The Zissou Arms: Dutch “Capsule Hotel”

Don’t take too much of what I’m about to say about these floating Dutch “Capsule Hotel” units as gospel, as my information is gleaned primarily from a Google translated German information page. As far as I can tell, these are “survival modules” from the ’70s, original designed for shipboard usage, which have been converted into on-the-water rooms. Don’t expect a lot of ammenities: the “Luxury survival” package is the only one that includes a way to go to the head—and even that is with an “emergency toilet.” (Don’t worry, though; there are “all kinds of Bordgadgets.”

A single night in the luxury model will cost you 150 Euro, but you can spend a night in the bare-bones model for just €70, if you can live without the in-cabin disco ball. Have a look at the pictures page for some idea of the accomodations. Don’t let the sign saying “DANGER: LEVER DROPS CAPSULE” discourage you.
