If you are solo traveller & want to be on cheap budget, this would be a good place to experience this. I don’t mind the single pod bed & amenities that come with this. I wouldn’t recommend for big families or big groups of people to do this. It is convenient that it’s close by to the Richmond Centre & Transit. Overall, not bad experience!

Great location, just a walk from the Richmond-Brighouse station. Love that it’s 24h check-in. Lots of locker space. Felt very secure, and I slept well in my pod even though it’s small! Clean bathroom as well.
