Taipei Metro’s capsule hotel allows nightshift staff to rest
2026-02-26
Hidden beneath Taipei Main Station is a capsule hotel with six sleeping pods and a shower room. The Taipei MRT provides this space for operations control center staff working the nightshift to rest and recuperate. But recently people online discovered it and have been asking if the rooms are available for public booking.
The Taipei Metro operations control center runs 24 hours a day, with staff working tirelessly to keep the MRT running safely. Thankfully, they have a place they can rest.

Hidden underneath Taipei Main Station is a capsule hotel. To rest here, staff need to pass several checkpoints to get to this duty room. Let’s take a look inside.

There are showers here before entering the rest area so that staff can have a shower before sleeping and comfortably come to the on-duty room.
Inside there are six individual capsules each fully equipped with comfortable bedding. The lights are adjustable and each capsule can be closed for privacy.
The blinds block outside light, reduce noise, and ensure privacy for undisturbed rest. There are outlets for charging electronics and drawers for personal effects. There are also restrooms and showers, making the space comparable to commercial capsule hotels. But this space is only available to certain people.

Curious about capsules
It’s very considerate, but the public can’t use it?

Commenting on capsules
It looks like a standard capsule hotel. People would want to stay here.
The Taipei Metro made this rest area specifically for its staff, giving hardworking employees a place to recover and recharge.
Yang Tsung-che
Taipei Metro control center deputy director
We spent about half a year and around NT$1.5 million planning this area. It’s been in use for two or three years already. If we opened it up to the public, it might disturb the staff’s rest.
The Taipei Metro provides staff with this comfortable space to rest, so that they can come to work refreshed and motivated.

北車地底藏"神秘膠囊旅館" 網友狂敲碗:可以訂房嗎
2026-02-26
一般人都不知道，台北車站地底深處，居然有一個隱藏的「膠囊旅館」，不只有6個獨立休息艙，還有淋浴室可以盥洗，其實這是「高運量行控中心的值夜室」，台北捷運體諒值班辛勤上班打造的秘密基地。最近曝光，網路上網友狂敲碗，想問可以訂房嗎?
行控中心人員，24小時不打烊，緊盯系統，守護捷運運輸安全，累了還有秘密基地。

“隱藏在台北車站底下，竟然有間膠囊旅店，想休息必須得先經過層層關卡，來到這間值夜室，帶您一起來開箱。”
[[北捷行車處行控中心副主任 楊宗哲]]
“在進入休息室之前，值夜室之前我這邊有一個淋浴室，可以讓同仁要睡覺之前先來洗個澡，舒舒服服的再進入我們的這個所謂的值夜室。”
走進裡頭，電聯車造型，6個獨立休息艙，床墊、枕頭通通有，還能調整燈光。
拉上遮光簾，不只能遮光、還能降噪，保護隱私不被打擾。充電插座、置物空間通通有，當然也有盥洗淋浴間，堪比外頭的膠囊旅，可惜只開放給特定人士休息。

“蠻貼心的，是一般民眾是沒有辦法使用的?”

“看起來就像一般的那種膠囊旅館，會讓人家蠻想住的。”
台北捷運專為第一線人員，打造休息空間，讓辛苦值勤的員工，能短暫充電，恢復精神。
[[北捷行車處行控中心副主任 楊宗哲]]
“這個當初我們在規劃的時候，大概花了半年的時間，然後這個費用的話，大概花了大概150萬左右，大概已經啟用了兩三年有了，開放這個民眾參觀的話，可能就會打攪到同仁這個的休息。”
北捷讓員工睡個好覺再上工，也提升工作動力。
