Welcome back to the hospitality blog, today we will talk about capsule hotels. This accommodation type is certainly not for everyone, but the benefit of these hotels is their convenience and low price. Some hotels also provide restaurants, snack bars, pools, and other entertainment facilities. Many capsule hotels go the extra mile to attract guests and have very interesting offerings, discover more in the video…

Cool overview! I didn’t know it originated from Osaka. I’ve never stayed in a capsule hotel before. Might try one in future!
Thank you Nicole! Yes, it is a Japanese concept.. There are some good ones worth visiting 🙂
I enjoy your videos so much!! The capsule hotels are very interesting but I’m afraid to try them since I am uncomfortable in small spaces 🙁
Thank you Bianca, so nice to hear! Yes, such hotels are definitely not for everybody!
I knew they had this concept in Japan, but didn’t know this concept existed in Switzerland! Love your video, top-notch!
In the last few years, such concept was developing quickly here too. Good cheap option for those who only use rooms for sleep.. Thank you for your comment!
