Panda Pod Hotel

Good

I loved Panda Pod, until...

Liked: It was clean and surprising to me there were 70? Pods. Lucky for me, Angel, who was working the day I checked in, assigned me to the “wheelchair” bed. So much room. I left a thankyou note for her. I am a mature woman, but not in a wheelchair. Very grateful
Disliked: On 07/17, I checked in and was billed and paid $490.58 for 4 nights. 07/18, I looked at my online bank statement & $490.65 was in a pending status from Panda Pod. I understood there was an $80 dep. It is 07/21, at 10:45 PM. I vacated @ 11AM. The charge is still in a pending status on my account. WHY? I’ve talked to the bank as well as Panda Pod(PP). No one can explain it. I’m a Senior and NOW, bc of the pending $490.65, I am BROKE. Even though it’s in a pending status the money is taken out of the account. HELP ME. I talked to several bankers @ Wells Fargo & many admins @ PP about what that charge can be. HELP

Superb

Good value for money and...

Liked: I like the Pods instead of bunk beds as it makes it feel more cosey and private. I also like how each pod had its own power outlets, fans, accessories etc. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities are modern and well kept. The location is also ideal as it is close to the Airport and Downtown. It was great for one night or two.
Disliked: The room was quite warm as there is no air conditioning (the pods do have mini fans though) and the pods itself are quite sensitive to movement meaning if the person above or below you moves around in their sleep it's definitely noticeable and probably not ideal for light sleepers.

Passable

Liked: The facility was very clean and the staff were amazing. It was great.
Disliked: The individual sleeping area was not as secure as expected. I thought each pod locked. As a female traveling alone I was not comfortable with the set up. I wish there was a way to lock on the privacy screen.

Very good

Superb

Exceptional

Liked: The mattress was sooooo comfortable and the sheets soft and inviting.

Much better than a hostel

Liked: The beds were super comfy, staff were really friendly and helpful. The showers were nice and hot
Disliked: I wish I could have had a space to keep my big bag with me at the pod but the space under the pod was too small. I had to keep it at reception. A couple of nights you could hear people chatting at normal volume rather than keep quiet at night time.
