"I stayed in a pod room which I DO NOT recommend. They are in the basement with one window by the ceiling that opens onto the street. Despite cool weather, the room was swelteringly hot. NO air condiotioning. A fan, but in a concrete cell with no ventilation, it just moved the hot air around. The window to the street opens and there is a safety, but could easily be broken into. The window cover is a sliding wooden panel. So, if you leave it open for the air from the window, anyone can look right onto the bed which is built into the wall by the street, plus then light shines through. Completely overpriced for what you get. I liked the cozy size, but couldn't sleep and was roasting. I spoke to many people staying in other rooms and everyone complained about the heat in the building.
Harcourt Street is the clubbing street, so be prepared for noise."
