I Stayed In Every Capsule Hotel in Britain

"What would my dream capsule look like?" *turns it into a hotel room*

So... lemme get this right... For £29 a night, you get a noisy, sweaty coffin that looks like it came from Wickes? For £43 a night, you get sweaty shipping container with Blade Runner vibes? For £112 a night, you get a train sleeper compartment for tall people with a crappy bed? Yeah.... think I'll just take my chances with a Travelodge. Thanks for taking one for the team, Ed!

The first one looked like a slumlord's idea of a capsule hotel

The purple of the gatewick just makes it feel like a dystopian Premier Inn, where they would have a robotic Lenny Henry behind the front desk

For the one in Gatwick, I think the bed is so high is because you got the "top bunk" so to speak, the room next to you will get the "bottom bunk".

The first one was basically a dog kennel with a mattress.

It's kind of funny how the simple addition of inexpensive things like different coloured lights and a fancy fan control immediately makes someone feel as if the accommodation is more luxurious!

Fair play, the first ad read I’ve sat through and not skipped forward 😂

That wasn't a breakfast it was more like a kids pack lunch 😂

It's like sleeping in an MRI machine, but with higher amounts of radiation.

You could sleep in a washing machine at a laundromat and be more comfortable. This is very funny. You have me hooked.

I stayed at the Yotel in Heathrow a few years ago. If this one's anything like that one, the bed is that high because the stack these slightly higher up or lower down to maximise space. Someone will be sleeping in another bed just under yours. Their room will be at a lower level, so they're not sleeping on the floor or anything but it will make that room a bit more 'accessible' for non-youths.

Some see and have also proposed the capsule hotel concept as a solution to the housing crisis because "they would be the future of rental housing" and "rents for smaller apartments would be more affordable" and "tenants currently want smaller apartments." However, I believe that living in rented capsule apartments is not healthy for people and mental health, because capsule hotels are not meant for permanent living, but for temporary overnight stays. And that's why I'm afraid of the plans to build rental apartments for the poor and students with a capsule hotel concept.

You made the sponsorship actually engaging and funny and relevant to the video well done lol

I thought id seen it all with the knife and fork for food but an APPLE 😂😂😂 great video again bud keep it up.

The Gatwick Central Travelodge which I stay at regularly for work is like £60 a night most nights lmao

Jeez, that last one is insane. I stayed in a single hotel room with a TV and a private shower, sink, and toilet four minutes on a bus from Gatwick airport for £50 the night before a flight. It also had free breakfast, but I didn't get to eat it as my flight was too early. I then stayed in a private room in capsule hostel in Malaga and I had loads of space for £20 a night. That hostel was so lovely.

“The naughty chair” Thanks for the laughs.

Waking up in the middle of the night forgetting for a few seconds where you were - capsule accommodation, stuff of nightmares!

That first one looks like a bloody dogs kennel been lobbed together with some cheap ass mdf... 😐😐😐😐

Ed just out here pissing people off cutting an apple with knife and fork 😂

I watched loads of videos of Japanese capsule hotels (and train sleeping compartments) a couple of years ago. (They're relaxing, don't judge me! 😂) And if I'd had to guess what a British version would be like, the first one you stayed at was definitely that!

£29 a night to sleep in a glorified coffin lol

what a dystopian nightmare

"There's a skid mark in the toilet and it isn't even mine!" That had me proper cocking misen laughing mate. 😂

Might be interesting to go back in the winter and see what the temperature is like then

5:14 Full of Gregg’s Sausage Rolls 😂

A vision of a swan in a puddle saying ‘better get a Travelodge’ just popped into my mind while watching this. 😅

The first one literally did look like a coffin! Who eats an apple with a knife & fork😂😂😂 ed you legend!

Capsule hotels are a good idea if they're actually cheap, but in practice all that going to happen is they're going to charge regular prices for a capsule pod and then raise the price for a proper hotel.

I dunno who is paying £100+ to stay in a coffin when they can just go to a hotel.

