De Bedstee Boutique Capsules
It was my first time at a capsule hotel, and it was a great experience! The capsule itself was bigger than I thought (I could sit up and straighten my arm up fully), it had AC, and enough space for my things. The hotel itself was super clean, which I really appreciate. Would return!
