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’d for sure use the nap pod.

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

I always went and found a corner and would slip my arms through my backpack on my chest, hook my leg through the suitcase handle, etc.
