Staff was super helpful and nice, place isn’t the cleanest and kind of run down but it’s cheap and the staff are great. If it was cleaner I would have given it 5 stars. For the price I can’t complain. And I never
Really impressed with this capsule hotel. Everything is clean, neat, and thoughtfully maintained. The staff are super nice—friendly, patient, and always willing to help. The vibe is relaxed, the rooms are cozy, and the common areas make it easy to meet other travelers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.
Definitely could be more cleanly, especially the washrooms and the pods could use a little vacuum or scrub, but other than that was good and would go again (I went for a weekend, that is the longest I would stay)
Great place to stay at if you're looking for a place to sleep for the night only. I don't think I would recommend it if you're looking for a place to hang out at during the day. Having said that, as a solo female traveller, it felt safe having the 3rd floor exclusively for females. The capsule are well maintained and the amenities provided are just what you need to freshen up and be cozy.
Great location near Peel and Guy/ Concordia
Affordable
Clean
Meet lots of new people and most people are very friendly
Cafe machine invites is ideal
Laundry self serve is simple
AC could be improved
The staff was very fliendry and my pod was quite comfortable. I got sick the first few days and was with a broken foot and they were very accommodating..
Great location. Staff was very helpful.
In my review it lost some points for cleanliness and maintenance.

Fun experience. Might be a little overwhelming at first. Staff was nice but the air conditioning in the capsules were not strong enough. It was warm and uncomfortable to sleep in.

Appreciated the friendly bilingual staff, ease of access to downtown and museum district, plentiful restaurants nearby, and good value for an inexpensive stay.
Less keen on that the capsules overheated quickly (sweated all night, which combined with no beverages allowed —> dehydrated in the mornings), and only 3 bathrooms + 3 showers for 50+ capsules on first floor.
I found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make sure guests didn’t get lost. Another advantage of the location is that it is quite close to the metro station. Although the residence does not provide breakfast, there is a Tim Hortons nearby, which makes up for it.

Building needs some TLC. Lots of broken minor things. Mostly due to using MDF for the pods so hinges/hooks broke. Bed wasn't changed until after I was checked for an hour. It was an OK experience. 3/5. Lots of amenities like the cold food storage lockers were broke or not properly reset. When I brought it up no one really cared to fix it though a dozen spaces had nothing in them but the GUI said "all lockers in use"
The place is good enough, well located and cool concept.
All capsules are kind of in the same space, where in the rules says "belongings can not be left out your pod", but everyone did and that made the room smelly and not very good looking.
The pod was clean and like the experience. For the right price I'd stay again.
First things first I would love to shout out all the employees they were extremely welcoming and willing to assist at all times, truly a lovely bunch !!! My stay was great, I was beyond happy to find that the pictures are accurate to what the property looks like in real life ( minus a few scratches and general aging from the passing of time. I have a semi low rating for cleanliness simply due to the lack of man power to keep up with the demand.Getting more man power for the cleaning would be in my eyes a very worthwhile investment. I stayed in the mixed gender area and as a women I will say that I felt safe( people keep to themselves unless spoken to ). For the amenities you do have to pay for washing and drying which can add up if you do multiple loads. They have dry and cold lockers for your food that require a personalized password ( these are free to use ) . The capsules on the main level do run hot when the doors are closed the ac within the units didn’t really help much. Overall I’m happy with my stay and if anyone is looking for a central, affordable place to stay I would recommend.
The staff were really great! Friendly, kind and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to help and accommodate.
It’s very conveniently located in the city. Close by to everything downtown, we went for Olivia Rodrigo Concert and it was a 9 minute walk. Lots of restaurants nearby as well that were open 24/7. Try Joes Paninis you won’t be disappointed!
They have storage for your luggage as long as it’s not too big, mine fit which was great! You just tap your card! The stairs to the women’s floor can be quite exhausting to go up and down.
If you can request a bottom bunk.. the stairs are really uncomfortable to climb up, the rail isn’t he eat and I felt unsafe going up and down them ESPECIALLY at night. It was very hard to find my footing. It was nice that the pods locked though so your belongings were safe.
The only other thing I didn’t like about the accommodation was the mattress. I have stayed in probably 10 hostels both in Canada and across Europe and this was by far the worst mattress I have ever slept on. With it being on top of wood, if you’re a side sleeper beware. All I could feel was my hip on wood. My girlfriend and I actually ended up leaving 1 night early and getting a hotel because it was too hard on her back and she woke up in excruciating pain from the mattress itself.
If you’re super young and nimble you’ll be fine but anything over 25 beware

