Zedwell Capsule Hotel Piccadilly Circus Reviews

Zedwell Capsule Hotel Piccadilly Circus: A Sleepover in a Space Pod

Ever felt like you've been crammed into an economy seat on a long-haul flight, but instead of touching down in some exotic locale, you're just back at your desk? Yeah, me neither. But that's the kind of squeeze I was expecting when I heard about Zedwell Capsule Hotel in Piccadilly Circus. I mean, who hasn't dreamt of a sleepover in a space pod, right?

Now, I'm not one to shy away from a challenge, so I thought, why not give it a go? I mean, it's not every day you get to sleep in a pod that looks like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie. Plus, it's right in the heart of London's West End. How bad could it be?

Checking In: The Tech-Savvy Welcome

First things first, the check-in process was smoother than a well-oiled machine. No grumpy receptionists here, just a friendly face behind a sleek, modern desk. They've got this futuristic, automated system where you check yourself in on a tablet. It's like ordering a coffee at a fancy café, but instead of a latte, you're getting a cozy little pod for the night. Pretty neat, huh?

Now, I'm not usually one for all that tech malarkey, but even my grandma could've figured this out. And if she can do it, well, that's saying something. Plus, there's no faffing about with keys. You just tap your phone on the lock, and voilà, you're in. It's like magic, but with less rabbits and more sleep.

My Little Pod in the Sky

So, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the capsule. Was it tiny? Yes. Could I touch both sides without stretching? Also yes. But here's the thing, it was actually pretty comfy. It's like they've figured out the perfect balance between 'cozy' and 'claustrophobic'. I mean, it's not like I was doing the can-can in there, but for a good night's sleep, it was just right.

The bed was soft, the pillows were plump, and the sheets were clean. What more could you want? Oh, right, a little bit of privacy. Well, they've thought of that too. Each pod has its own little curtain, so you can draw it closed and pretend you're in your own little world. It's like having a secret fort, but with better bedding.

Facilities: More Than Just a Bed

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'But what about the bathroom?', 'But where do I put my stuff?', 'But how do I survive without a minibar?' Well, fear not, dear reader. Zedwell has thought of everything.

Zedwell Capsule Hotel opens in Piccadilly Circus

The bathrooms are clean, modern, and there's even a little room with hairdryers and irons if you're feeling fancy. There's plenty of space to store your stuff, and if you're feeling peckish, there's a vending machine with snacks and drinks. It's like a little convenience store, but without the judgmental stares when you're buying your fifth bag of cheese puffs.

Location, Location, Location

Let's not forget the most important thing - location. Zedwell is slap bang in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. I mean, if you're looking for a quiet, secluded getaway, this might not be the one. But if you want to be right in the thick of it, this is the place to be. You're just a stone's throw away from theaters, shops, and some of the best pubs in London. It's like living in the heart of the city, but without the hefty price tag.

The Verdict: Not Your Average Sleepover

So, would I recommend Zedwell Capsule Hotel? In a heartbeat. It's not your average hotel stay, that's for sure. But if you're looking for something a little different, a little quirky, and a whole lot of fun, this is the place for you. It's like a sleepover with your coolest friend, but with better breakfast options. And let's face it, who doesn't want to sleep in a space pod every once in a while?

Just don't expect to do the moonwalk in your pod. Trust me, I tried. Spoiler alert: it's not as easy as Michael Jackson made it look.
