Find Capsule Hotels in London

"I stay at Zedwell occasionally for one reason: the £34 price tag in central London is unbeatable. However, don't be fooled by the ”Hotel” in the name. This is a capsule hostel that suffers from an identity crisis, offering neither the service of a hotel nor the amenities of a decent hostel. Navigating the building is an experience in itself. With its endless identical doors and confusing layout, it feels like the Honeycomb Maze from Takeshi's Castle—I was afraid a guard would pop out and spray me with a fire extinguisher. To add to the atmosphere, parts of the building look like a construction site, though it's unclear if any work is actually happening. If you make it to your room, the basics are fine. The mattress is comfortable, and the sliding doors offer better privacy than the curtains at typical hostels. However, maintenance is spotty—my USB-C port was broken, and the tissue dispenser in the toilet is so poorly designed you have to forage inside it with your fingers just to get some tissue out. The real issue is that Zedwell charges ”hotel” prices for ”hostel” basics. Actually, that is unfair to hostels—competitors like Wombats or St Christopher's usually provide hair dryers, lockers, and luggage storage for free. Zedwell exploits the captive audience: £8 for a padlock (You cannot lock your pod without one). £5 to rent a single towel. £10 to rent a hairdryer. £15 for luggage storage. £20 for late checkout (standard checkout is a harsh 10 am). Extra fee if you want your sheets changed sooner than every 4 days. If you book this expecting a standard stay (needing a towel, safe storage for your things, and a 12 pm checkout), that £34 bargain effectively becomes £77, and even more if you need luggage storage or fresh bedding. Only stay here if you treat it like an indoor campsite—because behind the attractive photos of private capsules, that is essentially what it is. Bring your own towel, padlock, and toiletries, and get out by 10 am. Otherwise, you are paying a premium for a below-average experience."

"I recently stayed at Cosmos Capsule Coworking London and had a pleasant experience overall. This capsule hotel offers a unique blend of accommodation and coworking space at an affordable price, making it ideal for travelers who need a place to work and rest. The hotel is conveniently located on Hanbury Street, just an 11-minute walk from Aldgate East station. Its central location makes it easy to explore London or commute to nearby areas. Just outside the hotel, at 67 Hanbury Street, is a charming Chai and Coffee shop called Chaii Town that I highly recommend. They offer a great variety of Chai flavors and pastries. I tried their Ginger Chai and Chai Latte, both of which were delicious. Their exotic pastries, like Dubai Cookies and Matcha Cookies, pair perfectly with the aromatic Chai. The owner was wonderful, and the hospitality was exceptional. The capsules are well-designed and functional. Each capsule features ambient lighting with customizable colors—blue, pink, green, yellow, or white—which adds a nice touch of personalization. There’s also a TV screen and headphones provided, though I didn’t use them during my stay. The capsules are not soundproof, so a good night’s rest depends on the courtesy of fellow guests. Fortunately, everyone during my stay was considerate, and I slept well. Earbuds are provided in the capsule just in case. The shared spaces, including the showers and toilets, were very clean. The shared kitchen area includes essentials like a sink, microwave, kettle, tea, and cups. One standout feature is the massage chair in the common area, which offers a fantastic massage after a long day. There’s no traditional reception desk. Instead, check-in is automated via a WhatsApp message or email with an access code. This code grants entry to the building and a small box containing your key card. The process is straightforward and efficient once you get used to it. While the shared spaces were immaculate, the capsules could use a bit more attention. I noticed hairs from previous guests on the blanket, which suggests that cleaning standards could be improved. Overall Experience: Cosmos Capsule Coworking London is a great option for budget-conscious travelers who need a comfortable place to stay and work. The location, amenities, and unique capsule design make it a memorable experience. With a little more focus on capsule cleanliness, it would be perfect."

"I loved everything about my time at this hostel, so many huge common spaces to relax in, the bed was fantastic, the ensuite bathroom was fantastic, the additional facilities were fantastic and of course the people were fantastic!! Everything was chef's kiss 🤌 I never ever write reviews, but this hostel is totally worth one! 100% will rebook here if I visit London again :)"

"I recently spent three wonderful nights at QUEENS ELIZABETH HOSTEL, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! The hotel was impeccably clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I would highly recommend QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSTEL anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. The hotel's attention to detail and commitment to cleanliness were evident throughout my stay. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Five stars isn't en ough – I'd give it ten stars if I could!..."
