I was curious about the whole cube concept. I must say, the cube itself was okay. It's only purpose being to sleep in it. However, around it was also very tight with no place to stand up straight. Had to change in the shower. I can see why people would book this as an alternative to hostels, but it's not for me. Service is great, easy contact through e-mail and easy access with a 6 digit code. Thank you!

Schone capsule en sanitair. Wel een unit met een krakend bed. Op loopafstand van het station en in tegenstelling met hotels etc. betaalbaar.

Nuit en transit

Lit capsule pratique pour une nuit en transit. A 5min à pied de la gare. Accessible à toute heure avec les digicodes. Pas de bornes pour faire son Check in sur place. Il faut le faire en avance sur le site de l’hôtel en leur demandant d’envoyer le lien. Endroit bruyant (route et autres personnes) Capsule pas insonorisée. Prévoir des boules quies car elles ne sont pas fournies.

カプセルなので広さはしょうがないとはいえ，比較的清潔で共有スペースも広く，宿泊者もインターナショナルで交流するのが楽しかったです。シャワールームにボディーソープがあると良いですね…騒音も意外と気になりませんでした…物価が高いスイスに観光に来る人達なので身なりの良い人がほとんどです…ホテルがあまりにも高額なのでこの料金で一泊できて助かりました。

Enregistrement folklo

Enregistrement folklorique, informations non reçues en temps et en heure même si transmises; Code accès porte principale ne fonctionne que de manière aléatoire, à l'issue d'une temporisation variable plus ou moins longue. Les Sociétés adjacentes ignorent la présence d'un hôtel à cet endroit.
