PODs Backpackers - Hostel Review

A small, quiet hostel in a great location. 35RM per night and lots of freebies available in the fridge and cupboards! 

Location 5/5
Great, on the main road by the seafront and next to the Centre Point mall. 2 mins walk from the huge food night market, and just 5 mins from the clothing night markets. Right next to the local bus hub and opposite the waterfront bars and decking. Very convenient for everything in the city!


Dorms 3/5
Nice and snug, with large lockers and thick, comfy mattresses. Towel provided and the showers are nice and hot! Both dorms and bathrooms are basic but all good. Nothing special, nothing bad, but a nice comfy night after the flight!

Management 4/5
Lovely! Very quiet hostel which is a treat when you've just stepped off the plane. Very welcoming reception staff.

Socialising 1/5
Small reception area with 2 tables is the only space you'll have outside the dorm here, although it is very friendly! 

Facilities 3/5
Bathrooms are basic but fine.
Air conditioning 
Lockers are large which is nice!
Strong wifi 
Breakfast included = bread, jam, tea, coffee
Fridge for customer use
Free drinking water from filter 

Overall 16/25
Nice and simple in a good location, PODs is good for a quiet stop over after a flight, or perfectly positioned if you're a shopaholic who doesn't like carrying! Nice hostel, but you could forget to explore the city due to such a convenient location!
