    New place, we'll design but not well built. Clean sheet, clean bathroom, comfortable mattress. Some problems : Cannot find my reservation made through their website and busy checking although there are many empty pods and I haven't paid. wall are too thin and not insulated between pods, I can hear my neighbor whispering towel rack broken already (see photo) they install clothes hanger next to the shower head, what were they thinking? On of the light inside my pod cannot be turned off, I think it's a wiring issue. Will I be back, may be. But there are others nearby. I'll try and compare ๐Ÿ˜Š

    The owner need to make some makeover for the toilet and pod. For hygienist person like me I can't stay there. The toilet got water leaking everywhere. Disgusting. The toilet bowl can move around. Maybe it wasn't cement well. The light in the bathroom is not very good. It's dark. Everything inside it was rusty. The pod have this cockroach smells. Maybe a little but my nose are very sensitive so i cud smell it. There were hole everywhere in the pod also. It wasn't well maintained. The bed are still comfy. And the pillow is nice as well. Too bad i cant stand the smell. The location is very nice as it's nearby the pik avenue and Chinatown. It will be wasted if it's not well maintained.

    The price is cheap and the hardware is newer, but there are also many shortcomings.The hostel's WiFi Internet experience is very poor, and many times it is impossible to open the webpage at all. The smell of the men's toilet on the third floor is very heavy. There are many mosquitoes in the restaurant. The level of consumption around is very high. It takes about an hour to reach the city center by bus.

    Bad: This hostel has a very bad mosquito problem. I saw staff leaving the front door open on several occasions as well as opening windows on all floors with no screens. There were tons of mosquitos throughout the entire property. Many people were getting bitten in their sleep inside the dorm rooms. The staff would leave the doors open when cleaning the rooms and the mosquitos would enter the rooms from the common areas. Given the current Dengue outbreak in Jakarta (and across Indonesia), it is extremely important to keep mosquitos out of the hostel. It is unacceptable to have this many mosquitos inside a modern, clean, and air-conditioned facility. It is very cheap and easy to solve this problem using screens, repellents, and traps. There is also a nice outdoor patio area in front of the hostel but it was nearly impossible to sit outside because of the swarms of mosquitos. Bathrooms could be cleaner. WiFi is slow but this may be a local issue as it is slow everywhere I went around town. Some guests were super loud in the common areas late at night and woke us up multiple times. The staff did nothing about it, even though quiet hours are posted throughout the property. Good: Aside from these few problems, this is a really nice hostel with a great vibe. The staff is very nice and made our stay enjoyable. The beds are clean and super comfortable with good privacy curtains that block out all the light. This is the first hostel Iโ€™ve ever stayed at that provided both a regular pillow and a body pillow. The dorms are clean and have great AC. The lockers are large. The common area is nice and we met some really cool people here. The bathrooms (1 bathroom on each floor) only have 2 showers and two toilets each but I never had to wait - even with a full hostel I rarely saw others in the bathroom. They are large and the rain showers are amazing with great pressure. The hostel is in the heart of PIK with countless restaurants and food options within a <1 minute walk. There are multiple convenience stores close by and a very large mall (Avenue @ PIK) within a 10 minute walk. It never takes more than a minute or so to get a Grab car or taxi to get around the city. This is a great hostel and if the few issues are corrected, it would be a perfect hostel.

    The pictures on the booking websites are from 5 years ago and boy oh boy has it gone downhill from then, it was a shock when, after arriving there, I decided to read some reviews and the complaints from 2 years ago about light bulbs not working and sink faucets being rusty and broken were still valid. Photos from 2 years ago looked like they were taken by me the day I arrived. The toilet seats were dirty and had no toilet paper, the bidet had lower pressure, no hooks anywhere on the showers, that were also really dark, the shower head was all rusty too, but at least the bathroom didn't stink, albeit looking completely abandoned. The Pods are OK, the ac works fine, but they're really small, it is advertised as a full bed but it can't accommodate 2 people comfortably, me and my wife booked 3 nights and after being unable to sleep the first one, due to very small space and being pretty hot, we decided to book somewhere else because it was that bad. The Pods privacy curtains fell off when I tried to close them. The ac on common area doesn't work either and there's mosquitoes everywhere. The owner of this place needs to put in a lot of work here to become decent, at $8/night it's still really expensive for what you get. Even though the location is good, the place itself is very hidden and hard to find. I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the staff was really kind, friendly and receptive, otherwise I would give it 0 stars if I could.

    Itโ€™s a pod not fit for two, so donโ€™t call it double duluxe. Just call it pod for one person. Maybe for two toddlers? Anyway, this place is memorable because of the mosquitoes. Iโ€™d not come here again. Airco is only at the hall, pod is hot. Public space is without airco. Glad it was just one night.

    What a cute place to spent nights with friends, and families! I was looking for one-night-stay villa near Depok or Jakarta, and then I found this place. I was so in love at the first sight to its beds, which are "numpuk" (there is one bed on each bed), and its cute design, peaceful atmosphere. This is not a villa, it is like a room with many beds, and a quite medium to large living room that shared with other occupants in the second floor (photo with green sofas and tv). The house holder were very kind, and easy to be contacted. They served us with coffee break for free, we can also cook some instant noodle using its water dispenser.

  • 5/5 Nathasa N. 5 years ago on Google
    It was trully a remarkable and fun stay. What i have to say about this place: 1. The place is really clean 2. It was luxurious n spacious for pods boutique 3. The price is soooo affordable so i can allocate hotel budget to other stuffs 4. The toilet is clean as well as finished with stylish design 5. The locker is actually spacious n large enough to store my belongings. Something we dont usually get at boutique pods, so i was surprised to find it spacious 6. They have cozy n homey living room with TV and also dining table to accomodate us when we bought dinner back to the pods. A really good extra point here 7. What i love most staying at VK Pods is the location. It is located in the heart of trending area, PIK, with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and near to PIK Avenue 8. We can easily go to airport through the highway in PIK area I really recommend this pod to stay at. High quality and good service as well. Keep up the great work

    Considering the price its okay. For improvement: 1. Make your signage visible. Please put a cue (took 15mins to find it) ITS BEHIND THE RESTO 2. Pod is good (comfy sheets and pillow) However pls be strict in your rule to be considerate with other guests (too noisy: talking and loud mobile volume) 3. Locker is good idea for valuable. Also put cctv for more security. 4. Attendee its like they are bystanders only. 5. Shared Toilet - were okay. Not worse. But pls put tissue and make the light more brighter. 6. Pod assignment - i think its okay for us to request a room or pod change.

    The room is very, very cheap for PIK area. It is decent for overnight stay or short trip. Nice bed. Nice receptionist dudes. Over the years the facilities are getting severely damaged (especially the bathroom), and the apparent suspects are the rude guests.

  • 3/5 Syahrul G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's comfortable but the message is that the bottom mattress can actually be the top one. He said he had to order again even though he already ordered. It's a bit disappointing at that. (Original) Nyaman sih tapi pesannya kasur bawah malah dapat yg atas. Katanya harus pesan lagi padahal sudah pesan. Agak mengecewakan di hal itu sih.

    (Translated by Google) It is a capsule hotel. I ordered for 2 people through traveloka, he drew 2 pillows, but right there cm 1 pillow. There are no towels either. But the place is comfortable, close to PIK Avenue, and there is plenty to eat. (Original) It's a capsule hotel.

    An upscale pod hotel :) The bed is springbed and totally larger than any single bed I've had (although the double bed is rather of queen size). The shower is relatively clean, they provide shampoo and soap and hairdryer (this is important haha). The design is really cute and the place is homey :) Oh and with reasonable price too!
