THE AMADEUS - tram station to the OPERA 2 mins away

Worst hostel stay I've had. Someone started smoking in a capsule during the night. I'm allergic to smoke, and after that I couldn't sleep at all.

For the money, it was a good deal, especially if all you need is somewhere to sleep. Check-in was easy, and they let us leave our luggage before the official time. The pod, common areas, washrooms and toilets were clean, though the pillows seemed dusty. Noise is the main issue. The pods aren't soundproof, so voices carry between them, and I could hear people walking outside. At night there was a lot of creaking from other pods, and even ours creaked when we tried to adjust the light or something. I'd bring noise-cancelling headphones. If you need a quiet place to sleep, I wouldn't recommend it.

The capsules give you nice privacy when you're sleeping, and I used the TV's Netflix without any trouble. The sinks, showers and bathroom stalls were nice too. The place is very small, with no common space at all, so it won't suit you if that's what you want from a hostel. The capsules are decent, but figuring out the lights is extremely convoluted. Some of the buttons also have bright lights around them that you can't switch off.

The capsules give you a lot of privacy, which I appreciated, and they're equipped with USB ports, regular outlets, a TV and provided headphones. The mattress is very firm and a little uncomfortable, but it was fine for a night or two. Keep in mind, though, that the pods aren't soundproof. Outside light gets in, and you can hear everything going on around you. This is a very cool-looking hostel, close to the main train station, and it worked well for my one-night stop before an early flight. Check-in and checkout were super easy, and you can still use a locker until 6 pm after checkout. Everything was clean, including the shared showers, toilets and washbasins. I'd recommend it for one night and for the cool pod experience.