I’ve never slept in one and now don’t want to 😂

There is no way in hell, I'd stay in any of them. Props to you for doing it.

Fantastic video as always Ed. You soon put the shower gel amd shampoo in their place! I love your honesty, and the fact you are so humorous without even trying! Thank you, and keep them coming x

"I'll have the Bela Lugosi suite, please!"

Entertaining video and useful review. I enjoyed learning about the uk’s capsule hotels and might give the second one a go in the future (during winter when I want my room to be warm)

The last one didn't look too bad but wouldn't pay that price 😂

I love the whole capsule idea. They just need to get it right. The warmth would put me off though. Good vid and most random breakfast 🤣

Absolutely loved this, and by coincidence I stayed in cabin no. 28 at Gatwick earlier this week but just on a minimum 4 hour layover. But I had a low bed. It was also bloody freezing in there. But fun! As for having a plunge pool in your dream cabin, LOL, you legend! ❤❤❤

You randomly popped up on my recommended, and I am glad I clicked on the video. You are super funny and have a cool style to your editing/storytelling. Good job. You got a new subscriber 😊

I had an anxiety attack just watching the first one. I am not mentally ready for a capsule hotel.

"You're just a soap" - truth! :D

When you were reading the labels on them bottles you gave off A Broud in Japan vibes when he reads terrible Japanese English... 😆 😂

I stayed in a Yotel in Schiphol between flights. One of the best night's sleep I ever had. I had a bottom bunk though...

Hi Ed I have only just found this channel in last month. Absolutely loving it going through all your old stuff £ coming your way 😉 I found this video very interesting. I did prefer the last one as it had the toilet and shower in the room I'm a very light sleeper so no windows is excellent. Anyway keep up the good work thanks dan👍

For the price, I would pick the middle one if it had a better air conditioner. The airport one was definitely the nicest, especially with the private toilet & shower, but I'm not sure it's worth it unless you need to be at the airport for some reason. They missed a trick by not offering that freeze-dried astronaut ice cream though 😂

If I wasn't claustrophobic when I went in one of those, I would be when I came out!

you need to try the Premier inn Hub Hotels see what they are like

Great video Ed. Ive been interested in these capsule hotels since i saw Clive James stay in one, when he visited Japan. 😊Kx

First one was a coffin for living people😂

I'd be interested in knowing the Carbon Dioxide levels in them, especially the first one.

The last one was like afirst class airplane or train experience and your humour was very funny 😂

ed is back with the bangers ‼️🙌 love you ed, mate you’re so comedic and you really do have talent and funny sense to make me come back to watch more :) love you man keep it up

The Gatwick one looks useful if you have a very early flight. Thanks for this, i am planning a holiday & it;s useful to know

Your comedic timing in this one was extra on point 😂 you're awesome

You should stay in the shipping container hotel next! More of Ed being a guinea pug! Haha.

Can literally get a full fry up and a cuppa for 6 pound where I am 😂😂🤦‍♀️

Great videos Ed! 😊

You charmer you! .....The apple cutting was my fave scene 🔪🍎👌

Love this channel great video as always ❤

You earned a sub with that 20 second ice cream interlude 😂

I stayed at a capsule hotel in Kyiv Ukraine. Great experience. It looked a bit like the first one in this video (wooden) , but built a bit better. No fan , but the temperature inside the whole building was perfect. All in , it was $12 USD for the night Would happily stay there again.

When you couldn't get up onto the 4 ft bed in the 2nd hotel and then discovered the step, that was hilarious 😂

These are horrible. We shouldn't be considering coffins as the future of basic, affordable shelter. This isn't good for physical or mental health. It would be healthier to stay in a tent for any amount of time.

@15:36 that lip pop had me crying hahaha love it

They're an upgrade on a bed in a hostel dorm, I probably would stay in them on that basis

hey ed if you're ever flying out of gatwick (or just fancy trying it) check out bloc hotel! similar to a capsule but a little bigger with runway views

There’s a capsule hotel in Edinburgh which is good, it’s called CoDe

This was horrific, I'll have nightmares, now. The price of the Gatwick one is approaching a "normal" hotel. Glad to see you eating actual food.

