"The room I was in was clean & I love that there were some nights where there was free dinners. The free dinners were the best part. Also, having towels that were decently priced and not overly expensive was a huge plus. You'll need to bring your own soap and washcloth though. 8/10 for me."

"The staff was very kind and friendly but there was a lot of confusion and lack of organization. There were also no towels for rent at the desk as the website said there would be and the toilet in the all female dorm was broken (not a huge deal as there was another restroom outside the room but still not ideal). The rooms themselves were clean and the beds were normal hostel beds. Definitely worth the $20/night but not much more than that."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Wouldn’t have previously considered staying at a concept like this, but booked as hotel prices were very expensive for my travel dates. I was pleasantly surprised. You do have to use the QR code on your phone to move about the building too often in my opinion but that said, it’s very secure. The location is unbeatable for the price and I would absolutely stay again."
