Pod Inn

“Good for an overnighter”

I had to overnight in Launceston, leaving early the next morning. Thought the Pod Inn proved just about perfect for my needs, starting with the very reasonable tariff.

I had to overnight in Launceston, leaving early the next morning. Thought the Pod Inn proved just about perfect for my needs, starting with the very reasonable tariff. It was my first stay in a pod and possibly won't be my last, though I think staying more than two days would test the friendship. My sleep quality was great but I could imagine things could get a bit claustrophobic after a couple of nights. Otherwise, check-in was good, everything well explained. Pod itself was lockable, comfy, roomy for one and I loved the lighting options. Noise wasn't a problem, though maybe I was lucky on that count. The kitchen was clean if a little small while the common room/dining area more spacious. Common bathroom was clean when I visited but could imagine it becoming pretty grungy. The showers were really good, though. Towels supplied but not soap (or shampoo etc).

Pros - Walkable to most major sites. - Short walking distance to groceries, restaurants, and stores - Has a restaurant beside/attached to (?) the hostel - Pods are private and spacious (and I'm a big guy!) Bed was cozy too! - Lights and air conditioning adjustable inside the pods - Place has wifi - Has a charging station for phones inside the pods - Common area has kitchen Cons - Reception is only open during business hours, so might be difficult to contact anyone outside those hours - Luggage locker is outside - Pods not too soundproof Over all I never thought I'd love staying at a pod hotel and I'm very happy that I had a wonderful experience with Pod Inn Launceston!

“Übernachtung in der Zeitmaschine!”

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, was das Parken ein wenig erschwert. Es gibt im Parkhaus nebenan (Beschreibung dorthin gibt's an der Rezeption) die Möglichkeit kostengünstig zu parken.

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, was das Parken ein wenig erschwert. Es gibt im Parkhaus nebenan (Beschreibung dorthin gibt's an der Rezeption) die Möglichkeit kostengünstig zu parken. Allerdings sollte man das Auto dann auch stehen lassen und nicht wie auf einem Parkplatz die ganze Zeit benutzen. Also lieber Launceston zu Fuß erkunden;) Das Hotel war sehr sauber aber auch seeeeehr leise. Was ansich ja nicht schlecht ist. Jedoch gab es keine Musik, keine Stimmung. Jeder war mit seinem Laptop für sich im "Warte-/Aufenthaltsraum". Um neue Leute kennen zu lernen würde ich ein anderes Hostel empfehlen. Das schlafen in der Kapsel war eine neue Erfahrung für uns. Wir hatten eine 2Personen Kapsel und keinerlei Platzangst. Die Kapseln sind jedoch sehr hellhörig. Man hört die Türen und vorallem die Schließfächer. Diese befinden sich direkt daneben und machen bei jedem öffnen nervige Töne. Die Küche war super sauber. Es gab einen Toaster und immer Heißes Wasser, Kaffee, Tee, Zucker). Die Waschmaschine war meines Erachtens ein wenig zu teuer. 5,50 für die Wäsche + 5,50 für 30 min Trockner.

Located in close proximity to the Launceston CBD this cosy location boasting the title of "First Capsule Hotel in Tasmania" is a neat and tidy little hotel located on a few minutes walk from the the local mall and main business district. The atmosphere of the venue is great and had a mixed group of people who all got along well during my stay. The rooms are pods or capsules which may not seem that spacious, but as a larger person I was able to sit up in them with no issues with plenty of space for me to move around in the single pod. Each pod has wireless charging as well as USB charging for your devices with lighting and mirror in the pod. It has a 2 hooks that can be used to hang smaller items. Each pod also has a small to medium locker assigned to it which only opens with the card to your pod. Opening the pod I was met with a freshly laundered towel, single doona and pillow. They also contain a small valuable safe, but I was unable to open mine. The pods are not soundproof and you can hear other people entering/leaving or talking in their pods. The amenities were all nice and clean with a shared common lounge area and kitchen. Toilets and shower area were nice and clean, however, the water pressure in the showers felt a bit on the low side even when set to maximum and, even when it was set to full hot water was barely warm at best each time I took a shower during my stay. The staff when I was serviced were nice and friendly and guided me as it was my first time staying at the venue. Check-out time is at 10am and check-in from 2pm, with an option late check in available. At costing $60aud per night for the single size pod, it is very good value for money and I would stay here again especially when on a tight budget.
