What To Know Before Booking a Capsule Hotel

Capsule hotels are pretty neat. You essentially get your own pod, which should fit you and a couple of portable amenities inside of it. But there are a few things you should consider before booking a capsule hotel and here they are.

The Length Of The Pods

Not all pods are built the same. If you are above average height, you may find fitting inside one of the pods difficult. Most of them are built to accommodate people who are roughly six feet tall. If you are over six feet, you may not be able to lay flat inside your pod. 

Luggage Size

Many capsule hotels are designed with small luggage in mind. Some hotels only offer lockers that can fit carry-on size luggage. If you are traveling with large suitcases, or backpacks you may not be able to store your luggage at all capsule hotels. Always ask what size luggage the hotel has room to store.

Keep Quiet

As all of the capsules are stacked on top of each other and next to one another, any kind of loud noise is not tolerated. If you are planning to stay in a pod, you must be willing to be quiet, and simply use it as an area to rest or do quiet activities.
