Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really good location for theatre land, can get quite busy on the street outside at night so be aware. The place was very well maintained cleanliness wise but there was already signs of some wear and tear which was surprising seeing as they're so new but I have a feeling that it was something to do with the under floor heating in the bathroom? Speaking of the showers could do with having a small shelf or something as you need your phone to get in to your nest so you need it with you all the time so worried me having it on the floor of the shower stall (it was fine didn't get wet in that bit but still). The nests are air conditioned which you can control did feel a little weird waking in complete darkness and I shocked myself awake by turning the wrong light on both mornings but that was my bad. It's a little difficult crawling in and out of the upper nest especially in a skirt so be aware if you have any mobility issues. Also bed was a little too firm for my liking. Downstairs in the hangout space there's hot drinks and vending machines, there's free hot water in the large drinks one btw don't pay £1.50 on the small one and awesome to see little packs of Soya milk! Filtered cold water taps everywhere was a god send! Staff very welcoming and helpful. Overall really great stay, I must have got a mid week deal as was way under their base rate so think about that when booking. Thoroughly recommend if you literally just want somewhere to sleep in the middle of London."
