Review: My Stay In Capsule by Container Hotel, KLIA 2

Few weeks ago, I needed to catch the very early morning flight 6am that bounded to Sibu, Sarawak. Hence, I determined to stay at Capsule by Container Hotel, KLIA 2.

In fact, in January 2015 I also wished to stay there for 6 hours because I took the morning flight too. I needed a place to bath and rest. For your information, the guest can stay 3 hours (RM 50), 6 hours (RM 75) & 12 hours (RM 100). Different staying hours charged different capsule/room rates.

Capsule by Container Hotel came into my mind. I try to book online through the Capsule by Container Hotel website but failed to do so. Thus, I called the front desk personnel and the front desk personnel reassured me the capsule/room also available even though walk in.

While check in, the front desk personnel, a chubby guy told me no capsule/room was available because all the capsules/rooms were fully booked. He also requested me to wait for 2 hours since few guests might checked out later. After 2 hours, still no capsules/rooms were available. I was so frustrated and tired too at the same time. Thus, I just left the Capsule by Container Hotel.

What motivated me to stay at Capsule by Container Hotel this time was I thought their customer service might gradually improve compared 2015. I decided to book 12 hours capsule in advance through Agodo.com due to previous bad experience. Fortunately, this time I checked in successfully. 

Capsule by Container Hotel, at lower ground floor of KLIA 2

The main reason I choose to stay there was the convenient location. It situated in the lower ground floor of KLIA 2. It denoted that I just walked few steps and I reached the domestic departure hall.  It saved my times and money honestly.

It had container themed decorations. 

Container again!!! but with bigger space capsule/room

lockers was behind the the front desk counters 

The lockers can fit a medium size luggage. I preferred to put my luggage in the individual capsule in order to reach my clothes, skincare and other belongings easily. 

The walkway leaded to my individual capsule. It had upper & lower deck

The capsul/room number was indicated in the access card. 

Simple & clean individual capsule 

Once checked in, I paid RM 50 as deposit and given a recycle bag that contained bath towel, locker, access card & mineral water (forgot to take photo as I kept in my locker)

***Please brought the access card all the times 

It had 5 types of capsule facilities. 1) power point & light switch, 2) storage compartment for belongings, 3) vanity mirror, 4) ventilation 

5) Blind for privacy 

Powerpoints & lights were beside my bed. I like this type of design as the power point beside my bed allowed me to charge and use the iPhone at the same time while relaxing on the bed.

A not so smart thing was it only had 1 power point that might not suitable for travellers that looked for many power points in order to charge their electronic gadgets.

On the other hand, lights next to my bed make me easier to switch off the lights without went far away from the bed.

Meanwhile, the blind deserved a mention. It’s for privacy matter. For those who shy from others or emphasize on privacy issue, just pulled the blind over the individual capsule and the individual capsule can’t see through.

The bed was clean and comfortable. It gave me the most comfortable sleep.

WIFI was available throughout the hotel and capsule, WIFI was a must for me. Sometimes, I was so addicted to the iPhone. So, remember to get the WIFI password when checked in.

The other downfall was I was assigned an upper deck capsule. I needed to climb the stair when going to toilet and shower.  Even worst, I was the toilet lover and visited the toilet frequently. Kindly ask for lower deck if you didn’t want to face the same problem like me. I also reminded myself as well.

Besides that, it’s very noisy and so irritated. It brought inconvenience for the light sleeper like me.

 Bathroom 

I was pampered with basic bathroom amenities that include shower gel and conditioner. The hair dryer and full length mirror at least were provided. 

The water pressure in the rainfall shower head was good but it only had hot water. I ended up took a quick shower because I can’t bear with the damn hot water.  

Shower and toilet 

In conclusion, Capsule by Container Hotel served the purpose of bathing and resting for layover solo travelers.

However, if the solo traveler was the light sleeper, hate to share the bathroom & toilet with others, not concern about budget issues; you might rethink your decision to stay at Capsule by Container Hotel.

Meanwhile, for those family travels, Capsule by Container Hotel was not the suitable option too. The capsule can’t fit the whole family. If getting 2 capsules, it’s better to book a standard hotel room that had better staying environment.
