Four hotels where the sleeping quarters are compact berths, cabins or rooms built to a single repeated pattern. Each belongs to a chain or a small group, and each note names the one address it covers. The entries set out how the berths are arranged, which rooms are shared and what tends to need confirming.
Global Cabin Tokyo Suidobashi is one address of a small Japanese chain of cabin hotels, and these notes cover that branch alone. It stands in Suidobashi, a central Tokyo district of offices, university buildings and a busy railway junction, a minute on foot from the station. Sleeping quarters are compact cabins rather than conventional rooms.
A cabin holds a bed, a reading light and space for a small bag, with larger luggage kept in lockers on the same floor. Bathing is shared: the hotel lists bathing areas with a deep tub and washing stations, separated by sex. A lounge, vending machines and a simple breakfast counter serve as the common rooms.
Write to the branch to confirm which cabin floors are open to you, since sleeping floors are usually separated, and to check bathing hours and the earliest check-in. The chain's website covers several addresses at once, so name the Suidobashi branch in any message you send.

CUBE Boutique Capsule Hotel @ Chinatown
Singapore
CUBE Boutique Capsule Hotel @ Chinatown occupies old shophouses on Smith Street, in the Chinatown district of Singapore, and belongs to a small local group with another address elsewhere in the city. The street front keeps its shuttered upper windows and covered walkway, while the interior behind has been rebuilt from the ground up to hold capsule berths.
Berths are stacked in pairs along the upper storeys and closed with a blind rather than a door, each with a light, a socket and a shelf. Bathrooms, lockers and a breakfast lounge are shared. Shophouse plans are narrow and deep, so the stairs are steep and the corridors close.
Since the group runs more than one address, name the Smith Street building when writing. It is worth asking about the berth types, about luggage storage, and about whether a lift serves the upper storeys, which buildings of this age very often lack.

easyHotel Berlin Hackescher Markt
Berlin, Germany
easyHotel Berlin Hackescher Markt stands on Rosenthaler Straße in Mitte, a short walk from the linked courtyards that give the quarter its name. It is one address of a European chain, and these notes describe that building only, not the chain at large. Rooms are small and uniform, fitted out to one pattern repeated on every floor.
A room holds a bed, a compact shower room and little else, with minimal storage; windows differ from floor to floor and some rooms have none. Reception is staffed around the clock. Services such as luggage storage or an early arrival are booked as extras rather than included with the room.
Ask the hotel which rooms have an outside window, and confirm what comes with the room and what is arranged separately. Because the chain lists many addresses across Europe, give the Rosenthaler Straße one when writing, so that the reply concerns the building you mean.
Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport sits inside the South Terminal at Gatwick, on the level above the departures concourse. It is a separate address of a small British chain, and these notes describe that building alone. Rooms are compact and built for short stays between flights rather than for long ones, with fittings set into the walls.
The plan is a run of rooms along corridors, each with a bed, a wet-room shower and controls built into the panelling. There is no restaurant in the hotel: the terminal's own cafés stand a short walk away, and reception handles luggage and late arrivals. Lifts connect the floor to the concourse below.
Confirm with the hotel how to reach reception after a late landing, and whether the room you want has a window, since a number of them do not. Terminal building work occasionally alters the walking route, so it is worth asking shortly before travelling.

This is a reference site, written from open sources and kept as plain as possible. Chains alter their addresses, their fittings and their house rules, so what is written here may already have moved on. The Front Hall has no connection to any of these hotels, sells nothing and takes no reservations. Confirm details with the hotel.
