I slept in a pod. It's comfortable and clean with electricity. But showering and dressing is difficult. The shower is small.

An incredible stay - now my go-to property in Tel Aviv. The hotel is modern and stylish and the pods are really well designed. You are less than a minute from the beach with views from the hotel.

I found the hotel acceptable. It is a very good location on the beach, basically the best location in Tel Aviv where everybody wants to be. It is very clean, they clean all the time. Very hi-tech. You get a capsule, not a room. It is spacious enough to sleep. There are chairs, tables and a couch next to the pod area. Showers are clean. They are definitely up to date with cleanliness and security. It feels very safe. There is no free coffee but they have hot and cold water available.

Fantastic!!!

War or no war; bombs or no bombs, O Pod expects its guests to stick to the reservation deadlines, else pay.

We had booked into O Pod Tel Aviv 13-16 June to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We arrived in Israel 10 June and in Jerusalem on 11 June. On the night of 12 June, still in Jerusalem, the Iran-Israel War broke out, making our onward trip to Tel-Aviv impossible. We contacted the hotel on 13 June to make a new arrangement. They undertook that we could arrange new dates for the three nights. Of course, it was not possible to know when the war will end AND TEL AVIV WAS BOMBED EVERY NIGHT, so we could not propose new dates. Only AFTER the war and after our friends around Israel had taken care of us, was it possible to suggest new dates for our reservation. On 26 June, we called O Pod Hotel to get new dates for our reservation. O Pod's response: "Our policy is that you are welcome to come to our hotel, but you will have to pay." We referred them to their undertaking of 13 June, repeated on 14 June, that they would, "If you want, we can change the date for tonight's reservation. Please let us know if so," (13 June). That night, Tel Aviv got heavily bombed and we remained in Jerusalem. The next day, we contacted O Pod again, and they said, "As we wrote yesterday, we can offer new dates for today's reservation," and later "You have to let us know ASAP," (14 June). All three nights were covered by these undertakings. No amount of arguing could interest them in the fact that it was war and their city, especially, was being bombed every night. They still insisted that we had to comply with their reservations policy, stonewalling with exactly the same words each time. The increasingly heated conversation ended with my promising that they will regret this. "No problem," they said. Their behaviour and attitude are a great shame, especially as my wife had been a guest in O Pod three years ago and had spoken very highly of the experience.
