” While some hotels trumpet the ample square footage of their guest rooms, others rely on quirky coziness to attract customers.
Yotel, for example, offers ship-cabin-inspired rooms at several European airports and operates a full-sized hotel filled with snug (170-square foot), extremely efficiently-designed rooms near Times Square in New York City. The chain plans to open another Yotel hotel on upscale Orchard Street in Singapore…”

What? Cabin-designed rooms near Times Square? That would be awesome, I've been to NYC twice and it's a bit too cosmopolitan for me, even though I'm born in a capital and raised in another (both in Europe). I'm currently trying to find it on http://new-york.hotelscheap.org/times-square.html but I'm somehow lost. I suppose that it won't be cheap, because it's near Times Square, but I also hope that it won't be a rip-off like most of the hotels in NYC.
these seem really cool, a tiny community, until you check out the price..

Yotel is a great place to stay in New York. I was there last year with my girlfriend and we had an amazing week in the big apple. We booked the place with reservationcounter.com and it was not so expensive after all. I really recommend you try them out.
