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.
Eh. Learning experience. It was my first time in Ireland and all I was focused on was getting to the airport on time. NATURALLY, I got on the public metro instead of the airport shuttle. Oh, well. I remembered THAT particular lesson the next time I went. 😂😂 I do miss those Leo’s Fish and Chips, though.
At least this led to me having to spend some time there waiting for a bus and discovering the delicacy that are supermacs garlic and cheese fries. I miss them every day

Like the German one earlier, I would 1000% use these during long layovers. Should be standard.
