Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel
"Problems with the QR code upon arrival. Overall it took about 45 mins to sort out the problem, which was less than ideal. However, the pod was good - good AC, and quiet. Shared bathrooms and showers were clean."

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
"The room was adequate but the bin was still full in the bathroom from the previous occupier and the sink tap temperature control was broken. The corridors are reminiscent of a boiler room and the room numbering does make navigation a challenge. Don't stay here if you are planning to get very drunk ..."
