A London hotel is now offering capsule beds starting at £35.82 per night, providing an alternative to traditional rooms. Reporter Christopher Sharp visited the Zedwell Piccadilly Circus, where guests stay in compact Cocoons resembling small, windowless boxes. While the location offers proximity to popular London attractions and a budget-friendly option, some concerns were raised about the unfinished state of the hotel.
Guests can check in easily at the hotel, despite ongoing construction work, and access their designated Cocoons with a key card. The rooms feature basic amenities like slippers and secure storage. However, the overall condition of the facilities left something to be desired, with Christopher noting issues like incomplete bathrooms and visible construction areas.
Although the Cocoon layout was described as surprisingly spacious and functional, the experience of sleeping in such a confined space was challenging. Despite the low cost attracting a diverse crowd of guests, including business travelers and tourists, some may find the lack of privacy and cramped quarters less than ideal. The hotel management acknowledged ongoing improvements to enhance guest experiences and value feedback for future enhancements.
Prices for the capsule rooms vary by date, with the cheapest option currently available at £35.82 per night. Additional services like towel hire are available for a small fee. For those interested in this unique accommodation experience, booking details can be found on Zedwell’s official website.
