4/10 Fair

For $100+ per night, I wouldnt stay again. Inteied it to experience the sleeper pod model but the price point needs to be lower in my opinion.

Great friendly staff and good location close to the SkyTrain :)
Harold, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient, affordable. Staff was very nice and accommodating of a pod change (post surgery so had trouble climbing to the top pod). Close to mall, groceries and restaurants. Area outside in the parking lot and surrounding area is a bit sketchy, and not clean.

10/10 Exceptional

My stay was amazing! Staff were so attentive, and kind. Loved the facilities and my stay, it is a great location (other than dumpster smell nearby) as it is a quick walk to Value Village, several restaurants, and Richmond CF Centre. Will definitely come again
Kelsey, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great spot, great price. All guests were super quiet and respectful of the needs of their very close neighbours. Very organized system, and it works well. Will stay there again.

Excellent staff and a comfortable pod to sleep in. The location is close to the airport and skytrain. Perfect place for a night after a weary trip. Thanks

Everyone was really nice, hotel was very clean, great price. Not too much selection for near by food but if you have a car you are good!
Marcus, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a few blocks from the train station and very easy to see the building!
Gerald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a fun stay for a few days. Sleep was comfy, great accomodations and staff was always very pleasant. Easy for solo travellers looking to save some cash and head into the city using the sky train. I will be back!
Erik, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stay at PandaPod every time i’m in Vancouver. The staff recognise me and ask me how I’ve been, they’re so incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s cleaner than any other hotel I’ve ever been to, and it has a nice balance of privacy in the pods and communal areas for eating where you can meet tons of interesting people! I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Vancouver area, and I’ve brought friends here who love it as well!
Miki, 13-night trip
