You kept using the word coffin.... Ventilation or more accurately a supply of Oxygen seems the main flaw. Pods in other countries are much better including an air supply, sound proofing and overall quality.

[@madmonkeybbq9974]

They could have painted or covered the plywood ffs.

[@LudicrousPlatypus]

I wonder why I have never stayed there.

[@lisabudd5979]

Im from Australia This looks like the making of a horror movie,your walking down a creepy alley to door you than go inside see your in a morgue. 😂😂😂 Hell no .i thought it would be fun not bloody likely now. Is this Chinese owned or what lol 😂

[@vito5258]

everything looks so gross over there lol

[@TommyTallone]

What have I clicked on. This channel is epic 👍 I've stayed in that hotel it was bizarre and at my age 50 not the best idea but with ear plugs in I slept pretty well it was so warm 🥵 in the pod but was winter so that was ok.

[@JayShareef]

Thanks Tommy. It's the strangest hotel I've ever stayed in. I imagine for some people it's just right for their circumstances. I won't be heading back there again, anytime soon though. 🙂

[@allaboutpyro2549]

Im planning on going there on my vacation this year and stay at this hotel for a week, exploring the Hacksey Down area. What should I not miss checking out? Could you please recommend some restaurants in Hacksey Down? Guess there arent any beach or swimming opportunitues? Do u think a week will be enough? Thanks

[@JayShareef]

A week is a long time to stay in a pod hotel. But if you're using it as a base for visiting London, then it might be fine. And very cheap! Hackney doesn't have a lot to do - I think there's a museum and an independent cinema. You might want to check out St. Augustine's Tower if you like history, but I think it's only open once a month. There are lots of food places though, catering for every kind of cuisine you might want. Best thing about staying in Hackney Downs is that it's easy to get to Liverpool Street station and then get on the tube to visit anywhere in central London. You can also take a train from Liverpool Street station to Southend or Manningtree if you want to visit the beach for a day trip. Let me know how it goes. 🙂

[@BadnikMechanic]

God forbid there's ever a fire in that place... You are asleep in a wooden box!

[@JayShareef]

A good thing I never thought of that before I made the video, or I'd NEVER have stayed their overnight!! 🔥🔥🔥 And, now, I never will again!

[@YTguySmithy-lk6go]

Apparently you get a discount if you book for two people. Only 50 quid but the other person has to sleep on top of your body. 🤭

[@JayShareef]

🤣

[@JayShareef]

I thought you were kidding. But I just checked and it's true!! Imagine two people trying to sleep comfortably in that single-person coffin! 😂

[@Lychee-r7t]

I'm in the same pod tonight wish me luck pookie 🙏🙏

[@JayShareef]

Good luck!! 😂

[@Lychee-r7t]

@@JayShareef thankyouuuu it's much needed

[@JayShareef]

@@Lychee-r7t How was it??

[@Lychee-r7t]

@JayShareef way too hot for my liking but other than that not bad 😭

[@abderrahimait5139]

Hello sir I like your video :) I plan to go there on my holiday and stay at this hotel. What places which are near do you recommend?? Thank you very much indeed

[@JayShareef]

Glad you liked the video. Hackney area doesn't have a lot to do - I think there's a museum and an independent cinema. You might want to check out St. Augustine's Tower if you like history, but I think it's only open once a month. There are lots of food places though, catering for every kind of cuisine you might want. Best thing about staying in Hackney Downs is that it's easy to get to Liverpool Street station and then get on the tube to visit anywhere in central London, where you can see all the main attractions - Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Hyde Park and Edgware Road etc. You can also take a train from Liverpool Street station to Southend or Manningtree if you want to visit the beach for a day trip. Let me know how it goes.

[@abderrahimait5139]

Thank you so much for some pieces of information 🙏

[@lorettaray8317]

Too far out of central. Would uive me the creeps. Tube costs more to get there. Not for me.

[@davidz2690]

You can get a room in an airbnb for £30

[@JayShareef]

Best I could find on ABnB for that date, within Zone 2, was £56. It did look very nice though. Luxurious in comparison to the coffin!! 🤣

[@ZephyrCrypto]

That is fucking horrendous!! What the hell has happened to London?! I wouldn't let an animal sleep in there.

[@gorgeousgeorge3947]

They ought to be illegal.

[@ManCave1972]

Staying in Hackney Downs is a bad idea to being with, it’s too far from anything of interest and the trains that run there are lousy. The area itself is horrible. To stay there in a makeshift coffin just makes it all the more miserable. God help anyone coming to London that tries that lot out. The ‘pod’ looks like an infection incubator and far too small and nasty looking. What a dump, why did they even bother? £37 sounds cheap but Christ you’d be better off spending another £30 and staying in an actual cheap hotel that isn’t in the middle of a crappy part of London. Utterly awful.

[@leewakefield8658]

There is at least one other pod hotel in London at St Christopher's Inn

[@JayShareef]

I know the one you mean, at London Bridge. I've been there. But don't consider that to be a "pod hotel". It's more of a hostel (which also has some pods). I've also heard people describe the Yotel at Gatwick as a "pod hotel" but to me that's just tiny hotel rooms rather than pods - each one has a private tiny bathroom. I guess how you see it all comes down to semantics and what your definition of "pod hotel" (and indeed "hotel") is.

[@varsityathlete9927]

These videos work better when you don't add the ongoing live commentary, the Japanese have this down 100%, it's all subtitles. That means, firstly you are not annoying the other people in the pods, also you don't ramble as you create a script. 'Noise complaints', yeh this is this guy in the pod next to me talking I'm trying to sleep before catching my flight....

[@JayShareef]

It comes down to a matter of taste. Some people prefer the live commentary. Others prefer the voiceover. My own preference when watching KZbin are the videos with the live commentary. Which is why I chose to do it that way myself. And no-one was being annoyed. There were hardly any people staying there and I only ever spoke in the pod room in a low voice - and only during daylight hours. I always try and be considerate when filming videos.
