Capsule is a little minimalist capsule hotel located at the Level 1 of the newly opened Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2). It opened almost 4 months ago and has become a place for many frequent travellers and trendsetters to experience comfortable capsule style lodging without worrying about lengthy transits over at the airport.

Capsule by Container Hotel. Minimalist at its best. Where else in Malaysia can you experience sleeping in bright coloured containers?
Capsule is not exactly a room with a view. The sleeping capsule concept originates from Japan – it’s all about comfort, simplicity and function. You get a private container for you to sleep in, on a comfortable mattress, with free WiFi, a locker to keep your luggage in and a hot shower for you to get refreshed before catching your next flight. As simple as that.
Front desk of the Capsule, manned by very helpful staff. Just ask anything you’d like to know about the place, he will happily explain to you.
The Capsule caters to the basic needs of a traveller inspired from a modern and minimalist living. Designed with a very industrial vibe – think concrete, wooden slats, steel frames & wires and brightly painted containers.

Each capsule area is divided into 2 separate sections/floors – for male and female. Yes they are like dorm rooms, no co-eds. Each capsule comes in a variety of single beds or bunk beds and your capsule entrance door is a thick curtain that you can close down for privacy. Kids are allowed but they do not provide any baby cots.

Each capsule is rented by the hour:
- 3 hours for RM45.00
- 6 hours for RM70.00

What you get
For the price stated above (nett price) you get:

So the next time you need to catch a flight at 6am in KLIA2, perhaps spending a night in the Capsule 6 hours earlier is an option now :) It is a great convenience for travellers, especially for those transiting in Kuala Lumpur.
