Ratings and reviews
5.0 / 10.0
Location: Not far from the main attractions, making it convenient for sightseeing.
Price: Good value for money compared to other accommodation options in the area.
Staff: Friendly and helpful, willing to assist when needed.
Capsule facilities: Only USB-A ports were available inside the capsule. There was no standard power socket, and the control panel was uncomfortable to use.
Storage locker: The locker was rather small and cheaply made. The back panel was coming loose, which made the electronic lock completely pointless and more of a decorative feature than actual security.
Renovation issues: It may have been an unfortunate timing, but the property was undergoing renovations during my stay. In the men’s bathroom, the ceiling was missing, there was no water in the sinks, and in the shower cabin a handheld bidet was installed instead of a proper shower head.

for a hostel it was alright
not ample luggage storage, its enough for one person’s backpack but if you’re traveling as a couple, expect one person to need to leave luggage unattended outside of the luggage locker or take it into the pod when you sleep
5.0 / 10.0
Cheap! Good value.
Probably unfair to criticise considering how basic the accommodation is intended to be, however pretty Spartan. You have a capsule, you have a shared bathroom. Didn’t feel all that clean in the toilets (male) and overall felt oddly seedy.

afforable stay for one night, fun experience overall
we were unlucky and fellow capsule users in our room were noisy all night long but that's expected when you are in a hostel, bathrooms didn't have proper ventilation so were a little stinky, but otherwise clean and convenient to use

The staff are very friendly
The toilet and shower were clean, except for a few strands of hair found on the pillow.
A few strands of hair were found on the pillow and slight movement inside the capsule will cause a noisy sound.
The location is good.

The concept is nice, but that is where it ends. The staff were nice and helpful.
The male bathrooms had 3 shabby showers, 2 toilets for the number of people staying in the property. Pretty dirty and unkept, and a big let down. The capsules are made of plastic and are very flimsy. I chose not to leave anything inside, as the locking mechanism was easy to break. The lockers are similar. No hostel atmosphere or common areas, just rooms and bathrooms. A bit of an odd experience. There are no electric sockets in the capsules, only USB. I would not return here.

The girls at the front desk were so lovely!!
I thought the place was clean and good facilities- shower etc
However, I did not sleep for the 7 days that I stayed here. The room the pods were located in were so noisy. I had ear plugs in and I was still woken up multiple times during the night. Nobody whispers here. People were shouting/talking loudly at 2am in the morning most nights. Lockers are so noisy and people getting in and out of the pods is so noisy. Really disappointing experience

This was a pleasant surprise as the capsules were really fancy! The washrooms were quite spacious and the toilets were automated. We checked in around 2AM and the process was so smooth! Ofcourse this is not for someone who is claustrophobic but otherwise this is a very nice experience! The location is amazing as you reach the centre by walking few minutes. Please note that there are stairs to reach this place.
The capsule we booked was for 2 people, so its quite cozy. Good for 2 small sized girls but not for 2 well built men :D They charged 4 Euros to store small backpacks, which I felt was pretty expensive as lot of hostels do that for free.

All of the staff as well as the guests there were particularly lovely. All the facilities are getting cleaned every so often which I was very pleased by.
I was missing a blanket or an extra cover of some kind. The thin sheet for covering up when sleeping was not enough for me. Also, I would love if the storage cabinet was bigger. The locker sized cabinet was not enough for us to store all of our belongings. Lastly, the bed mattress is rather thin, so sleeping was not the most comfortable.

Having a capsule is preferable to sleeping in an open dormitory, although there is almost zero sound insulation (I was woken up many times throughout the night, and I am typically a heavy sleeper). It was clean and the staff appeared to be doing the best with what they had. Reasonably priced for off-season.
Despite being a modern concept, the facilities, building, and environment in general felt dated, and the atmosphere was a little odd. Completing a photocopied paper form on arrival. No way to use the TV without wired headphones. Only one USB-C power outlet. Relatively thin foam mattress, a problem for side sleepers. Basic communal bathroom facilities. No doubt it's a grueling shift in difficult conditions for the staff, and I am always mindful of that, but they did not seem happy to be there, at all.

