and drying which can add up if you do multiple loads. They have dry and cold lockers for your food that require a personalized password ( these are free to use ) . The capsules on the main level do run hot when the doors are closed the ac within the units didn’t really help much. Overall I’m happy with my stay and if anyone is looking for a central, affordable place to stay I would recommend.

I found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make sure guests didn’t get lost. Another advantage of the location is that it is quite close to the metro station. Although the residence does not provide breakfast, there is a Tim Hortons nearby, which makes up for it.

The place is good enough, well located and cool concept. All capsules are kind of in the same space, where in the rules says "belongings can not be left out your pod", but everyone did and that made the room smelly and not very good looking. The pod was clean and like the experience. For the right price I'd stay again.

Staff was very nice and helpful-especially with being bilingual! Pods themselves and storage area was kept well. If you are a light sleeper you can hear everything little thing, from your pod neighbor opening their doors, to lockers opening, main door opening and shutting, as well as noise from other above and below you. Bathrooms were tried to be maintained but multiple toilets clogged and tended to be dirty on toilets and water always on floor. There was a deep clean of bathrooms over night but unsure of the cleaning process during the day when dirty. Safe location- I had no problems as a female solo traveler.

I stayed here for one night mainly for the experience, and overall I enjoyed it. My capsule was very clean, and the goose down comforter was surprisingly comfortable. The pod has its own ventilation system, and you can control the air conditioning yourself, which made the stay very comfortable. The facilities are modern, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed. My only inconvenience was the parking situation. Public parking is not very affordable, costing around $33 or more for 10–12 hours, and there are not many nearby alternatives. Be very careful with street parking, as parking enforcement is active and they will make sure to ticket vehicles that are not parked according to the regulations. Other than that, it was a unique and enjoyable experience.

Supposed to be non-smoking yet there were people smocking o the 3rd floor which they have long term tenants! There is no locker on each floor to lock your stuff so you have to go up and down the stairs since there’s no elevator. There were clothes shoes, and peeps all stuff on the hallways by the locker area and on the 3rd and second floor which makes it very uncomfortable. The common area is clean and the kitchen dining area is clean however the fridge when we opened it smell . There was old food and not cleaned. Good for transient one night but not for more than that if you’re in a pickle. We had to leave and find a hotel. I won’t be back. Not for me. However , amazing staff!!

I was really looking forward to stay in this capsule hotel. The concept is great, the location was perfect, the look of the place is modern and inviting. Prices are reasonable and offers good value. However I was disappointed by the fact that there was no air conditioning inside the capsule. There was an air vent. You could control the quantity of air but not the temperature. So it was uncomfortably hot for me at least. I was also surprised that you could not lock the capsule from the inside. Common areas were nice and the staff was pleasant and helpful. More emphasis should be put on constant cleaning of washrooms, showers and common erea as this is a high volume operation. I would stay there again if the AC situation in the capsule is a possibility or at least a fan is added.

I want this idea to succeed, however this particular hotel is let down by various design oversights. Specifically: - Only one hook in the shower and no bench or other place to put dry clothes, etc. - A really bright blue light on the capsule ventilation system that stays on whenever the ventilation is on. Which makes it hard to sleep with the ventilation on. - Also even with the ventilation the capsule was too hot over night. - The magnetic lock on the door is basically for show, it takes very little effort to just push the door open. Needs to have at least a manual lock inside. Aside from that the staff were friendly, and I think this idea could be great. It just needs a better thought out design details.

Price can vary a lot. I hit Montreal on the last day of Formula 1 so it was very expensive. However with the price you pay for, the cleanliness could be improved. There was dust and bits along the edge of the mattress. Mattress was fairly thin. Staffs were helpful and you can tell the cleaning staffs were really trying to keep up the cleanliness of the sharing space. It was just too many people. Showers were too small. Some of things like bathroom door were broken over the time I stayed there (5 days) was never fixed. Lockers could be bigger. The key problem here is the capsule door. Although it looks like you need a key card to open it, actually all you need is a push, it would just open without the card. This leads to low security.

The location was great, safe, easy access to most things you'd want to get to including the train, and the bus from the airport stops a block away. The staff were friendly and tried to help with any issues I had. The facilities are nice, with amenities like a quiet room in the chill area and lockable food storage nooks. Some quirks - the doors to the small shower rooms open inwards making closing them potentially a challenge for you, (the shower itself is great). My locker was finicky any time I wanted to open or shut it, and the washers were busted while I was there, so I get the sense maintenance is a work in progress. Cleanliness varied a lot, as you'd expect in a hostel. The magnetic doors to the capsule do not lock, and the magnet to mine didn't keep the door closed, so I had to wedge my bag against it. You can sleep with your stuff, but put it in the lockers when you go out. The capsule lets most sound in, but everyone on my floor was respectful. The kitchen on the 2nd floor is busy in the morning, I'd suggest the third floor if you want quiet. The beds were a pretty bad issue for me: the mattress is really just a 5 inch thick matt on the wood, and you will feel that. The light from the ac control panel is bright, you'll want to find a way to cover it up, and the ac itself helps but is weak. In summary, if you can sleep on anything, (or like extra firm beds) I'd really go for it for unbeatable price and great location. If not, maybe spring for an actual bed.

Pros: Great location in downtown. Storage lockers that can fit a suitcase. Capsule has plugs for charging and ample lighting. There also is a small vent but I was incredibly hot with the minimal airflow. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Easy check in. Helped with finding directions and where to go. Cons: This is a new capsule hostel and for only being about 2 months old it is in terrible shape. Showers provided no room to dress or change except 2 bigger sized on the main floor. You get one tiny towel that is thin and about half the size of a regular towel. Capsule mattress is very hard. No change rooms. You have to change in your capsule or dress out in the open? Bathrooms are very small and dirty. Cleaning was poor and infrequent. I waited to use the bigger washroom that has a small shower and sink and the floor was poorly mopped, the sink was still dirty. Grime on walls and floors was a lot for a place this new. The kitchen on second floor had a clogged sink and people complained to me that it could not be fixed. Nowhere to wash their dishes. In the morning the lights to all the showers on the second floor didn’t work. I gather a breaker or some issue? But the staff didn’t seem to have a solution. people were showering with someone holding the door open to get some light. Second level capsules are challenging to climb in and out. Not suitable for all This place was slapped together cheaply and everything is already falling apart or broken. Cleaning is poor.

I like that the place is convenient, close to everything and affordable. Clean bathrooms and cozy capsules. I just didn’t like the mattress I was sleeping on, it’s so used up that i can almost feel the surface of the wood so i was a bit uncomfortable but I’m still satisfied overall. Will go back for sure!

Stayed during the Jazz Fest. It was actually excellent for what we needed! The pod itself was very clean and I didn't get claustrophobic at all; the bathrooms, hit or miss depending on when they cleaned it. Super nice staff! They loaned me a phone charger too. Would definitely stay again!
