The Antwerp Student Hostel (ASH) has opened in Belgium. Inspired by Japanese capsule hotels, the new property joins other locations in Amsterdam, London, New York, Singapore, and Moscow. During its soft launch, the ASH was selected as the home for the volunteers at the European Special Olympics.
A capsule hotel offers a private space with a high-end finish in a shared room. Each capsule has been soundproofed and comes with a locker, shared showers, and private ventilation.
Capsule hotels beds offer slightly more luxury for the solo traveler or group, and ASH offers them in addition to traditional bunk beds. The ASH also offers extra services such as a lobby, communal kitchen, a garden, and a laundromat.