There’s a capsule hotel in Glasgow as well

Honestly, calling that first one in Hackney a coffin is really unfair. Coffins have way higher build quality.

You were correct. 20 seconds of eating Ben and jerrys cookie dough was funny.

Basically what we have learnt is don't book a capsule hotel in the summer.. haha Fun Video!

For the first one, me and my partner actually stayed there the day before this was uploaded, the guys there were absolutely lovely and sorted out our issue with the fan since ours didn’t work either. Very clean, lovely common area. It is VERY noisy though. And only for a single person, but me and my partner fitted in that small capsule all night 😂

When I next fly out of and in, to Gatwick, I may stay at the Mission Control as it looks decent, just hope I don't fall out of the bed. The second looked okay but the heat would mean I wouldn't sleep well. Great video and content.

The perfect pod is awesome. i would definitely stay there.

The first one looks like what I’d imagine being in a coffin would be like

I'd probably stay in a capsule hotel because finding a room with a single bed in a normal hotel is near impossible

This one’s gonna be a banger in the algorithm mate… I can feel it in my water 🙏🎉

So funny climbing up the 4ft bed not figuring out the step 🤣🤣🤣

I’d put forward the Shark Hotel at Thorpe Park as a capsule hotel. They’re marketed as cabins, but 2 people staying there is a nightmare. One has to stay on the bed so the other can move around the ‘cabin’ freely. Don’t know how people manage with kids as well in there. You’ve also got the Star Gazing pods at Alton Towers.

My claustrophobia could never lol

What the HELL are those prices? I thought the idea of having a room the size of a phone booth, was to save money. I've had all inclusive, 5 star resort rooms the size of a decent apartment, for those prices. AND with a sea view. AND in countries with decent weather.

Actually I've got a fairly early flight at Gatwick in about a month. That room looks OK for a cheaper option for that area, no frills. No TV either though, sadly. Mind you, now I've looked online it does say the standard rooms come with a smart TV.

You left the best feature out of the Gatwick one… the 24hr Greggs which is right next to where you done your summing up of it! And it’s priced like a normal Greggs too

I couldn't cope with no windows 😮

Class video as usual ed keep up excellent work your doing, top channel

Adding a fully functioning kitchen into your..mini capsule..did make me laugh a lot .......Martin...bristol

Amazing video ed

After seeing the first one .... I've got some MDF here and a couple of stools. All I need are some mattresses and I can build my own hotel! Have to make sure not to paint or decorate it to keep the same vibe though.

I've stayed in a version of a Yotel that was a proper hotel, they called it mission control there as well, though the toilet and shower were in cubicles and the shower door leaked water into the room there as well, must be standard for Yotel shower design. The bed though was queen sized and it had a reclining function. Pretty good for about £220 for 3 nights.

I’ve stayed in a couple of the CityHub capsule hotels in Amsterdam and Copenhagen and they were fantastic

Looks good. I'd go with the last cabin at Gatwick, but it is expensive for the minimal space. I'm just surprised they dont have these at every airport or even at Folkestone Terminal for the channel tunnel. But whats with the wooden knife and fork to cut an apple? 🤣

That last breakfast was complete hokum.

There’s one in Edinburgh as well the code co living

Ed brilliant video content, again 👍🏻 I would love to travel the world and try out all the different pods, fancy sponsoring me? 😉. And that breakfast that you got was healthy and looked nice, but I feel that it was four quids worth, at the most.

Reminds me of that one time I forgot to get a hotel, I just slept in the truck, same amount of room.

iv stayed in a Capsule in london bridge st christopher's inns hostel, I was going to stay for the week but it was during summer and I just could not sleep it was far too hot in them boxs, and plus it was so noisy too! Had to book a hotel halfway and got some of my money back. Dont know why they charge 40 odd when you can just get a room for less.

not too good if you have to get up in the night for a wee-I'm quite old-ha ha
