(SPOT.ph) Capsule hotels were made popular in Japan back in the late 1970s. Guests sleep in small pods or capsules, which only have the basics for an overnight stay (i.e. the bed). But if you want to experience this yourself without having to travel far, you can do so in a city hotel in Cubao, Quezon City. Dormitos features capsule-type of accommodation with rates starting at P800.

What we know about capsule hotel Dormitos in Quezon City:
Dormitos, which gets its name from dormitory or dormitel, opened back in 2019. It's located at the intersection of New York Avenue and Harvard Avenue in busy Cubao. Dormitos' proximity to MRT and LRT-2 stations and bus terminals like Baliuag Transit and Solid North Transit makes it an ideal stopover for late-night or early-morning travels in and out of the Metro.
The seven-storey building has a total of 100 pods, with separate allocations for males on the third floor and females on the fifth floor. Each pod has a size of two meters in length and one meter for both width and height. Technically, each one accommodates two people, but booking is strictly at a 1:1 ratio.
Guests also get free WiFi access, USB charging ports inside the pods, and different kinds of lights according to what they need (white reading light, blue ceilng light, and ambient light). Pods also have a small safe and a laptop table. Remember that the rooms and capsules are strictly quiet zones and food and drinks are prohibited.
Check-in time is at 2 p.m., and check-out time is at 11 a.m. If you want to stay longer, monthly rates start at P8,800.
Dormitos is at 115 Harvard Street, Cubao, Quezon City. Rates start at P800. For more information, visit Dormitos' website.
