I stayed for one night in the pods. Didn’t arrived until 10pm and most pods were already occupied and the room was quiet. The pod itself was clean and well equipped and felt big enough, mattress was comfy and the room a comfortable temperature. Much more private than a room of bunk beds. Slept well. The shower and loos were just outside the door - a series of individual cubicles with a loo and shower in each- clean and the shower was ok- fixed height / push button. Amazing value and location.
