A hotel in central London is offering capsule beds starting at £35.82 per night. These capsule accommodations, named ‘Cocoons,’ provide a unique sleeping experience. Reporter Christopher Sharp visited the Zedwell Piccadilly Circus and shared his initial thoughts on the compact sleeping spaces. Despite the low cost and prime location near popular London attractions, Sharp found the hotel premises to be under construction, describing them as “unfinished and tired.”
The check-in process at Zedwell was straightforward, with 24-hour availability for guests. Each capsule comes equipped with a key card, lock, compostable slippers, and basic amenities. However, Sharp noted some maintenance issues within the hotel, including unfinished areas and visible construction work.
Although the price point attracted a diverse crowd of guests, including business travelers, tourists, and theatergoers, Sharp suggested that there might be better options available for a more comfortable stay. The hotel’s spokesperson mentioned ongoing improvements to enhance guest experience and address any feedback received.
Despite the unique design features of the capsules, such as built-in lighting, mirrors, and charging ports, Sharp found the sleeping experience to be challenging due to the confined space. He concluded that while the hotel offers an interesting experience, it may not be the best choice for those seeking comfort and privacy, unless they prioritize budget and location over room quality.
Zedwell Capsule Hotel Piccadilly Circus aims to provide a novel accommodation concept, with prices starting at £35.82 per night. Additional amenities, such as towel rental and women’s dorm options, are available at an extra cost. Guests can check prices and make reservations on Zedwell’s official website.
