What are capsule hotels?
Capsule hotels have arrived from the idea of fulfilling basic needs of people when they travel. They need a place to have a good night sleep, a clean bathroom, and peace. These all three things are provided by capsule hotels. This type of accommodation has replaced the idea of private single rooms and has given an alternative at lowest possible price. They look like an aircraft cockpit and are generally placed in the large hallway stacked in two layers. While some people think capsules are only made to sleep, these new types of hotels have evolved to give a luxurious experience with private baths, saunas and spacious lounges.
