Space Q Capsule Hotel

Let's be clear: this just is a hostel where the dorms have stacks of 'capsules' (plastic boxes) instead of bunkbeds. Never again! Capsules - No bed base so you're sleeping on a thin mattress on a hard floor - Thin walls let in lots of light and sound - Ventilation fan is noisy and ineffective. I ended up leaving my door half open all night - I'm 5'9" and with my head against one wall I could touch the other end with my toes. - Minimal storage. Other than the safe there was only one small shelf, which fit a water bottle, a phone and a pair of glasses - "Latest technology" = two power points, two USB ports and a bunch of lights. (One was broken.) - *Terrible* pillow! - Rooms are cluttered because the lockers barely fit a carry-on and you have to pay extra for the 'oversize' lockers outside the room (assuming any are available) "Kitchen" - An alcove with a bench, stovetop, sink and some small appliances - No washing-up liquid, tea-towels or paper towels - One blunt knife and limited utensils or crockery - Dining space = the far side of the bench and a couple of stools under a wall shelf Bathrooms - Men's & women's are on alternate floors - No vanities or mirrors, just a tiny sink in each stall - Everything was cracked, sagging or uneven - Plenty of mold Building: entire place felt like a rushed renovation job. Floors were noticeably uneven, lift seemed built from packing crates and the entry hall smelt faintly of mold.

Unique experience. Never again.

Lift was out of order my capsule was broken and I was given no top sheet. Bed was itchy and I am concerned there may be bed bugs present, and pillow was absolutely disgusting. Bed was pretty firm, but that is not the worst thing in the world. Staff were friendly but limited staffed hours meant I couldn't ask anyone for help when I realized the issues were happening. Overall I likely would recommend just going to a reputable hostel rather than this place, the capsule schtick isn't really worth the mediocre amenities and dodgy beds.

My capcell room itself was what I expected. Something I did not expect was some parts were broken. The pictures in the website looked clean and new but it was actually not. A shower room was terrible - not clean at all and water pressure is very weak. (I don't know female one) There was a common kitchen but a fridge there stinked badly and was so messy. The room in which my capcell was located was not tidy at all. I really do not know what kind of guests had been staying there but some of them seemed to "live" there for a long period time. I highly DO NOT RECOMMENDED to use this place unless other accommodations around the city are VERY VERY expensive.

dirty, hot, smelly.

Clean and well priced

Bathrooms were completely unacceptable. Mould on walls and walls peeling off. Had to shower in public swimming pools

Avoid at all cost, this place is filthy. The stench is horrible, feels like a homeless shelter. Booked 4 nights but left after 2 nights, Took many pictures and managed to prove to expedia that the place was unacceptable for unsanitary reasons…

Pretty average and nothing to rave about, the tv inside the capsule didn’t work and neither did the mini safe so couldn’t store any valuables. The shower and toilets had black mould growing on the silicon around the hand basins. Very small stalls to the point when I sat down my knees were touching the door and my feet were sticking out under the door. Reception wasn’t very knowledgeable about Sydney as I asked how to get to the Olympic park, Showgrounds and she had no idea what I was taking about let alone how to get there. Not impressed and will not be going back again.

I'm giving it two stars, One for the concept of a private, quiet and inexpensive stay at a central location, and one star for the helpful, diligent but overworked staff. Everything else was TERRIBLE!!! The toilets and showers were filthy, cramped and insufficient. The plumbing was terrible and the tapware was rusty, loose and dirty. The floors and walls were moldy. The sound insulation between the capsules was missing which means you could not get a good night's sleep. The mattress was too thin.

Small bathroom facilities. Mouldy grout and around sink. Noisy No security. Was informed by other long term guests which have stayed 2 weeks that they have seems immigrants living there Uber eat bikes on the 3rd floor showing illegal workers. Unsanitary kitchen- long term staying, fridges full, sink dirty. Rice cookers, slow pots Asked a person whether the water from the kitchen sink was are to drink and could not speak English. Dusty capsules - in door slide and in the ceiling lights

Location was good close to railway and trams

The areas are not in good conditions, common areas were too messy every time, bathrooms and showers unclean, very bad experience.

The communal toilets need an overhaul. Been the same for years and not clean

I stayed in the Space Q for 2 nights, knowing full well that for the price it was not going to be a luxury experience. What I didn't expect though was the filthy state that the toilets and showers were in. All 3 toilets were leaking, not cleaned, paper missing etc. The showers were very dirty as well, with leftover bars of soap and underwear strewn everywhere on the floor! There was no soap in the dispenser in the shower I used. Good thing I took my own bar of soap. The capsules have an incredibly thin mattress. I did not expect a lot, however I struggled to sleep given the mattress was so uncomfortable, as was the tiny pillow. There is no top sheet on the mattress, only a base sheet, and there are not blankets. It was 30 degrees in Sydney and once it cooled down, it was actually cold during the night. There is a fan in the capsule, but no heating. I resorted to sleeping in my clothes the second night as I was so cold. Never again.

Booked for 3 night, so noisy, dirty and uncomfortable.. toilets and showers were disgusting, the idea of capsules was cool, just this place was done totally wrong, had to rebook another hotel half way through the first night A tent in the local park would have been better

Reasonable price. Perfect location near Chinatown and transport. Service NEW Just near next to it. Staff can look after ur luggage as well after checked out or before check in. Not super quiet but what can u ask for this price. Great for solo Trip in Sydney CBD

The area was dirty and it smells

Unfortunately due to a flight delay, i missed the staffed reception hours and had no way of checking in or accessing to property, and had to book accommodation elsewhere. There was no information avaliable to get help from the team managing the hostel. Very disappointing and upsetting.

The place is run down, I felt uncomfortable being there since I was by myself. No locks on the showers, was just a glass sliding door and the shower flooded. I had to get changed in the toilet. Dodgy people were there.
