Years of travel from the airport in and out, has been very strange, the train station more than a variety of hotels and hotels, why to the airport, is rare in the airport to open the hotel hotel? So, every time you fly at night flights are worried, landing very late subway basic stop, but also take a taxi to run to the city to live.
In recent years, in China's 2 major airports encountered 3 kinds of mini-sleeping pods like capsules, although it looks a little suffocating, the price is not cheap, but really solve the night landing in the morning to catch an early flight toss.
Here to show you the author in Xi'an Xianyang and Kunming Changshui International Airport to see the three capsule hotels located in the airport, to see what the author's field experience is a feeling, in your case, if the three options, which one you will choose.
➤ "Squint a little" sleep pod
To Shaanxi Xianyang International Airport, inadvertently found in the channel side of a peculiar row of distant view a bit like a rechargeable square cabin, written outside the dense English, each with a number, with a small window outside, into a look.
It turns out that this is the airport launched in the airport lobby set "squint a while" sleep cabin.
See an open door, walk into see, there are large and small rooms, originally divided into single and double rooms, open the door, the space is very small, one step to bed.
This is a single room, a single bed, a set of luggage, under the bed can lie down to put down a luggage compartment.
This is the twin bed, and you can watch TV on the wooden board under the foot side.
Then look at what is inside, this is the position of the head of the bed, in addition to the foot of the wall there is a TV, a nightstand at the head of the bed can put some miscellaneous things, and charging power, air conditioning.
Squint a while equipped with a bed, charging, air conditioning basic facilities, there are travelers passing curious in taking pictures.
People are most concerned about its price, look at the price list at the front desk of Xianyang Airport "squint a while": single room 50 yuan / hour, 240 yuan / night; double room 80 yuan / hour, 360 yuan / night, such a price, what do you think?
➤ "Pod" sleep pod
In Xianyang airport, also found a kind of sleep cabin, looks more interesting, this is called "pod cabin", allegedly, is another kind of "squint a while", it looks like a pod from a distance, and like a seat.
And look at another angle, inside the original is a bed, this bed is placed on both sides of the airport aisle, space than "squint a while" more narrow, just a bed position, do not know where to put the passenger luggage compartment shoes or something.
The top is open, if you close the top cover, is black with ventilation holes, there is a USB port, you can charge, but no TV and air conditioning, how does it look and feel?
No matter how much the price, you can accept such "pod pod"? In my case, too depressing, feel the heart can not stand.
Let's look at the price of pods, this is completely hourly beds, 50 yuan for 2 hours, 70 yuan for 3 hours, 90 yuan for 4 hours, 100 yuan for 5 hours, plus 10 yuan for each hour over 5 hours, which is relatively cheaper than the "squint" pods.
➤ "Mini" sleep pods
This is in Yunnan Kunming Changshui International Airport to see the "mini" sleep cabin, the author because the next morning at 7:00 to catch a flight lazy to go out to find a hotel, so a special experience.
This is more than the Xianyang airport squint a while and pods whether the appearance or interior, relatively appear to be a senior, is the upper and lower 2 floors can live 2 people, outside there are ladders can go up to 2 floors on.
That experience because of late arrival, the attendant said there is no vacancy on the first floor, can only stay on the second floor. The luggage compartment and shoes were placed outside the cabin door, and valuables were brought into the room for safekeeping.
What makes this one even more user-friendly is that there is a small public living room and a washroom for travelers at the front desk.
After paying the attendant to give a card, climb up the ladder, swipe the card from outside the hatch, drop a sound, the hatch automatically open, people have to crawl inside, inside like a hotel plug in the card to get electricity, the interior is a purple light.
Look at the interior of the mini-cabin "long" what kind, can be described as small, complete, in addition to a bed, on both sides of the bed, is a variety of basic living facilities, plug-in power, door lock switch, sleep switch, charging socket, air conditioning TV switch, etc., into the inside hatch closed, open the air conditioning, the temperature inside can still be.
As for soundproofing, the next door can be heard clearly with a louder phone call, and at night, from time to time, from which comes a burst of snoring. It may be the first time to live in such a room, there is like smothering yourself in a large tank, the second half of the night before drifting off to sleep.
Look at the price of this "mini-cabin", 2 hours 88 yuan, half-day room 130 yuan, full-day room 260 yuan, these prices have time period requirements.
From 240 RMB/night for "squint", to 50 RMB for 2 hours for "pod", to 260 RMB for "mini-capsule", if you choose one of the three, which one will you choose? If you go to the airport, will you stay in such a "capsule" hotel?
