Great Stay ! Friendly Staff !
tsering
We got in very affordable price. They have free breakfast and it was good though. They have two pieces of waffle and 2 eggs of your choice either scrambled or sunnyside. Its clean. They have a locker where two carry on and personal bag can fit. They have 24 hours coffee and tea available. Staff are very nice. There is anytime fitness riggt there if anyone has membership they can go there. Its 10 mins from cancun airport. Overall i like it.

Common Area and Washroom Cleanliness can be improved.
Jayson
It was fine experience for our short one night stay. The locker room area was very small and had only one small table to share amongst 50 pods. Showers were hot and clean. The actual sleeping area was separated from the lockers/bathrooms. The door squeaked every time it was opened. The sleeping quarters are like a dormitory. We needed to have eye mask and ear plugs to sleep well. The pods were clean to sleep in but air flow was minimum. You can hear the doors opening and people in their pods. I thought the pods would be more insulated from each other's sounds but it was more like a bunkbed dormitory. breakfast was a nice addition. I would only use for a short term stay at most one night to be close to airport. Building is amongst a commercial district like a Shopping Mall.

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and I’d say there are both pros and cons.
Pros:
The common areas are generally clean, including the showers and bathrooms. The staff are mostly friendly and helpful, which I appreciated.
Cons:
If you’re a light sleeper, this place may not be for you. You can clearly hear doors opening and other guests moving around — the soundproofing is not very good. I also noticed the capsule itself had a slight unpleasant smell, possibly from poor ventilation (it reminded me of a “stuffy” or foot odor smell).
In terms of safety, I didn’t feel it was very secure, as the capsule door can apparently be opened without a key, which was a bit concerning.
Breakfast was very basic — just eggs and two small waffles, with no vegetables or fruit.
Unfortunately, I also experienced a power and water outage on the first night. Hopefully this was just bad luck - not happening a lot.
Overall:
It’s an interesting experience if you’re curious about capsule hotels, but comfort, noise, and ventilation could be improved.

Room was perfect, only thing I didn’t enjoy was the locker. To small to have 50 capsules. Only one table to organize your things and if there is 1 or more people at the same time you is uncomfortable.
David jeffery
Staff support ignored my request to help. It was 90 degrees F in my room and i could not sleep and was sweating all night. I had a long travel day and almost crashed on interstate 75 in Florida from being exhausted due to lack of sleep. I never had this problem and they should have offered a new pod to me where the climate control worked. The lady at the front desk was wearing a sweater and she ruined my stay and others since she kept the heater on for the whole building. The other guest complaint of the the heat as I did even when there temperature control was working. I tried to sleep outside on the terrace because it was a perfect 69 F outside but there was no where to get comfortable. Also 6 inch memory foam mini mattress's would be so called bed cushions are not very comfortable. As usual the breakfast was good and everything else was okay but that was the worst night ever for sleep and i had zero control. I was a frequent customer here but I will never stay here again.
Hamad Saleh
The employees made my experience one of the top, and I will definitely come back and take another reservation just to meet the joyful and the best employees I’ve ever meet, Mau B and Enrique, they really have helped me a lot and took my experience from good to the best ever. They recommend me some area to visit and even helped me with the correct prices. Thanks to The Yellow Capsule for having me and a special thanks for those to gentlemen, Mau B and Enrique. See you soon in another vacation.
Carlos
Staff is great, just some extra fees and little slow with the whole check in
CYNTHIA
Check-in was easy yet interesting, Im glad I read reviews so I somewhat knew what to expect. Staff throughout our stay seemed annoyed and were unhelpful with local recommendations or suggestions to better our stay. 500 pesos CASH refundable deposit is collected at check-in along with an environmental fee of approximately $4 dollars per capsule per day. Expedia does mention these fees. Capsule was clean, spacious (Queen size), everything was in working order. At night its not the quietest due to some people not following rules to be quiet. Capsule doors are a little loud when you open and close them. Capsule did get warm at times during the night despite having AC on. Nothing major. There is a TV which you will need to use headphones for. If you dont have any you can purchase for 35 pesos. Breakfast portion small but good. Bfast consisted of two eggs, half of a waffle, half of a banana and coffee or tea. Juices and sodas available for purchase (25 pesos). Common areas such as lobby, eating area, balcony, sleeping room (where capsules are located) locker room were very clean. Womens bathroom stalls and separate showers / changing rooms were also very clean. Overall good stay as it was clean, close to the airport, and felt safe.

If you are looking for an affordable stay and will be out most of the day then look no further. Advice ...choose queen size even if you are going alone it feels much better...i don't think i could've done the twin size bed. I slept good....the indoor and outdoor sitting area is nice and comfy to chill but not all day so this is good if you will be out most of the day...free breakfast is a plus...lockers are unisex with separated restrooms.

