Poor Locks

The locks at the capsule hostel just don’t work. Even if you have a hostel lock, if you twist hard enough the lock will unlatch. It makes it really hard to trust your things are safe. I could also not lock my capsule at night.

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!

Got to the location early and was prepared to pay to have my luggage stored for a while but the nice gentleman at reception checked me in immediately which was really kind of him! And proceeded to talk on the purpose of my stay which was for work and he lent me a padlock for my pod, amazing experience from the beginning. The pod was fantastic, very spacious and had a fan in there too

Perfect location, but this place is actually call Piccadilly hostel at the building, not what we read on orbitz, besides that, they do provide a bath towel, not no towel on hotel info, the door of capsule do not lock unless you bring a lock, it woudl be more helpful if those info is included on booking. Besides once a finish the online check in before arrival, I did drop some msg to the host/staff, none of them got reply, on that, it’s better to jus shut down that part or give us an email to reach the hotel.

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.

I am aware of the construction works presently going on, therefore am trying to be as fair as possible. Also, this is my first time in experiencing sleeping in a pod/capsule. 1 star deducted for comfort as the doors do not close quietly (I do get that they are fire doors and need to close quickly, however something to dampen the noise would be helpful). Also, regarding bathroom facilities, it seems difficult for us men in particular to be able to have a shave due to the lack of a small washbasin. Perhaps this could be rectified as the construction works progress? The full marks for eco friendliness are for being able to adjust the brightness of the light using the rotary dimmer control switch, and the PIS sensors for the lavatory cubicles enables the light to only come on when somebody enters. For those who would like to walk down the stairs rather than waiting for the lift, there could be better signage other than the mandatory fire exit signs due to the design of the staircase. My own personal belief is that when the construction works are finally completed, that the signage will be in place. The staff are friendly and help you with the online check in process and the activation of the keycard if need be.

Awful experience. The photos/description didn’t prepare me for how Cramped & Noisy it was. Even at such a low price it’s not worth it.

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.
