Capsule Hotel at SVO

Has anyone used the Capsule Hotel at SVO? It seems to have tiny rooms (c. 7.5 sqm) but if they're clean and not too noisy it's just what I need for a six-hour sleep. Has anyone tried those rooms?

Yes I have a number of times. Very clean, safe, quiet, and great for sleep. The private toilet/shower with even the smallest room is a wonderful benefit. Booking them in advance during the summer might be best. I've checked on them a few times this summer and the smallest rooms are always booked when I walk up to ask.

Sounds good, woody125! How can I book a room? I did search for an on-line booking form but couldn't find one in English. The same goes for the rates - how much is a six or eight-hour stay? Thank you!

Yea once you figure out what Placing means, it all follows.

As for price, wait till you eat or drink something outside of the lounges...

True that is. Never said it was cheap OP. It is convenient though. Enjoy!

The online booking tool in English only books double rooms, costing a lot more than the single rooms. Very clever really.

Just email them to make a manual booking for a single room, and save yourself the money. They replied to me in English within 3 hours with a confirmed booking to print off