This property held my passport because THEIR point of payment wasn’t working so I couldn’t pay a cleaning fee, you have the option of leaving your ID as security deposit for the 2 keys and I did that, at check out I turned in both keys so I should have got my passport back. That cleaning fee had nothing to do with my passport and especially their out of order payment system, mind you, my airport transportation was waiting outside with other travelers in the van for over 30 min! I even had to be outside earlier and the night shift lady was doing too much!

This establishment provided a truly memorable experience. The level of service offered was exceptional and contributed to a very pleasant stay. Every detail seemed carefully considered to enhance comfort and enjoyment. It's clear that considerable effort is made to create a positive atmosphere. I would gladly recommend this hotel to others seeking a similar experience.
Andy
Great idea but needs work
Overall not a bad place. My only complaint is that with 30-40 pods in a room, the doors opening and closing are too loud. They need to insulate the doors so you hear less and the extra weight would make them quieter. Also, do the doors really need a confirmation set of beeps? Beeping all night I couldn't sleep.
Cool concept. Needs tweaking

Es mi segunda vez quedándome y la verdad siempre lo recomendaré para una noche o de paso. Lo único que me no me gustó fue que el puerto USB no funcionaba para cargar mi telefono, me di cuenta en la mañana que no había cargado, por suerte tenía mi power bank conmigo. Lo otro fue que no me preguntaron las opciones para el desayuno pues a pesar que solo es huevitos con waffles y banana en rodajas, al parecer puedes escoger comer 2 huevitos y 3 waffles o 3 huevitos y solo un waffle. También cuando llegue quise solicitar transporte al aeropuerto pero me dijeron que ya no había disponiblidad cuando es algo que se pudo haber ofrecido cuando solicite la búsqueda al aeropuerto por 890 pesos. Por suerte Uber pasa por ahí y fue más económico de lo que a lo mejor me hubiera costado con trasporte privado. De resto las instalaciones muy bien como la última vez que estuve.
Hatim
The other guests closing the capsule doors in the night made it hard to sleep. They do provide ear plugs for that but still can be annoying. Breakfast has limited options.

Nice hotel near the airport.

Overall it was pretty good experience. The capsule is comfortable enough for resting overnight. Hotel transportation to the airport was a bit pricey.

Jeremy
It is my first time staying in a property like this. I have mixed feelings. They definitely need to advertise as a hostel, because that’s what it is. For a quick overnight stay to get some sleep it would be perfect however I don’t understand how they would buy pods and stock them on top of each other when the neighboring pod has a light on it shines through into your pod, only the connected pod to yours. Also I experience during the middle of the night people turning on lights in the main room where the pods/capsules are and then it lights up everything. So I think if they could find a way to control that it would be awesome. I also think that They should take into consideration that Americans need cooler air conditioning the pods do not have air-conditioning but they do have airflow so it’s dependent upon the air conditioning in the room that the pods are located in. It’s always better to be a little cooler than to be hot no one likes to sleep in the hot or at least a mass majority of people don’t. I know that I don’t. so I stayed two nights, one night was without any issues with the lights or the temperature and the other night I was woken up several times because of the lights and because of the temperature. I will say that the staff is extremely nice and it was five stars for cleanliness. I think that there must be a way for them to control the temperature and lighting situation. You don’t get blankets you get a sheet.

Had a short stay for a very early morning flight found washrooms especially men's dirty. Urinals reaked never flushed out the 10 hours we stayed. Not being dramatic, had to hold my breath in the washroom. Smell ran into the locker area. Sinks/ countertop soaking wet and looking for an area set down belongings/items. Capsule and area appeared clean. Capsules ventilation seemed poor had trouble on high setting even cooling down slightly, we needed to open the door to get fresher air and to help cool the unit down. I feel fan air movement is not adequate or needing of service.

This is advertised as a hotel, but it is not. Don't be tricked by the many positive reviews. This is basically a night club with places to sleep if you need to. You aren't allowed to bring your bags/suitcase to your capsule.

Average hostel if you need something close to airp
Safe box never worked even after 2 or 3 trials with the staff twin cabin mattress quality is average, my locker was damaged, to close have a little trick, washroom is average.
David
It is great for a good nights rest and the breakfast is great. I am having major dental work done at Gnux Dental which is just downstairs from the yellow capsule.
I like the location since it is safe and there are many good dining options within walking distance. It is not far from the airport (about a 20 minute taxi). The staff at the Yellow Capsule are friendly and helpful.

I gave it a great rating because it was 5 star on all options. But, this is NOT a hotel room. It's a queen size bed in a pod. Not accessable accomadations. You must be able to climb in and climb out.
