Clean, comfortable, quiet and private rooms. Central in Launceston. If you just need an affordable place to rest, relax and sleep while spending most of your time exploring Launceston and its surroundings, I recommend staying in the Pod Inn.

I booked through a third party, so I missed the information about arrival times. Fortunately, another member of the tour I was on was staying there and knew where to look for access keys. Thank goodness for the staff who left me a key despite my mistake. It was my first pod experience. All the usual hostel experience, but with your own bed space. The location is great and makes it easy to walk around the area.

Pods themselves were nice and clean. Bathrooms were not super clean and the showers were only luke warm with poor pressure. Lockers were quite small too.

Cooking facilities were limited to basic s, toaster, kettle, air fryer, egg cooker, and microwave. No oven facility. Sleeping pods were clean and well equipped. Communal area was conducive to catching up with fellow travellers or just relaxing

Bit of a 'funky' smell in the pod section. It would be great to have some nilodor or similar to reduce the odour. Great access to adjacent noodle bar. Very central location. Easy on street parking after hours.

My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.
