The lady that runs it is nice and friendly, the location is very good, and it is very cheap. At the end of the day its a bed for the night so will do the job. However, it's nothing like most of the photos (see my photos for proof). It says there's 2 bathrooms but the 'second' is only accessed through the owner's bedroom and only has a toilet, the public one wasn't that nice and had some queues even in quiet season. Freezing cold showers when its -3°c outside were awful. The capsule is big enough, although don't expect any soundproofing, and the bed is basically a thin mat so not comfortable at all. It was hard to find; you have to call the owner to give you directions and let you in (I don't have a Chinese phone number so had to ask some kind strangers), and didn't get a response to messages I sent in advance asking for access code. Some of the 4-5* reviews here are clearly for different hotels (as seen by pics) so overall rating should be lower imo. Its difficult because its clear the lady is running this in her home and it's her livelihood, and she is very sweet, so I don't want to critique it too much, but honestly wouldn't stay again. You're literally staying in her apartment (that's been 'converted' by adding some capsules). It's very 'simple' as the title suggests, so I didn't have high expectations, but it is not as advertised in pictures, hard to find and an uncomfortable stay. It's fine for a night or two but I stayed 4 and would rather have payed a few yuan extra to stay somewhere nicer. Honestly, 2/5 is generous I'm sorry.

Response from Property: Many of the problems you responded to are misunderstandings caused by your personal problems. First, we provide hot water 24 hours a day for bathing. If you don’t know how to operate it yourself, turn the switch to the direction of cold water. If you change the direction, the heat will come out. If you don't know how to adjust the water, you can ask the boss. The boss lives in the store and can help you solve the problem at any time. Second, if you travel to China by yourself and your phone cannot make calls to China, you can leave a message through the Ctrip backend or contact us through Ctrip customer service. Third, the boss lives with everyone in the space capsule, which not only facilitates cleaning, but also serves everyone well and ensures everyone's safety. Fourth, the two bathrooms are separated from wet and dry. When one person is taking a shower, the other one can go to the bathroom and blow dry his hair at the same time, making more rational use of the bathroom. Fifth, you have chosen the Space Capsule Youth Hostel. Everyone shares the bathroom, and the one you booked is not a single room. It is normal to wait for a while. Just because you are a foreigner, people who are using the bathroom should not let you use it immediately. Everyone here is treated equally, and every guest staying in the hotel is treated equally. That's it. Our store has been open for ten years. Some of the problems you reported are not our problems, but your own problems. Communication is very important. You stayed here for several days without communicating with the store. When you left, you said something. No problem, it’s a complete misunderstanding. Again, hot water for bathing in my home is available 24 hours a day!

Excelent and affordable place to live but the only problem is its was very hard to find the location .. its was on the 2nd floor while i was searching on the street.. overall the it was very clean and very good … the boss was very friendly … very nice lady ..
Response from Property: Thank you for your good review! It may be because you are a foreign friend, you have already come downstairs to us, and you don't know how to go upstairs. Fortunately, I added WeChat, and I will go downstairs and bring you up. Thank you for the compliment and thank you for experiencing the capsule!

There are too many people sleeping in this place to only have a small bathroom for 30 or more of them.
Response from Property: There are only 20 space capsules in my house, with a maximum of 20 people, and two bathrooms. Everyone uses them in different directions. You checked in at the end of April (May 1 holiday), which happens to be a golden holiday in China, so there are many people living here. Because the location is good, the transportation is convenient, and the space capsule is an independent and private space, so everyone came to choose to live in my house, thank you for your trust and support!

Clean and sanitary, the room is on the second floor away from the shops on the first floor, spacious, bright, quiet and private, surrounded by Shuyuan Street and Xi'an City Wall, the boss is enthusiastic, and has everything you need, and it's very cheap. It's the most cost-effective and unbeatable hotel I've ever stayed in. I recommend everyone to book it.

Very convenient B&B! Convenient and cheap. The location is good, in the center of Xi'an, but it's hard to find this B&B because there are no signs on the road indicating where the B&B is. The corridors and bathrooms inside also need to be repaired. I mainly like it and will come back often because it's quite convenient, but I hope the B&B is better.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for your kind review! Following the online address navigation, you can accurately reach the street where our store is located. You can see the yellow sign on the window of my store when you look up. Walk ten meters east and turn left from the 🈳🈳 Oil Painting Studio for ten meters, then turn left and go up to Boya Picture Frame. Floor, directly opposite the stairs to Room 204, add WeChat to get the password to open the door and check in.

The quality-price ratio of this accommodation is very good. I arrived at 2 in the morning and they treated me very kindly. The facilities are very acceptable if we take into account that it is a very basic accommodation, with privacy and a private locker. Highly recommended for anyone looking for this type of accommodation. In my case I chose it because I was only going to be there for 5 hours. Good option for backpackers.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for your five-star praise! Thank you for your recognition of us! The location of our store in Xi'an is very good, which is very convenient for tourists. It is very convenient to travel by bus or subway, either alone or with friends. The key is that it is very close to tourist attractions, such as the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, City Wall, Shuyuan Gate, Museum... Each person has an independent private space, which is connected and independent, and it is also very convenient to charge mobile phones!

The bed sheets are not clean, and it is quite different from the photos. There is only one bathroom, and you have to wait a long time to go there. The shower is also in the bathroom, mixed with men and women, it's messy, the location is very remote, it's very dark in the alley, and I couldn't find it when I first went. The place (not only we can't find it, but almost everyone can't find it) I suggest friends who go to choose carefully!

A bathroom for around fifteen people, a difficult place to find when you don't speak Chinese

Response from Property: My B&B is a small B&B, not a big hotel. Each cabin has bunk beds and one person lives in each cabin. Although they share a room with other people, everyone has their own private space. Provides 24-hour hot showers and luggage storage. Affordable and in a good location, it can help you save time traveling to and from scenic spots.

The environment is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and I feel like I'm home. The owner of the apartment enthusiastically helps me connect to the wifi, which makes me feel relaxed. The quilt in the space capsule has a light fragrance. It is the best space capsule I have ever lived in. It is worth recommending everyone to go. . . . . . This store is located at Xi'an Academy Gate, near the ancient city wall of Xi'an, with a strong culture and the smell of books. The environment is great and the boss is very nice. The first time I called the store, they gave me a very detailed address throughout the process and guided me from which way to get closer. Very considerate.

I think it's only about 30 bucks a night, which is really good. The boss lady is also very nice and gentle, but the bathroom is a bit too bad. I hope it can be improved. The air in the room is a bit stuffy.

Response from Property: Thank you for your praise! There were many people during the Chinese New Year. From the first day of the Chinese New Year to now, the room is full every day. Every day when I open my eyes, I clean up, change the linens, ventilate, and receive new guests. I am exhausted! But I persisted. There are many guests staying, and the shoes are placed in a mess. Some bring food to eat in the room, and some order takeout. Everyone understands each other. There is heating in the house in winter, and ventilation is scheduled every day. Welcome everyone to experience my space capsule during off-peak hours!
