For Harrison Jacobs (Business Insider), the Sleep hotel has an ideal location, beautiful design, but the downside is the hot air and suffocating silence.
Sleep capsule hotel is located in the Sheung Wan neighborhood of Hong Kong, China. Photo: Stairs going up to the hotel. It seems a bit like looking for a secret passage. When you see sleep related messages, you are about to see this hotel. One of the best things about the hotel is that there is no reception or keys. You just need to move your hand outside the door. A QR code is sent to you on the day of check-in. Simply scan the QR code on the scanner below to open the hotel door. 11 o’clock at night. Everyone in the hotel is sleeping. The screen at the entrance displays a message welcoming guests to the hotel and offers some useful information. Guest shoes are on a bench under the door. The hotel has an area of 34m2, according to Lifestyle Asia. The light on the bed flickered when the guest checked in, but I didn’t detect it because the bed was in a row not visible from the entrance. My cabinet code is stuck. A dear friend helped me unlock it – she also had trouble entering the passcode. The locker holds a cup of water, a towel, enough space for a small suitcase, and places to hang clothes. But neither me nor my friend could fit the suitcase because it was too narrow. A large self-sliding door separates the public bathroom from the sleeping area. But every time it opens and closes, the noise squeaks. When you turn on the faucet to brush your teeth, you also need to be aware. After brushing my teeth, I go to bed. I put my Kindle, phone, laptop, and water bottle in my bed. The magnetic induction curtain closes. Each bedroom is covered with rounded wood panels, with lights and charging ports. I grabbed my laptop intending to send out a bedtime email, but as soon as I started typing, I knew I couldn’t work because I would wake other guests. I could hear everything in the hotel, water running from the faucet, someone sifting through lockers and opening and closing the bathroom. The Sleep Hotel provides headphones, reading lights and a sleeping mask. It feels more like a hostel than a hotel. The big benefit of staying in a hostel (aside from being inexpensive) is that you can easily meet other travelers. There is a pamphlet next to the bed with all the information about the hotel. I’m not ready to sleep yet. But there’s nothing to do. I was really excited because at least in the morning the shower was still hot. I feel terrible. The other guests also tried their best to be as quiet as possible.
