Munich, Germany

This house belongs to a Munich group that runs several addresses across the city, and it is the one that stands close to the main railway station. Rooms are small, identical and fitted rather than furnished, which is the point of the format: the sleeping space is reduced so that the address can sit in the middle of the city. Ask for this address by name when you write.

Published material describes compact rooms with a fixed bed, a shower room and storage worked into the walls, and a ground floor given over to reception and a breakfast room. Because the group runs more than one house in Munich, the shared rooms and their fittings are not identical from address to address.

Confirm which of the group's Munich houses your booking names, since the station address and the others are described in the same words on many listing sites. It is also worth asking about breakfast hours, luggage storage before arrival and whether any room can be reached without stairs.

Tokyo, Japan

The Millennials runs houses in more than one Japanese city, and this one stands in Shibuya in central Tokyo. Sleeping units are pods rather than rooms: a bed, a screen, a curtain and a locker, arranged in rows along interior corridors. The floor plan trades private space for a central address and for the shared rooms that take up the rest of the building.

Shared work space, a kitchen area and lounges are described in the operator's own material as part of the format, used through the day by guests staying on the sleeping floors. Access to the sleeping floors is controlled, and luggage larger than a locker is normally handled at reception rather than in the unit.

Because the group has several addresses, name Shibuya in writing when you ask a question. Worth confirming: the hours of the shared rooms, the rules on luggage, and whether a same-sex or mixed floor arrangement applies to the unit you have been given.

Manchester, United Kingdom

easyHotel keeps addresses across Britain and Europe, and this one sits in central Manchester. Rooms follow a single pattern: a bed, a shower room, a hook or two and very little else, with extras such as television or a window sold separately. The house is a city-centre address whose price is held down by making every room the same and by keeping shared space small.

Published material describes a small reception, no restaurant and no bar, and cleaning arranged as an addition on longer stays. Because the group's houses are built to one pattern, the pictures used for one address often stand in for another, and the fittings you meet may differ in small ways from the images.

Write to the address itself rather than to the group if the answer matters. Useful things to settle beforehand: whether your room has a window, what is included in the rate, luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and step-free access to the floor you are on.

New York, United States

Pod runs several houses in New York, and this one stands on the west side of midtown Manhattan. Rooms are small and worked out to the centimetre, with storage under the bed and fittings built into the walls; some are single rooms and some hold bunks. The format puts its space into shared rooms downstairs instead of into the sleeping floors.

The operator describes a roof terrace, a lobby bar and a restaurant at street level as part of the house, with the shared rooms open to guests and, in some cases, to visitors from outside. Hours are set by the operator of each shared room rather than by the hotel front desk alone.

Since the group has more than one Manhattan address, confirm which house your booking names. It is also sensible to ask about the bed arrangement in the room type you hold, the hours of the terrace and the restaurant, and any charge added at booking beyond the room rate.
