Hotel Experience: The Capsule Hotel, Sydney

Something new for me is the concept of a Capsule Hotel, one business has set up in central Sydney not far from the Chinatown in the Central Business District.
It was quite cost effective, in a good location. Is it for everyone? Probably not, however here's a look at something that could take Australia's biggest cities as a new travel fad!
My thoughts and experience are on display here in this video, and I hope this helps anyone planning to visit Sydney, Australia and anyone considering using a Capsule Hotel!

Man this is crazy, love it!

I wonder if you and Alicja will now look at trying something like this if you head Eastward on a future trip? 😁

I am very intrigued to see this !! I am Japanese, we started this back in the 80's !! Lol. It was for " salary men "= business men & college students who missed their trains after drinking ,etc. Nowadays ,there are so many in Japan & other countries !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

We don't really have these in Europe so much, but its nice to see Australia is experimenting with them, it has a decent holiday market that would make good use of these.

You may have said it but how many showers were there? Decent amount of space in the capsule.
I was comparing it to a hostel and it looks good 👍

[@JettTyler17]

There were two showers. But they were shared between everyone, so you'd have to wait your turn. I found there to be enough space for me, but anyone over 6ft tall might have a differing opinion.

That's doesn't sound like a good ratio. I guess with people coming and going at different times it might work out.@@JettTyler17

Where dya put your luggage mate? Was it fit enough in the locker?

[@JettTyler17]

I kept it in the locker, my baggage fit in there fine, but I was travelling light for an Australia trip!

[@arah6783]

😮😮😮 it doesn’t lock! There kinda scary

[@JettTyler17]

It was declared on the website and the booking page before you make the booking, so its something that you can weigh up. The locker for your bags & stuff is locked using a keycard.

How do you check in?

[@JettTyler17]

There's a manned reception. You check in as you would in a normal hotel.

EMMMMMMMMMMMM NO ! WHEN I WANNA SLEEP IN A COFFIN I.LL BE DEAD !!!!!!!

[@JettTyler17]

These things have a place in the travel industry, but they're not for everyone, that's for sure
