I'm actually "inside" my pod as I write this ;-)<br>Just to clear things up, picture are always a bit deceiving. Take them with a grain of salt because I have a marketing purpose. Nonetheless I must say I am VERY happy with Habitat so far. I still have some improvement suggestions for the pods but all in all they're great. Rooms are sqeaky clean. Security is superb (the front door as well as each dorm has ultra-modern Samsung key-card locks. Bathrooms are stylish and functional at the same time. Wifi ist great. You can use the washing machine for free! And the staff is really nice as well. Only issue I have is that it's not your typical "fun" hostel. I'm not particularly fond of drunk backpackers either but slightly more communication amongst the people staying at the hostel would be great. Especially since most of the people staying here seem to be travelling alone, like myself.<br><br>But overall one of the best hostels I've stayed in for quite a while (Footprints in Singapore is great too but a bit too big.
