MALAYSIA'S PIONEERING CAPSULE 

 

I featured the burgeoning hotel concept of capsules and pods in Thailand.  And look like the same is catching on in Malaysia, with its very first note-worthy Capsule transit hotel being set up at Malalysia's capital city Kuala Lumpur.  It is situated conveniently near the KLIA airport - which I was told was in line with the owner's concept of "transit guests" who may not stay the night, but just for a few hours' rest. 

 I love the edgy interior design

 

Because guests in transit come in and out at all hours, this hotel do not have any specific check in or check out times. However, there are a few creative rates available which are categorised into the hours you choose to stay or just shower:

 

 3 hours stay at RM45

6 hours stay at RM70 

 12 hours stay at RM90

 Clean modern bathrooms

 

Full board starts from RM100



Shower Only at RM15

Although the hotel is slightly bigger than 3000 sq ft in total area, it manages nearly 80 capsules - which are mostly rather small with one single bed.  I tried the bed even though I am not an overnight guest, and it was surprisingly comfortable - even if I were to stay overnight.   

 

 Be ready to be capsulated

 

Each well air-conditioned room is fitted with basic necessities of 2 pillows, hanger, power socket, reading light, phone with alarms, foldable table with mirror and personal locker. Privacy comes in the form of a blind, but ladies should not be worried as the rooms are separated into female and male areas -  although I have to caution that toilets and bath facilities are shared.  To add to its attractiveness to the trend-setter crowd, the materials used to separate the rooms are made of recycled container walls - kudos for saving the environment!  Other amenities include shower towels and slippers, free WiFi and communal lounge with TV.

Various drinks are available at the Capsule bar and you can book a Capsule room from AsiaTravel, Booking, Traveloka, or Agoda.

NOTE:
