Pop & Rest, Old Street

Jun 26th, 2021

Extremely disappointed by the false advertising on their website. The pods at Old Street look nothing like in pictures. I was expecting exactly what I saw on the website - secure pads with glass door, door handles which you can lock, and which are meant to be soundproof. What you get in reality is a foam-covered wooden cabin with a latch. You can hear everything, every time someone moves on their bed and I even had to wake up at 6am because there was a really weird guy that kept chatting to himself and coughing everywhere. The room where the pads are is really messy, there is rubbish everywhere even on top of the cabins. The toilet is small and dirty. No mirror, no toilet paper. My body is itching from the bed too. Such a good idea but the execution is very poor.

Pros: Quiet and comparatively peaceful place to lie down for a few hours. Decent value for price and very clean. Cons: mattress and pillow were quite thin and not conducive to a good rest. The rooms are just segments of fabric and soundproofing hanging from the ceiling, so not quite as cozy as you might think. Overall: worth it for the few hours rest/relaxation after arriving in London early morning, but definite room for improvement.

Disappointing experience. The place is very basic, locates in the ground floor of an old converted building with office tenants above. There are about 4 or 5 rooms but they are not proper rooms, only separated by dividers and thick curtains. There is no proper sound proofing so you can literally hear everything thats going on around you - people constantly walking on the floor above (again, poor wooden flooring with no proper sound proofing), people walking around you, people whispering...you are on edge all the time and it is not relaxing at all. Bed linen also smells, not sure whether or not they change them between guests.
