I´d rather prefer to live in a tent than to stay in a capsule. I have traveled and stayed in a five-star hotel, also in budget motels . When you are young to stay in a hibernation pod it could also be part of the fun, but at my age I need not only amenities, space is a must..

I have never seen the capsule hotel, but I can bear living in the hibernation pod. It’s very interesting.

Though I’m not really into cramp places, I think I could deal with a capsul hotel. It looks like a small tent which you sleep in when you’re travelling the mountains and the forests. Besides it has all the facilities you may need. And you economy with it, too. So it’s great!
