Heading to one of the most exciting cities in the world and want to check out those cool capsule hotels that are super popular now? Then follow me!
Today I’ll help you find your favorite capsule hotel in London! I’ve worked for hours on this carefully-curated list which I ordered from most to least expensive so you can easily find the hotel of your dreams!
I don’t have to mention how crazy the prices in London are, and the more you wait to book your snug rooms, the more the prices will increase, so I do suggest booking early to avoid paying way too much!
As you’ll see these are not the original Japanese capsule hotels you’ve seen but are considered as per London standards. Moreover, some of the hotels in this post have a smaller score than I usually recommend, but since London doesn’t have many capsule hotels, I wanted you to have at least the main ones!

2. Generator Hostel – for a fun stay in London
Looking for some cool (and maybe cheaper) overnight stays in London? Then check out this hostel. Although, it has a lower score than I’d normally recommend, its good location near King’s Cross Station bumps it a bit higher on the list!
This London capsule hotel is clean, secure, and offers different room types, from dormitory rooms to capsule rooms and private ones. You’ll also get free Wi-Fi access in the sleeping area, laundry facilities, comfy beds, and a restaurant! If you want to make some new friends, then definitely hang out in the game room or at the nightclub (yep, you guessed it, this is a party hostel)!

You’ll fall in love with these amazing compact rooms with such interesting and colorful designs! The hotel room offers a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom. Start your morning with a free breakfast at the accommodation, and then get ready to explore the town!
The hotel is located in Central London right near attractions like St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, Canary Wharf, and other exciting places! Make sure you book your capsule hotels in London in advance! These places are a bit cheaper than the usual accommodations in the city, which means they’ll sell out pretty fast!
4. Yotelair London Gatwick Airport – for a night in the airport
Perfect for an overnight stay in Gatwick Airport, these sleeping pods offer double bedrooms with a private bathroom, just a 15-minute walk from Gatwick North Terminal! Great for business travelers or any kind of tourist who needs good sleep, the sleep pods have flat-screen TVs and relaxing mood lighting.
It’s true that the hotel has a lower score than I’d normally recommend, but as you can see, there aren’t many capsule hotels in the city, and I wanted you to have all the options. Set within the South Terminal building, the hotel has a bar where you can grab a drink before or after your night’s stay. If you don’t feel like moving at all, you can always call for some room service!
5. Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport – great for families
Here are more sleeping pods set within the South Terminal of London’s Gatwick Airport! This one has a double room as well as family rooms which come with a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen TV.

6. Goodwin St. – for a relaxing holiday
Are you already super excited to visit London? There are so many places to discover here, like Brick Lane, Notting Hill, Alexandra Palace, and, of course, if you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll visit the famous platform at Kings Cross Station. But if you’re still looking for a cool London hotel for you, then check out this one!
It has some great rooms that are equipped with all the facilities you need for your stay, like free Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed, a kettle in case you can’t wake up properly until after you have had your coffee, and an external private bathroom!

Set just minutes from Picadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and Covent Garden, the accommodation offers rooms with a private bathroom and a TV.
Although this capsule hotel in London has a lower score than I’d usually recommend, the rooms look cool, are wheelchair accessible, and have under-bed storage. I’m sure you’ll want to explore all the restaurants and cafés in the area, but you can also grab a quick bite at the hotel’s café that serves breakfast.
