Cheap and cheerful capsule hotels attracting younger travellers

Sleeping pods can be a problem for folks with claustrophobia but for more adventurous folks, it’s a fun experience.

Cheap and cheerful capsule hotels are forever expanding from their Japanese cradle, including now in Milan, Italy where the tiny, stacked rooms are helping the city cope with exploding tourist numbers.

With no-fuss convenience for both the city and transport links, digital connectivity and a social side among their chief selling points, the capsule hotels target the Generation Y crowd.
