A new trend in urban hospitality has arrived in the bustling city of Noida with the opening of a Japanese-style pod hotel, offering travelers and professionals a cost-effective and convenient accommodation option. Priced at just ₹1,000 for a 12-hour stay, this innovative hotel is located in the heart of the city and promises a unique, minimalistic experience for its guests.
The name of the pod hotel in Noida is NapTapGo. The innovative hotel was reviewed by X user @Somya_Crazy, who shared photos and videos of her visit with the thread title, "Stayed in a pod-style hotel in Noida!"
The Noida version features a futuristic, sleek design, with essential amenities for modern travelers. Each pod, resembling a cocoon-like structure, is air-conditioned and includes a comfortable bed, reading light, charging ports, a personal TV, and secure locker storage. The pods are stacked in rows, providing a cozy space for individuals who need a quick rest or a budget-friendly alternative to traditional hotels. Privacy is maintained with sliding doors or curtains, and the layout ensures that guests feel a sense of solitude even in a shared environment.
The hotel also featured a common bathroom that was "very clean," a separate restroom just for women, and a common lounge for guests to use. The X user mentioned a few drawbacks after her eight-hour stay at the pod hotel. "People were quiet, but it was not soundproof," she revealed. You can feel the commotion when someone moves, much like in dorms. "They also had private room alternatives, which cost about the same," she continued. It seems like it would be soundproof and unaffected. Their pricing structure is hourly. On a Saturday, I spent 8 hours (4 am to 12 pm) for 1K. Weekday prices are lower.
The launch of this Japanese-style pod hotel marks a growing trend in urban hospitality, as cities like Noida look to cater to the increasing demands of a fast-paced, tech-savvy population. The convenience and affordability, paired with the futuristic and innovative design, make pod hotels an attractive option for the modern traveller.
With the rising popularity of short-stay accommodations across metropolitan areas, this pod hotel is expected to set a new standard for budget-friendly hospitality, without compromising on comfort or functionality.
