The Tourism and Travel industry is one of the sunrise enterprises in India. The increasing competition among the entrapuauners has thankfully resulted in many innovative ideas being put into practice. The new focus is on the budget traveller.
Pod – style hotel is the latest in the segment.
NapTapGo is a pod-style hotel in Noida near New Delhi.
In a series of posts, travel blogger Soumya shared her experience. Somya opted for a capsule with a single bed with a mirror, manual and centralised locks, a panel with different settings and charging points, and an entertainment centre.
The color-changing mirror can be adjusted by finger touch and there are clean women-only washrooms in addition to common ones.
Somya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Only one issue bothered her – the rooms are not soundproof.
A pod-style or capsule hotel that offers small, pod-like accommodations designed for solo travellers. The idea originated in Japan. These pods provide enough space for sleeping and necessities, focusing on efficiency and minimalism.
By stripping down accommodation to its essentials, pod hotels make travel more accessible and affordable without sacrificing comfort or style.
