1. For a short stay it would be an interesting adventure but for a week+ climbing over bed corners is irritating.

"The rooms are really small " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/11/2012 Vote

2. Only downside was the room, it was VERY small and really should not have had a double bed in it as it was placed sideways so someone has to sleep up against the wall unable to get out without climbing over the other person which was irritating after 5 days.

3. The iPod dock (an iHome model) would not charge my iPhone 4 (the iPhone displayed an error message) which was irritating both to me and I'm sure the hotel management whose fashionable attempt at future-proofing has been thwarted by Apple's relentless upgrades.

"Excellent low-budget choice " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/12/2011 Vote

4. Also, they could replace the soap dish: the soap keeps falling through the grids while you're showering and that's very irritating.

"Great value! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/23/2010 Vote

5. The only drawback was the heating - when it works it is noisy which is rather irritating at night.

6. What was really irritating in this hotel was the lack of service and the absence of hospitality.

"Fair location - very bad service and low quality of accommodations - should be called hostel rather than hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/29/2009 Vote

7. We're probably not the right sort of travellers for the Pod - young singles or college students who don't want to stay at a backpackers would no doubt love it (if it fits their budget), but for us, it was kind of irritating.

8. You do occasionally here doors closing but everything else outweighs that minor irritation.
