Capsule hotels that offer tiny accommodations for frugal travelers are popping up across Europe and other parts of Asia.

The micro-hotels have been popular in Japan for decades, and now they can be found in Russia, China and some European airports.

In expensive cities like Moscow — where hotel rates for business travelers have been the highest in the world for about nine years straight — the capsule hotels can charge as much as $250 for 24 hours, Bloomberg reports.

Others are less expensive and charge about $85 per night. Some cost as little as $7 per night in certain parts of Asia.
