    So... lemme get this right...
    For £29 a night, you get a noisy, sweaty coffin that looks like it came from Wickes?
    For £43 a night, you get sweaty shipping container with Blade Runner vibes?
    For £112 a night, you get a train sleeper compartment for tall people with a crappy bed?
    Yeah.... think I'll just take my chances with a Travelodge. Thanks for taking one for the team, Ed!

    Some see and have also proposed the capsule hotel concept as a solution to the housing crisis because "they would be the future of rental housing" and "rents for smaller apartments would be more affordable" and "tenants currently want smaller apartments." However, I believe that living in rented capsule apartments is not healthy for people and mental health, because capsule hotels are not meant for permanent living, but for temporary overnight stays. And that's why I'm afraid of the plans to build rental apartments for the poor and students with a capsule hotel concept.

      @jfwfreo Před 16 dny

      Instead of copying capsule hotels, what we (as in countries like the UK, USA, Australia etc with housing problems) should be doing is copying those tiny apartments they have in Japan.
      Having seen many CZcams videos showing off such apartments I think they (if they did them properly) would be great for people who don't need a lot of space and don't own a lot of stuff.

      @@jfwfreo If the building costs can be kept low. In Finland, we tried mini-apartments and built a few apartment buildings with 10 and 15 square meter apartments as a test. But the rents of these mini-apartments rised so high that no one rents them for 700-900 euros a month, when you can rent a 30-square-meter apartment for 500 euros. Even the marketing of mini-apartments as luxury didn't attract residents to move into them.

      To be fair he didn't pay £100+ to stay in the coffin; third room doesn't compare to the first one. And airport hotels are very expensive so £112 is one of the cheapest rate. You pay for the convenience.

    I stayed at the Yotel in Heathrow a few years ago. If this one's anything like that one, the bed is that high because the stack these slightly higher up or lower down to maximise space. Someone will be sleeping in another bed just under yours. Their room will be at a lower level, so they're not sleeping on the floor or anything but it will make that room a bit more 'accessible' for non-youths.
