Definition about Capsule Hotel.

Japanese hotel (called Capseru Hoteru) that rents box-like sleeping compartments (typically 6 x
3 x 3 feet) near airports and railway stations as cheap alternative to rooms to overnight guests. It
is usually a 'men only' establishment, and each compartment is commonly equipped with an
alarm, fan, radio/tv, and curtain. In addition to a fully made-up bed, the amenities include
slippers, night robe, and a towel (for bathing in the hotel shower).
Where do you find capsule hotels ?
The guest room is a modular plastic or fiberglass block roughly 2 by 1 by 1.25 m (6 ft 7 in by
3 ft 3 in by 4 ft 1 in). Facilities differ, but most include a television, an electronic console,
and wireless internet connection. The capsules are stacked side-by-side, two units high, with
steps providing access to the second level rooms, leading to comparisons to corpse drawers in
a morgue.
The benefit of these hotels is convenience and low price, usually around ¥2000-4000 (USD 18-
37) a night.
