Sleep House - Institutional Reviews

Hong Kong is always associated with real estate, and the city has a staggering population density due to the large amount of rural land that is preserved. According to the actual living area, the density of Kowloon is close to 45,000 people/k㎡, and the emergence of "capsule rooms" is obviously a helpless move. Opened in 2017, SLEEEP is the first capsule hotel in Hong Kong, with a simple but quieter premises.

The founders believe that life in Hong Kong is stressful, and capsule hotels, which have become popular in Japan, can also attract white-collar workers to sleep up, and the market space is huge. This indirectly makes the sleeping cabins extremely comfortable, and there are indeed quite a few residents from Hong Kong, accounting for about 40%. The designer is also an avid fan of a certain mobile phone, advocating minimalist design, and the sleeping house inherited this style and successfully won the DFA Design Silver Award. This clean line has successfully attracted a large number of young faces, and the reputation has always been good.

Also a capsule hotel, the environment created by the sleeping house is darker than that of the Sea Star, which is inevitably drowsy. The sleeping cabin is encased in a black metal shell, lined with complete solid wood plywood, and the corners are connected with arcs. The light is also warm yellow, embedded around the top cover of the "ceiling", and is not a direct light source. The sleeping cabins are ventilated; Matched with the felt curtain is soft, heavy, opaque, and closed, the guest is in the dark, which is the best environment for sleeping. The bedding pillows are also reliable, from soft to hard, thick to thin, and the sleeping house is available in a variety of sizes to cover all demanding requirements. In addition, there are two inch power connections and a small wooden shelf with no redundancy.

There are a total of 8 sleeping pods in the dormitory, which is placed in the interior of the residence, and the area of the residence is only 35 square meters, and the public space is not spacious. The designer also adheres to the minimalist style, without a common seating area with chairs and ottomans, but provides guests with a wardrobe with hangers, drinking glasses, towels, and toothbrushes that need to be purchased separately. Don't worry about drinking water, the dormitory provides direct water supply free of charge. In addition, the bathrooms are also very interesting, with a long and narrow room structure, walls similar to Japanese monolithic bathroom materials, Hong Kong people are always full of experience in constructing bathing areas, and the thermostatic shower also reflects the owner's sincerity.

The check-in system is quite distinctive, and the QR code obtained at the time of booking can only pass through the access control system. The hotel is indeed close to the unmanned office state, the electronic mirror displays the guest information, and displays some welcome words, and the corresponding sleeping cabin lights flash, which is convenient for guests to find. This creates an atmosphere of mystery and a location that is hard to find, with the Sleeping House located between Queen's Road and Gough Street, accessible via a narrow staircase.

Staying in the sleeping house, the store also comes with sleep earplugs, and noise is indeed the biggest problem. Carpets have been laid and guests are reminded to walk in slippers, and the sleeping stairs are covered with cotton felt, but the sound is still ubiquitous, so those with sensitive nerves are advised to avoid such hotels. The air-conditioning system is also often criticized, and the sleeping cabin is inevitably a little stuffy when it is closed. Hotel managers said they were looking for a more spacious location to mitigate the noise problem, and the new SLPer V2 sleeping pod will also be put into use, with enhanced fresh air and cooling power. At present, the hotel has two modes of "hourly rental", with an average price of about HK$600 per night, which is generally close to the low-end hotels in Upper and Lower Wan and Wan Chai. There are five options for hourly rental: 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, and 12h, and the prices are HK$149, 199, 299, 399, and 499 Hong Kong dollars respectively.
