my comment : Having been through the experience of not having a room to sleep in during the night , i think for a lot of people who dont have money to pay for a youth hostel , or who cant find a hotel bed space ;;;;; a capsule is a great idea ........
A capsule hotel (Japanese: カプセルホテル, romanized: kapuseru hoteru), also known as a pod hotel, is a type of hotel developed in Japan that features a large number of small bed-sized rooms known as capsules. Capsule hotels provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require or who cannot afford larger, more expensive rooms offered by more conventional hotels
The guest room is a chamber roughly the length and width of a single bed, with sufficient height for a hotel guest to crawl in and sit up on the bed. The chamber walls may be made of wood, metal or any rigid material, but are often fibreglass or plastic. Amenities within the room generally include a small television, air conditioning, an electronic console, and power sockets. The capsules are stacked side-by-side, two units high, with steps or ladders providing access to the second level rooms, similar to bunk beds. The open end of the capsule can be closed with a curtain or a solid door for privacy, but cannot be locked.[1]
Like a hostel, many amenities are communally shared, including toilets, showers, wireless internet, and dining rooms. In Japan, a capsule hotel may have a communal bath and sauna. Some hotels also provide restaurants, snack bars or bars (or at least vending machines), pools, and other entertainment facilities. There may be a lounge with upholstered chairs for relaxing, along with newspapers and reading material.[2]
Capsule hotels vary in size, from fifty or so capsules to 700, and primarily cater to men.[3] Some capsule hotels offer separate sections for male and female guests, or even separate floors and separate elevators. Clothes and shoes are exchanged for a yukata and slippers on entry, and a towel and bathrobe may also be provided. Luggage and valuables are usually stored in lockers or — if available — in-room safes.[1] Guests are asked not to smoke or eat in the capsules.[4]
