One solo night
This property is good for a night or two. If you’re looking for a minimalist place, it’s a fit for a quick night sleep.

Great pod!
If you are OK with a small space, this is a perfect spot. Clean, well-run, well provisioned and thought out. It's a very small personal space, but has all you need. And the other guests are consistently respectful of the need for quiet. Highly recommended.

It was very good for the price. One up from a backpackers hostel. I would do it again.

10/10 Exceptional

I thought this was a great solution for an affordable overnight stay after a long flight. Im from Bowen Island and my flight arrived after the last ferry so a solution was needed. Very friendly front end greeter/staff. Welcoming and Professionally laid out environment. The shower was lovely (33 seconds for the hot water to arrive). I had a hip hurting from the flight maybe and found getting down the ladder from the top bunk a little challenging. This is not reflected on Panda, but for me, my inner child wants the top bunk but my 52 years call for perhaps the lower bunk. There were others staying there but there is a (ill say strict, but its more a string suggestion) quiet zone sleeping/ pods area and as a light sleeper, i slept well. Was just an overnight for me, but, a longer stay would prove to be comfortable and affordable for travelers!

A great dormitory bunk style place with friendly and helpful staff. The Robot at the lobby was cool. Perfect for an affordable one or two night stay :) I did prefer it when men (xy) were on one side and women(xx) on the other side of the complex. Thanks

Very good alternative to Vancouver expensive hotels! I don't like the area around the hotel, but the hotel itself is great and innovative! Not my first time and definitely not my last!

Staff was fantastic. The shared space was an adjustment and the limited storage for luggage etc. wasn’t the best

10/10 Exceptional

I want to start this review by thanking their staff for their exceptional services. Since I am not their target customer, my experience in 8/2024 may help others. 1. They have many pods. However, there are only 4 x 24-hour parking spots and a few more 9 PM - next day 4 PM spots. You might be able to find street parking. I think this is something drivers should consider. 2. This may be a training or misunderstanding issue. On that day, I could only check in with a passport or Canadian ID. Since people from the US can cross the border with US IDs, this creates a situation for those travelers. I was lucky that I had my passport. But what if I don't? Again, I really appreciate their staff for the services I received. However, travelers should also consider some of the limitations.

It was not clear this 125$ room was a 1x2 meter box, in the worst part of the city. The outside smelled like rotten fish for no reason. We could have an alarm clock. The beds rattled like there’s a train under us. And they added an 80$ damage deposit. The worst experience, take it off your app.

8/10 Very good

Great concept, just not executed as well as it could have. A few, still rather minor issues with the stay: 1) there’s not a lot of public spaces to work or lounge. This is important when you have a hostel style arrangement. 2) not a lot of bathroom or shower stalls, and some of the stalls were broken. Doesn’t help when other guests tend to make a mess of the restroom spaces. On busier nights, this could become more of an issue. Overall the pod concept works well, it’s great that the facility is less than 10 min from the train station, and there’s parking. Would be better if they had a bigger facility to accommodate the number of pods that they had on site.
