pod hotels
Tiny sleeping compartments
Pod hotels are budget accommodations featuring small, capsule-like sleeping compartments instead of traditional rooms.
Originating in Japan, where they maximize space in dense urban areas, pod hotels typically offer just enough room for a bed and basic amenities, with shared bathrooms and common areas.
They appeal to travelers who prioritize location and price over privacy: We stayed at a pod hotel near the airport for our layover.
