I like the idea of the pod. Was my first time in an hostel. It was very clean, well maintained. I never had to fight for shower or bathroom. There was 8 pods for two showers and two bathroom. I liked that the showers had a door that lock from ceiling to floor. More privacy than just a shower curtains. I had a windows in my pod. As it is in a very busy street and area, a lot of noise until 3pm. But got used to it quickly. The worse noise was coming from other guests slamming their doors in the middle of the night (every time of the day really). Or speaking loudly at night, even using hair dryer past midnight... it's an hostel after all. You can't expect other guests to be considerate for other guests. Overall, if you are on a budget, I would recommend COEO pod hostel. Location is good, safe, clean and well maintain.
