If you are looking for a simple place to stay for a few nights, a capsule(胶囊) hotel might be a good choice. Providing small rooms and just a few basic services, these hotels can help people save lots of money.
What do the rooms in capsule hotels look like? The rooms are usually the size of a bed. They are very small, but they have enough space for you to sit up on the bed. Rooms in capsule hotels are usually side by side and on top of one another. So, if you are staying on the top level, you have to use a ladder to climb into your room. There are also curtains( 帘布) for you when you' re sleeping. Although there's little you can do inside your room apart from ( 除了……还 ) sleeping, capsule hotels usually provide other services. Shared bathrooms and dining areas are available (可提供的) for you to use.
The first capsule hotel appeared in Osaka, Japan in 1979. Many Japanese loved the idea, so more capsule hotels opened all over the country. From there, capsule hotels spread to several other countries such as India and Iceland. China has also seen a rise in the number of such hotels in recent years. And they are quite popular with young people.
Many experts(专家) believe capsule hotels will become more popular as time goes by. What do you think?
