When booking a room in The Netherlands online, Dutch hotels are often limited to a standard rate for one night. It\u2019s hardly impossible to book a room for a few hours.<\/p>\n

Minimum stay<\/h3>\n

There are website that gave it a try, such as \u2018Day-Use Hotels<\/a>‘\u00a0which we wrote about in 2012. That website is in the Netherlands still limited to Hotel & Spa Savarin and offers a minimum stay of five hours. The website of between9and5.com gives a little more options for a room, although even there fixed time frames apply with a minimum of five hours. It\u2019s still not possible to book a room for a few hours.<\/p>\n

Expanding time windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With an emerging international 24-hour economy, arrival and departure times are no longer as set as they used to be. If guests themselves could indicate during which time they wish to use the room, hotels would get the maximum out of their available rooms.<\/p>\n

Capsules in Asia<\/h3>\n

Singapore<\/a>, Japan and Hong Kong are more familiar with booking rooms by the hour, since it is a regularity that tourists or businessmen rest a few hours in capsule hotels. Green Plaza Shinjuku Capsule Hotel<\/a> even offers 630 cabins, but these are restricted to men only. A capsule measures 190cm by 100cm by 90cm and has air conditioning, a TV, radio, alarm clock and adjustable lighting.<\/p>\n

Book a room for a few hours<\/h3>\n

Although sleeping capsules seem claustrophobic to us and do not fit our culture, Dutch guests from the region might find it pleasant to book a hotel for a few hours in the Netherlands as well. Only not like the tourists and business guests do in Asia. It can be an opportunity for dating purposes.<\/p>\n
