First introduced in Japan, capsule hotel also known as pod hotel, is a type of hotel that simplifies the average hotel experience to the very basics of what we need – a small room with space for people to rest.
It is basically a cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require the services offered by more conventional hotels.
So if you’re a minimalist who would like a good night's rest at rock-bottom prices, then a capsule hotel is the dream.
At first, some people scoff at the idea of sliding into such a tiny space to rest your weary body after a day of work or sightseeing, but nowadays, capsule hotels are, surprisingly, growing in popularity.
What’s more, today’s capsule hotels are sleek, stylish, and have all kinds of extras, slotted into the tiny spaces, just so you have more than you really need.
There are plenty of capsule hotels in Japan, and even all of over the world, but today, we are going to show you some of the best ones from Southeast Asia – behold!
