| Time Capsule Hotel, Penang |
It was one of the best holidays. I was excited to experience a night in the minimalist futuristic-looking hotel. It had a "I'm in a spaceship" kind of feeling. A great chap named Jason handled our reservations. Patient, kind and friendly, he was our go-to guy for food and sightseeing suggestions.
We were each given a keycard and a bag containing one towel, bottled water and headphones. I collected a pair of slippers from the small shoe locker beside the lift before heading up to the floor where our 'capsules' were and was impressed with what I saw - cosy, neat and clean! It comes with a shared bathroom. There were sufficient shower cubicles, hairdryers and toilets.

I kept my backpack in the large locker located in front of my sleeping chamber, swiping my keycard onto the one with my capsule number to release the lock. The place was quiet with well-behaved guests. I was thrilled to be there.

The hotel is located within walking distance from many touristy areas and at night, the street is quite happening with bars and restaurants lighting the area up. Night owls we were not, so we were back in the hotel 9pm-ish.
After a shower and getting into comfortable clothes, I plonked myself onto the lower capsule, plugged my keycard in to power up the space and closed the shutter. The blue lights were definitely my favourite feature! It added to the whole being in a spaceship feel.

I spent nearly an hour fiddling around with the controls from lighting, aircon to TV before I dozed off but it was a restless night as I couldn't contain my enthusiasm - the day's activities playing over and over in my mind. It was 2am, then 3am and soon, 5am! I got up to shower, deciding sleep was a lost cause. Haha. It was zombie Sharon on the loose in Penang that day!

A restless night in capsule hotel :-))
ReplyDeleteYes, I really need to sleep in a boring old hotel to get a good night's rest ..haha!! This was too happening. ^.^
DeleteOh my! So futuristic. What a wonderful experience, Sharon. You are so lucky!!
ReplyDeleteUsually I hardly have good night sleep when I am on holiday. Probably missing my own comfy bed. Haha.
I guess so, Rose. Must be the rush too! ^.^
DeleteWow! I love the photos you shared. I saw many capsules in Japan but this futuristic one is marvelous. I never had the chance to stay in Japan as they either catered to same gender only while those with separated genders in same building are not available in the towns I visited. Their shared bathrooms there are all dipping inside onsens only. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI might want to try this one in Penang and probably get sleepless night like you. Muahahahaha
Go for it, TM! It's a good place to meditate ..turn the lights down, reflect on life ..kakaka ^.^
DeleteI don't think I could do it! Too small a space - I'd feel trapped.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is that. :)
DeleteInteresting, but... a little claustrophobic.
ReplyDeleteYea .. especially when we're not used to sleeping in such small quarters. ;)
DeleteDont think I can even last a second. Claustrophobia.
ReplyDeleteLol!! I can handle this for a night.
