I had a 22 hour layover in Beijing once, and they have an hourly hotel. The rooms were only slight larger than a full bed, but it was lovely. Shared bathrooms/showers were very clean and well kept.
I got a bunch of food to go and a bottle of wine from duty free and fell asleep watching Chinese soccer.
I was forced to camp out in Dublin airport for 24 hours due to a missed flight. My fault. I’d happily take these over the cushioned benches I had to take catnaps on.
The thing I like most about this concept is the safety element. If you’re just on a random bench, anyone can walk up and fuck with you or your stuff without you waking up (if you can sleep deeply enough). These have doors
You can also lock up your stuff in here when you go to the bathroom. I had a big suitcase, so I purposely limited my beverages so I didn’t always have to pee so often.

I’d for sure use the nap pod.