Loved this hostel, was so much more than I expected , really clean and saw cleaners coming round all the time, great showering facilities and locker cupboards, the staff were lovely and really helpful honestly I couldn’t really fault it
Some of the guests were noisy (the staff did their best to contain them and give out earplugs) and watsapped me about it which was thoughtful. This is to be expected for a hostel of course so no fault of good vibes. Just need to be realistic with expectations for people looking to book.
When I arrived my booking wasn’t showing on their system but was showing on booking.com system so a little disconnect there
The staff were really helpful and put my mind at ease to confirm I would have a place to stay

Bunks were private, clean, bed was comfy
Maybe could’ve been a bit more soundproof / a heavier blanket would’ve been nice

Good vibes in the hostel. The sleeping capsules are amazing, the showers are clean, the toilets are very modern with the remote controller to spray water and dry you off. It's close.to centre, 7-10 min walk and you are there!
Maybe an additional blanket in the capsule would be nice, because at night it got a bit too cold.

What about bathroom?

The lightning from the capsule was very nice. You could change it to any color and it just gives a nice touch to it!
The toilets where a bit small

As a huge germophobe, I'm claiming this place's cleanliness! We only stayed for one night, but would've stayed longer if we could.
It's clean, it's near the city center, the stuff is welcoming, the people visiting were very polite.
I was scared of getting claustrophobic, but it didn't felt that way at all. The capsules have good ventilation, look cool, it's like you're in a tent camping!
Anyway, friendly advice, if you are sensitive to even small sounds while sleeping, bring your ear buds.
Maybe I'm not used to the small wiggles when the people from the other capsules are moving, but that didn't happen too often to be a problem.

location excellent. staff very helpful. I suppose one thing is there's not really somewhere where you can comfortably "hang out in" in a communual way - just some tables at the reception area - but that''s a tiny thing really as I didnt spend much time there anyway as theres so much else to do in the area. just used it for sleeping.
The "pod's were a bit more flimsy than I thought they would have been (they are quite thin plastic) however, they are pretty cool and at the end of the day - it is what it is.

Great location, good value for price. Very kind people at the reception. Free wifi, free water and towels in each of the capsules. A cup of coffee for 2 euros. :)
A bit smaller sleeping capsules than expected (based on photos on website). Shower door impossible to close.
Too small lockers for 2 pcs of luggage, but free storage option at the reception, much appreciated. However, when we were leaving, the receptionist brought us wrong luggage. I had to explain I needed another bag, and only mine, not all three that she had brought. :D

Unusual experience like you are in the future
Mattress is a bit too thin and hard, so it makes your body hurt after a while

My stay was wonderful! I came from the airport just for the night and i wished i stayed longer! The pod room had a very original futuristic vibe, everything was clean and tidy. The staff is nice. Thank you! It's a 10/10 experience, Don't hesitate to book.

Very very hot in the capsule. Not ideal for dressing and undressing and is awkward getting in and out
9.0 / 10.0
The Staff are amazing and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The bed in the capital is comfortable and provides a fun futuristic atmosphere for the little ones. Location is great
You are sharing the space with other Capsules, hence there might be some noise.

fabulous futuristic hostel in a great location. a very comfortable stay and such lovely, chatty staff!
personally, i don’t think it being advertised as a hostel is the best description. it is somewhat in between a hotel and a hostel. not social at all, just somewhere to sleep. great if that’s all you need it for!

The staff and location
I stayed here so you don't have to!
I hate giving reviews like this but I also think it's a moral obligation to save your hard-earned money.
The capsules are very tiny and can feel claustrophobic. They appear much bigger in the photos due to photo angles.
They are also not soundproof. You can hear everything and it's really annoying.
The ventilation is really poor. I stayed there on a very warm night and it was really hot inside.
Its just a glorified plastic box, I would recommend you to stay away.
It was definitely not worth the money I paid for it.
3.0 / 10.0
Staff was very nice, location good.
Deceiving pictures on the website - the capsules are exactly that - boxes, small, just a bed in a a box. Cannot get a good sleep - the AC was blasting all night long and there is light which is entering in the capsules. Bad than a hostel - avoid this location.

isolation of sound quite poor
4.0 / 10.0
The location was good, the pods were nice and comfy, the bathrooms were clean.
Toilet bowls are a bit too close to the door so it's a bit tight inside the toilet stalls, but this is just a nitpick. My major feedback would be regarding the noise. There seem to be no quiet hours and since the pods have 0 sound isolation, we weren't able to get any sleep with a group of men acting very loud in the next room to us. They were banging on doors, yelling, screaming, busting music at 11 pm on a Saturday. It's ok, it's a hostel, I understand, but why not have quiet hours? I wish the staff asked the group to hang out in the lobby and not in the room where other people try to sleep. I don't think I would ever stay at a hostel again after this experience (We had no other choice this time as we weren't aware of the Malaga fair happening at the same time since we are from out of the country).

The place is very clean and staff is very kind and welcoming.
Capsules are not soundproof as advertised. We could hear snoring from another capsule, I strongly recommend to bring ear plugs with you.
