Good value for the cost, compared to other places for a place to just sleep. Especially when you just need a place to sleep and get up to spend most of your time out and about during your time in Launceston.
I wish that there were more places just like this one to stay and sleep in all around Australia when travelling and exploring. Unlike all of those other backpacker hostel places, where you have no privacy and have to put up with the noise of others during your sleep, especially from snorers.

I booked through a third party, so I missed the information about arrival times. Fortunately, another member of the tour I was on was staying there and knew where to look for access keys. Thank goodness for the staff who left me a key despite my mistake. It was my first pod experience. All the usual hostel experience, but with your own bed space. The location is great and makes it easy to walk around the area.

If you just need an affordable place to rest, relax and sleep while spending most of your time exploring Launceston and its surroundings, I recommend staying in the Pod Inn.

I had a double pod even though it was just me. I found that it was spacious enough that I didn't feel claustrophobic - but if I'd gotten a single one I might have been a bit panicky. With the double, not at all panicky.
It was just a plastic box at the end of the day, but it was fun, private and more than sufficient.
The shared bathrooms were clean and tidy, with basic toiletries for guests to share. I liked that.
I would stay here again if I was traveling alone and just needed somewhere to sleep. iOS perfect for that.
The double capsule measures about 2m in length and 160cm in width. Sitting up in bed there's still about 8-10 inches above your head (I'm 5'6\").

My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.

The pod was spotless. It was different not being able to see out once you shut the door but it was private. Perhaps the only thing I would have liked was for someone to show me my pod and a few words of explanation rather than just give me the keys. Otherwise the staff were very helpful and the communial areas were spotless.

Perfect cheap bed for the night after attending a night game of footy. Pod itself was very clean and reasonably comfortable. Little bit noisy with doors closing but couldn't hear talking etc. Bathroom area was just ok. Time we were there we didnt use shared kitchen facilities. Overall would definitely stay again if not anticipating spending time at the pod other than to sleep.

Details on Expedia state there is onsite parking for $2 however when we arrived we were told there is no parking. When asked the staff about this and showed them the information they had no idea about it and just advised on where to park nearby. We were pretty annoyed and ontop of that received awful customer service. It was 2pm and we would’ve had to wait until 530pm for free parking and leave our car somewhere on the street or car park nearby. We have our luggage in the car and the storage for pods would’ve been to small and didn’t feel comfortable just leaving our car somewhere on the streets so we checked in to see what the pods were all about and they smelled pretty bad! The amenities were dirty and the whole place was just not worth the price. We decided we’d rather loose our money on the booking as it was non refundable and ended up booking somewhere else and just walked out. Expedia needs to update their details about parking as we just wasted our money. However after seeing what was offered, the poor customer service and the conditions of the place, for the price they charge it wouldn’t have been worth staying anyway. Would not recommend.

For the price you pay can’t expect more. You can hear everything even when you’re in your pod, the pod itself looks clean and it’s comfy and room enough for 1. Showers have mould and are small the lockers aren’t big enough and the other guests had things lined up along walls. Would stay again only because of the cheap price.

It was interesting. It feels like you are in a space shuttle or something. For a capsule, it is quite spacious so I am surprised I dod not feel claustrophobic. I stayed there for only one night anyway. The only thing you have to take into consideration is you cannot make much noise as every noise can be heard from inside the pod. For someone who has never traveled backpacking nor camping, this is probably not my cup of tea but it is definitely worth to try out. Location is awesome as you can walk to nearby cafes and restaurants.

I really enjoyed my 3 nights at the POD Inn. The concept and delivery were good.
Was travelling on my own and had a double pod to myself.

Pros: close to everything, pods were clean, quiet and the restaurant nextdoor was superb. Free WiFi was good.

Cons: The bathrooms were not tidy but needed a deep clean, couldn't find a place to store guitar case so kept it in pod, never saw a staff member.

Would definitely use again when travelling solo.
