I’ve stayed in various types of capsule and cabin type hotels in Japan, so I’m always curious when something similar is offered in the US. There were a few quirks but overall I had no problems/issues during my stay (fortunately there was nobody else in my shared room so it felt like a private room). Location was also ideal and I felt it was good value compared to a hotel if you’re travelling solo and want to stay in downtown Boston.

Great place with great staff. I can’t speak much on the amenities so I’d say disregard my opinion on that area but overall the rest was great. When you check in they offer a lock to lock away your items if need be. During my stay I was unfortunately faced with someone who decided to overstay their welcome and I had to be reassigned to a new pod. In the new pod it appeared the controls weren’t working which I can’t blame the staff as things like this happen (Especially if the prior stayer did not bring it up to their attention) so I had to be reassigned to a new pod and during this time the staff were extremely nice and flexible with the situations and pod changes. I can as well say that they appeared to have fixed the switches by the next day(Not Confirmed). The bathrooms were extremely clean with plenty of towels to use.

Cleary, I thought I was renting a room into my heart. I rented a bed. Share bathrooms were filthy. Breakfast accommodations with black coffee and some minor donuts. Nothing else. Even though I bought protection for cancellation, I tried to get a refund to leave for my second night management wouldn’t let me get a refund. I had to leave. It was horrible.

They have a 24/7 front desk. I came in at 2AM and the man at the desk, Jake, was very helpful & reassured my worries as it was my first time at a hostel. I was very surprised by how clean the private & communal bathrooms were, and

No laundry. Elevator was broken which for travellers who may be carrying heavy luggage, might not be ideal

Good location, Staff was friendly and at least for my stay the guests were fairly respectful in the shared sleeping spaces. The place seemed clean, but worn for a relatively new place. I wasn't expecting a 5-star hotel for a US "Pod" hotel stay, but there were damaged walls, damaged fixtures. Prior guests seem to have applied contact paper on windows to block out the light. The elevator broke after the first night of a 3 night stay. It was the weekend I understand but with a 6th floor bed, that's a lot of stepping!

Very happy with my stay. I had to extend my trip by a night and by the time it came to extend, this was one of the only affordable options nearby so I booked it. In the future this will be where I look first in the area because the price was right, I felt safe the entirety of my stay and my belongings were secure (which were my concerns staying at a hostel). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and everything was clean and very comfortable! Thank you for my stay at your location!

The guy working there, Scott I think, was excellent. Very helpful.

Wonderful staff ! You can tell the owners go out of their way to make your stay a nice stay every time. Great location, I’ve always found it clean & I always sleep great on the bed. Unfortunately sometimes other guests lack respect & may cause loud noises. I even had my curtain opened, multiple nights by the same woman. Of course that’s not the fault of the property; but unfortunately it’s a potential to interrupt your sleep. I will stay again.

A beautiful, convenient, affordable place, especially for someone just in transit between airports.
