Capsule offers no benefit over regular bunk beds. I’ve been in both but I try to avoid capsule now. You don’t even save that much space, people still need to get in and out of their space anyways. But getting to your bed from the short end is just a damn hassle

I’ve always hated paying $150 or whatever for a full room (or suite) during a road trip late at night when all I do is crash out on the bed and then get up and drive first thing the next morning.

But I prefer having the walls around me if I’m honest.

I sleep in my car, often. If I drive until 2 am, and have to be back on the road around 8, I don’t see the point in spending a bunch of dough.
If I was home, I’d probably be sleeping in my TV chair anyway.

I wish I could do that but I drive a roadster. Absolutely no fucking way to stretch out comfortably.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Yeah, a full stretch out doesn’t really work in my van, either, but I can deal with it for a few hours. I can see where a roadster would be absolutely impossible.

At least your getting good gas mileage.
Lol I get about 16-18 mpg. 6-cylinder engines ain’t fuel efficient even when they’re jammed into a go-kart. For bonus points, the damned thing takes 93 octane.

Weirdly, the capsule hotels tend to be more expensive than traditional hostels, and that’s for 150 dudes in a room.

I assume part of it is the novelty + influencers will pay anything for a few more clicks.

Maybe, but the couple I stayed in were mostly 30-50 year olds traveling for business.

in japan or in the US?

Japan, compared to traditional hostels in Japan, which can be quite nice. I didn’t know there were capsules in the US.
