Capsule Hotels
Capsule hotels originating from Japan are a new trend of quirky and affordable stays. Their compact design allows many people to stay in the same room, but with the added privacy of fully closing doors. The sleeping pods have enough space for a good night's sleep, but large personal belongings are stored below the capsules.
