Booking

Before you arrive

How do I book?

Directly on each property's page — each address has its own Cloudbeds booking link. Secure online payment, instant email confirmation.

What's the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before arrival. After that, the first night is charged. Group bookings (10+ people) follow specific terms.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The displayed price includes hotel taxes, bedding, Wi-Fi, digital locker, coffee and showers. Nothing extra at checkout.

Do you accept payment plans?

For stays over 7 nights or group bookings, yes — contact us to set up a schedule.

The stay

At the hotel

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am. Reception is open 24/7 — late arrival or early departure is no problem.

Is there a minimum age?

18 to book. Minors are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian (capsule assigned next to or grouped on the same booking).

Are pets allowed?

Not in the capsules, for hygiene and out of respect for other travelers. Service dogs are of course welcome.

Do you have parking?

No on-site parking — we're downtown. Several public and private lots within walking distance, and metro stations under 5 minutes from each address.

Is breakfast included?

Free coffee and tea all day. For breakfast, we recommend our partner cafés and bakeries in the neighborhood — list available at the front desk.

The capsule

The experience

Is it claustrophobic?

Our capsules are wider than traditional Japanese ones — designed for North American travelers. You can sit up comfortably, stretch your arms. Curtain open, it feels like a cabin opening into the room.

Can you hear the neighbors?

Soundproofing is serious — much better than a standard hotel room. The capsule blocks ambient noise and conversations, not 3 a.m. shouting (which is rare).

Are there power outlets?

Yes: USB, USB-C and a universal plug at every capsule's headboard. Charge your laptop, phone and power bank at the same time.

Are capsule floors mixed?

Some floors are mixed, others women-only — you choose at booking. Every floor has individual showers and toilets.

Where do I put my luggage?

Every booking includes a digital locker (PIN code) outside the capsule, big enough for a carry-on. Larger bag storage at the front desk on request.

Groups & long stays

Booking for many

How do I book for a group?

For 10+ people, use our groups page — quote form, tiered pricing, centralized billing.

Can we rent the whole property?

Yes, depending on dates. Floor or full-property buyouts available for productions, retreats, weddings. Contact relations@capsuleshotels.com.

Are there long-stay rates?

Capsule Residence (Bishop) offers weekly and monthly packages, ideal for interns, students, nomads. See the Bishop page for details.
