Good value for the cost, compared to other places for a place to just sleep. Especially when you just need a place to sleep and get up to spend most of your time out and about during your time in Launceston.
I wish that there were more places just like this one to stay and sleep in all around Australia when travelling and exploring. Unlike all of those other backpacker hostel places, where you have no privacy and have to put up with the noise of others during your sleep, especially from snorers.

Cooking facilities were limited to basic s, toaster, kettle, air fryer, egg cooker, and microwave. No oven facility.
Sleeping pods were clean and well equipped.
Communal area was conducive to catching up with fellow travellers or just relaxing

My first POD experience and it was a good one. Courteous staff, clean and modern showers, convenient communal kitchen & lounge area. The only thing not thought about is a change room, so when you want to get into your PJ's you have to go to the shower block to change, and there is not much room there! Overall very good, all the fellow PODsters were nice.

Perfect for a few nights stay, where I just needed a bed to sleep after busy days .
The kitchen / communal area and bathrooms were clean and serviceable .
I would recommend Pod inn for anyone wanting a no fuss , self sufficient approach to sleep and move on

Overall, it was very nice, but there were a lot of people in the common areas at night. Apparently, many of the guests from the restaurant next door were directed to the hotel's common space.
Not recommended for those who want to relax in the common space.

The pod was spotless. It was different not being able to see out once you shut the door but it was private. Perhaps the only thing I would have liked was for someone to show me my pod and a few words of explanation rather than just give me the keys. Otherwise the staff were very helpful and the communial areas were spotless.
