I voted "No" because I'm really claustrophobic.  I think I would really freak out just getting into one of those capsules for even a few minutes, let alone a whole night.  Yikes!

Yes, I would love to try it.
We talked about those maybe a year ago in the 1000+ posts thread. Those with the opening the long side remind me a bit of coffins.




But that wouldn't stop me. I would really like to try it. I think it's a very good idea and they should be available at every airport.

My answer was NO.  I'm too claustrophobic.

Yes!  I agree with Shasta that it actually looks kind of cozy.  As long as I have a light so I can read a book, I'm usually a happy camper.  And the internet connection is the cherry on top!

No, I would rather prowl the terminal, maybe meet some people, do some people-watching, and sleep another time.

I´d try it. I actually like the idea that you have your own little space. When you stay in a ordinary hostel there´s really no privacy, but this looks cozy.
I´ve tried something similar in London once, but them "boxes" were made out of wood.

I can´t help but to wonder what Ennis and Jack would think of these, though ;D
Maybe they wouldn´t ever complain about The Siesta motel again, after having tried to get it on in one of these :laugh:

You mean these?




I would have booked a bed there, but both times I went to London my friends preferred a double room.

They would shake their heads and think of eggs from battery chickens.

Oh, I'm sure they never complained about the Siesta anyway. :laugh:
