The pods could use some extra cleaning as there was a hand print on the stainless panel inside and some dirty substance on the roof upon arrival. There is only 1 toilet and shower to share between everyone else staying there which didn’t seem to be an issue on our stay but the shower requires attention and was hanging off the wall

Not worth the money!
Don’t stay in the pods. We booked a pod for 3 nights and only stayed one. The lock to my pod was broken, the door came off the track, there was a blood stain on the duvet, there’s only one bathroom for all the pods and it’s not very clean. There’s no towels, including hand towels in the bathroom. Theres also no air flow at all in the pods, no fan or anything. There’s barely anything in the kitchen. There is a number you can text ‘if you need anything’ that I texted 4 times without answer, and when I told the staff we wanted to leave early there wasn’t any question about it, no how can we improve things for you, nothing. The place is not well maintained, and there’s obvious water damage to the floor. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean they shouldn’t care.

There are no towels when you shower and the shower smelled like cigarette smoke. We had to be switched into 4 different pods due to them being dirty. The pods are super noisy at night, we could hear every time the person above us moved and it was hard to sleep. No air flow in the pods either. Staff was super nice and kind, they were the highlight. But this would not be good for more than a few hours of rest.

Dirty feet smell and couple doing the nasty but ex
It could have been great (you can't beat location, it's amazing) except the pod we were assigned didn't have A/C so we had to open the door of the pod and have everybody walk past by us at all times... the cleanliness was not the best, floors were sticky and there was a dirty feet smell that was only masked with aerosol sprays...they only have 1 bathroom and 1 shower and the kktchen area is kinda nasty too.... also there was a young couple that was getting it on all night until we had to shush them because the girls growns were getting louder and louder by the second... so if you are willing to overlook that then this is the place for you

I wish I could give this hotel zero stars. The pod rooms are dirty, have zero ventilation, zero voice cancelation, were so hot and small. We couldn’t breathe inside!! They charge for basic toiletries, towels etc. The front desk- Zero communication skills Not at all recommended!

Overall: not great but good location
Big meh for this place. Though relatively new it’s definitely showing hard wear that hasn’t been repaired. Many of the pods had doors missing and replaced with blinds. The airflow system in the pods was virtually non-existant. The courtyard to outside was inaccessible due to mattresses and equipment blocking the doors. The mattresses in the pods were creaky and not great. There were no rules posted for quiet times and a few guests were playing the television very late into the night. The only reason I’d suggest staying here is that the location is very good and the staff were pleasant.

This is my second time staying at Hygie! The reception is always a delight! As soon as we got there, we were not comfortable with the room that we had booked (which is our fault for not paying attention). We were able to upgrade to a King suite for a pretty reasonable price for such short delay! The place was very clean, calm and had common areas that we could use! Would definitely recommend Hygie to anyone!

Front desk, Ahmad was good and helpful. Bed and suit condition, acceptable. Since located in downtown, no need to use the vehicle. However, number of showers and washroom compared to number of people doesn't fit. Also, kitchen and washroom could be cleaner, & they need someone cleaner. Overall 👍

Unsanitary and Lacking Safety
As a woman solo traveling I would never recommend this “hostel” to someone. There are not locks on the pod doors or the lockers. It is extremely poorly maintained with stains on the ceiling of the pods, the towels, and the beds. The rooms have no ventilation so they smell with sweaty feet. It certainly doesn’t meet fire or safety codes. There is one unclean bathroom (one toilet and one sink and one shower) for the whole hostel. The code for the front door was generic and clearly repeatedly used and rarely changed. The door to the pod rooms doesn’t lock properly and the code is generic and clearly unchanged. So if you stayed there once you could repeatedly let yourself in. And there was no concierge or staff working to prevent or deter that from happening. Would not recommend. It is cheaper than everywhere else for a reason
