  • With hotel prices very high, I decided to aim low, and stay at a capsule hotel for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised with the Space Night Capsule Hostel. Perhaps the location wasn't as convenient as some hotels, but it served it's purpose, and I left impressed.

    Best thumbnail ever :D and thanks for showing us! Looks like a bargain to me and I'd definitely consider it.

    That surprised me. Maybe I was fooled by the camera, but it looked bigger than expected. And nice with a closed bathroom. I could definitely use this for one night.

    The U-bahn station by the Reichstag is called "Bundestag". Hotel prices in Berlin tend to rise significantly when there is an event in the city.... October is the time for the "Festival of Lights" and 2022's show was disappointing due to the energy cut-backs. For a European capital city, Berlin hotel prices are usually very reasonable. Wasn't aware of the capsule hotel but think I'll stick to a conventional hotel on future visits!

    Thumbs up for you sir, but thumbs down for this Malthusian Hotel. It should be illegal! It promotes the Malthusian concept! I would understand if it was like 10-20 Euros a night, but at 55? EVIL!

    A very informative video Scott, I knew there were capsule hotels / Pods in Japan but I didn't know they had them in Berlin. As Paul Young once sang "Wherever I Lay My Hat" (That's My Home) Certainly beats sleeping in a Bivie! Looking forward to your next adventure 👍

    I wonder why they don’t have capsules hotels in U.K.. I still wouldn’t pay €55 a night. I Japan they are the cheapest apart from internet cafes.

    I stayed in the Space Hotel in Vienna just near Praterstern station and the Prater amusement park and it was a fantastic experience, the pod was so cool and much more comfortable than a bunk in a backpacker hostel. And there was a Lidl just around the corner for a cheap croissant and coffee in the morning, what more could you want.

  • @broomybank

    Thanks for this Scott, good to know that this is an option. Was all accommodation expensive because of special events or is Berlin getting more expensive generally?

  • @chrisstratton320

    Whilst true Berlin hotel prices have gone up post covid, they're still cheap in comparison to London, Amsterdam + Paris.

    Thanks, Scott! You have the happy knack of making us feel that we're there with you (except for in the shower of course!...) The "hostel" looks pretty good though, and very clean. There'll be worse places to stay.

      I remember staying at a capsule hotel in Japan once. Not a great experience. It was very hot and there was a small tv inside the capsule that played porn on it. The headphones socket didn’t work so people around me could hear the porn being played on the tv. I know Japanese well enough to have heard some Japanese guy calling me an idiot. That was my first and last time in a capsule

      Totally agree. When he said ‘insane prices’ then said €70 I’m thinking to myself…..ok. That’s hardly insane in Berlin. That’s good. Even €90.

    Ok. I don’t consider €70 for a basic (assume you mean Premier Inn standard) hotel that expensive. And certainly not in Berlin. But each to their own.

    Blue lights in America on trains - were normal for sleeping passengers. People all react differently to them.
    Check out GLoves Trains on RUclips - she did a capsule hotel in the UK stay - which was almost a full sized room - window-less in plastic..
    I think a couple might do nicely in your capsule hotel space!
