I was curious about the whole cube concept. I must say, the cube itself was okay. It's only purpose being to sleep in it. However, around it was also very tight with no place to stand up straight. Had to change in the shower.
I can see why people would book this as an alternative to hostels, but it's not for me.
Service is great, easy contact through e-mail and easy access with a 6 digit code. Thank you!
Noisy bedding. No property signage. Bathrooms and cube poorly designed. Absence of staff at location. Late check-in instructions sent via Whatsapp. Poor coordination.

it is the poor communication between customer service and the clients.
Lit capsule pratique pour une nuit en transit. A 5min à pied de la gare.
Accessible à toute heure avec les digicodes. Pas de bornes pour faire son Check in sur place. Il faut le faire en avance sur le site de l’hôtel en leur demandant d’envoyer le lien.
Endroit bruyant (route et autres personnes)
Capsule pas insonorisée. Prévoir des boules quies car elles ne sont pas fournies.
Unkompliziert, eifach, super bequemes Bett, aber der Lattenrost hat gequietscht. Man hat es gehört sobald sich einer im Bett gedreht hat oder aufgestanden ist.
Enregistrement folklorique, informations non reçues en temps et en heure même si transmises;
Code accès porte principale ne fonctionne que de manière aléatoire, à l'issue d'une temporisation variable plus ou moins longue.
