The Pod Sydney

Capsule hotel

👍👍 We had a lovely stay in the pod. The location is very central, a 20 minute walk to the opera house and right in the CBD. The people in reception couldn't have been more helpful. The rooms were clean and warm, with towers and shampoo provided. It was my second time here and I would stay again.