Staff was very nice and helpful-especially with being bilingual! Pods themselves and storage area was kept well. If you are a light sleeper you can hear everything little thing, from your pod neighbor opening their doors, to lockers opening, main door opening and shutting, as well as noise from other above and below you. Bathrooms were tried to be maintained but multiple toilets clogged and tended to be dirty on toilets and water always on floor. There was a deep clean of bathrooms over night but unsure of the cleaning process during the day when dirty. Safe location- I had no problems as a female solo traveler.
I stayed here for one night mainly for the experience, and overall I enjoyed it. My capsule was very clean, and the goose down comforter was surprisingly comfortable. The pod has its own ventilation system, and you can control the air conditioning yourself, which made the stay very comfortable. The facilities are modern, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed.
My only inconvenience was the parking situation. Public parking is not very affordable, costing around $33 or more for 10–12 hours, and there are not many nearby alternatives. Be very careful with street parking, as parking enforcement is active and they will make sure to ticket vehicles that are not parked according to the regulations. Other than that, it was a unique and enjoyable experience.

Supposed to be non-smoking yet there were people smocking o the 3rd floor which they have long term tenants! There is no locker on each floor to lock your stuff so you have to go up and down the stairs since there’s no elevator. There were clothes shoes, and peeps all stuff on the hallways by the locker area and on the 3rd and second floor which makes it very uncomfortable. The common area is clean and the kitchen dining area is clean however the fridge when we opened it smell . There was old food and not cleaned. Good for transient one night but not for more than that if you’re in a pickle. We had to leave and find a hotel. I won’t be back. Not for me. However , amazing staff!!

I was really looking forward to stay in this capsule hotel. The concept is great, the location was perfect, the look of the place is modern and inviting. Prices are reasonable and offers good value.
However I was disappointed by the fact that there was no air conditioning inside the capsule. There was an air vent. You could control the quantity of air but not the temperature. So it was uncomfortably hot for me at least. I was also surprised that you could not lock the capsule from the inside.
Common areas were nice and the staff was pleasant and helpful. More emphasis should be put on constant cleaning of washrooms, showers and common erea as this is a high volume operation.
I would stay there again if the AC situation in the capsule is a possibility or at least a fan is added.
I want this idea to succeed, however this particular hotel is let down by various design oversights. Specifically:
- Only one hook in the shower and no bench or other place to put dry clothes, etc.
- A really bright blue light on the capsule ventilation system that stays on whenever the ventilation is on. Which makes it hard to sleep with the ventilation on.
- Also even with the ventilation the capsule was too hot over night.
- The magnetic lock on the door is basically for show, it takes very little effort to just push the door open. Needs to have at least a manual lock inside.
Aside from that the staff were friendly, and I think this idea could be great. It just needs a better thought out design details.
Price can vary a lot. I hit Montreal on the last day of Formula 1 so it was very expensive.
However with the price you pay for, the cleanliness could be improved. There was dust and bits along the edge of the mattress.
Mattress was fairly thin.
Staffs were helpful and you can tell the cleaning staffs were really trying to keep up the cleanliness of the sharing space. It was just too many people.
Showers were too small.
Some of things like bathroom door were broken over the time I stayed there (5 days) was never fixed.
Lockers could be bigger.
The key problem here is the capsule door. Although it looks like you need a key card to open it, actually all you need is a push, it would just open without the card. This leads to low security.

The concept is excellent; but, the delivery needs improvement. For after only three months open it does not have regular maintenance. Toilet paper holders down in more than one bathroom. Housekeeping for the general area is poor, but the Capsules were good and clean. AC was not working on the ground level( and the staff were aware of this). One has to assume management would have known. Hallway floors were dirty everywhere. Three of the bathrooms were out of order( a staff maintenance person could have fixed these). Tv' in rooms were not working ( or there were no instructions for use- my Capsule remote needed batteries). A large TV in the common area would have been wonderful. One of the charging plugs in the common area was not working.
Having said all this in hoping these will be addressed I still enjoyed three nights. Restaurant choices nearby are excellent, and there is a grocery store nearby.
Really appreciated the STAFF!
