New: Capsule Hotels on Hostelz

We’ve added capsule hotels to Hostelz — making it easier to find this budget-friendly accommodation style alongside hostels.

Capsule hotels are especially popular in Asia and are a smart way to travel cheaper in places like Japan, South Korea, and beyond. They offer private sleeping pods in a shared space, combining privacy with hostel-style facilities.

In simple terms: a capsule hotel is like a fancy dorm — more private, still affordable.

You can now explore capsule hotels directly on Hostelz through dedicated city pages. Whether you’re planning a stay in Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, and other major cities, you’ll see capsule hotels listed where available and can compare them just like hostels.

This update helps travelers find more affordable options without changing how they search.

Hostelz continues to help you travel smarter — and sleep cheaper.
