Four houses stand in this section, each built around compact cabins instead of standard rooms. Washing, storage and sitting space are moved out of the cabin and onto shared floors, which is what shapes a stay in all four. Every one of them is a single address of a wider chain, and each entry says so, because it describes one house and not a group.
The repeating plan that houses of compact cabins are built on.
nine hours Kanazawa is one address of a Japanese chain of capsule houses, and this entry describes that address rather than the group. The plan divides a stay into sleeping, washing and waiting: capsules on their own floors, a shower floor apart from them, and lockers and a shared area where luggage and clothing are kept.
The location
The house stands in central Kanazawa, within reach of the station on one side and the older merchant and garden districts on the other. Streets around it carry shops, food places and offices, so the setting is a working part of the city rather than a visitor quarter. Buses through the centre stop within a short walk.
Worth knowing
A capsule is for sleeping only, and everything else happens on the shared floors, which are usually separated by sex. Luggage goes in lockers rather than the capsule. Arrival, departure and access hours are set tightly by the chain, so read the house rules for this address before you arrive.

First Cabin Midosuji Namba
Osaka, Japan
Summary
Cabins of a ship-like plan give First Cabin Midosuji Namba its shape, with compartments arranged along corridors and a shared bathing floor serving the house. It is one address of a Japanese chain, and this entry covers that address alone. Cabins come in more than one size, and the larger ones stand higher and give more room around the bed.
The location
The house sits on Midōsuji, the main avenue running through central Osaka, in the Namba district at the southern end of the city centre. Around it are covered shopping streets, restaurants and theatres, and subway stations lie within a short walk in several directions. The area stays busy well into the night.
Worth knowing
Cabins are closed with a screen rather than a locked door, so valuables belong in the lockers provided. Bathing floors are shared and separated by sex, with their own hours. Cabin types differ, and so do the rules attached to them, which is worth checking with this address before booking.

easyHotel Amsterdam Arena Boulevard
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Summary
Narrow rooms of one pattern, set on both sides of a corridor, make up easyHotel Amsterdam Arena Boulevard. It is one address of a European chain, and the entry describes this house rather than the group. Rooms are compact and stripped back, with services offered separately, and the shared parts of the house are kept small on purpose.
The location
The hotel stands in the Zuidoost district, on the boulevard beside the stadium and the concert halls, south-east of the city centre. Trains and the metro run from the station next to the site into central Amsterdam in around a quarter of an hour. Shops, cinemas and event venues fill the streets immediately around the building.
Worth knowing
Rooms are small and much the same as one another, and extras that other hotels include are charged for or simply absent here. Event nights at the stadium change the character of the area completely. Check what is and is not included with this address, and whether an event falls on your dates.

Pod 51
New York, United States
Summary
Pod 51 works on compact rooms in a Midtown Manhattan building, with a shared roof terrace above them. It belongs to a small group that runs other addresses in the city, and this entry describes the East Side house. Some rooms have their own bathroom and some use shared facilities on the floor, which is the main division in the plan.
The location
The house stands on the East Side of Midtown, in a block of older buildings a few streets from the main north to south avenues. Grand Central and the subway lines that meet there are within walking distance, and the United Nations and the river lie east. The immediate streets are residential and quiet by Midtown standards.
Worth knowing
The difference between rooms with private bathrooms and rooms with shared ones is the thing to settle first, since it changes the stay more than size does. The terrace is shared and depends on weather and hours. Confirm the room type and the terrace arrangements with this address before booking.

Please note
Zenerios is an independent reference site. Each house described here belongs to a chain that runs other addresses, and arrangements differ between them, so nothing on this page should be read as covering the group. Public sources change, the site is connected to no operator, and it sells nothing and takes no bookings. Confirm the details that matter with the house itself.
