Cheap accommodation in Miami: Would you sleep in a capsule hotel?

Capsule hotels, a trend that started in Japan and has spread to several cities around the world, have arrived in Miami.

These peculiar facilities, designed to optimize space and offer an affordable accommodation option, have caught the attention of many tourists and locals, although not everyone is convinced of their convenience.

The Instagram account Only in Dade, known for its posts about life in Miami, recently shared images recorded by a British tourist, showcasing his reactions to this new "capsule hotel" in the city, generating divided opinions among online followers.

The capsules have just enough space for a bed and offer some privacy. They are ideal for those looking for a simple and economical stay, but especially for those who spend little time between the sheets, because they love to explore cities.

Generally, these capsules are arranged in rows, one on top of the other, occupying the least possible space. Guests also have access to common areas, such as shared bathrooms and showers, a detail that may not convince all types of tourists.

Some people claim that it's a 'different' experience in Miami, but they warn that it is not suitable for claustrophobics. Everything runs on electricity and they are usually very safe.

The tourist who recorded this video said he paid 34 dollars per night, a low price compared to the average hotels in the city.

However, comments on social media reflect more skepticism than enthusiasm. Some people joked that they would rather spend the night at the airport or even in their cars than in a capsule.

Others emphasize that this type of accommodation is "clean and safe" in cities like Tokyo, but they believe that the version in Miami may not offer the same peace of mind.

Doubts about safety and hygiene are some of the points that users on social media have questioned the most. In a humorous tone, one comment warned: "In Miami, you could lose a kidney."

It's too early to know if these capsule hotels will be successful in the City of the Sun, but they have already managed to divide opinions and attract attention.

Would you dare to sleep in a capsule in Miami or do you prefer the comfort of a traditional hotel?
