    I could see these being wonderful near hospitals where people need somewhere to go sleep and shower if they are taking care of someone in the hospital. Regular hotels are just too expensive for someone to get a few hours sleep. And at an airport was genius!

    honestly capsule hotels in airports makes SO much sense. i'm from the US and travel kinda often and the only time i've seen a hotel in an airport was in the detriot airport (i think?) and even though it was a normal hotel its such a great idea. it had it's own little security area for people who were returning back into the airport

    Again, not a capsule :D It's just a tiny room. In real capsule hotels you only get a bed, and while other spaces are all shared, they're very clean and spacious (talking about Japan, ofc).

    I've stayed in that capsule Hotel and hated it, the purple light and air con gave me a headache. Hated that there was no 'escape' i.e. window, and the reason the bed is so high is the next-door room the bed is literally underneath yours.
    I booked it the night before an early flight and booked it on the way back. I couldn't face it again so I cancelled and stayed at the other hotel inside the airport. It was lovely, tiny but luxurious with a massive window overlooking the runway and only £25 more! xx

    Grace!! Have you ever stayed in a hostel with multiple beds in the room? The biggest + worst I've stayed in was 24 beds per room (I had top bunk), 5ish rooms per floor, 4 floors, communal bathrooms with showers that only ran while you pushed them, and a club next door so you basically couldn't sleep because it was so loud... That was in Barcelona and I wouldn't recommend lol. But I know there are some classy + affordable hostels in London with 4-8 beds per room and more comfortable conditions! Also the cheapest way to travel.
