Like other Roatel rooms, drivers will have access to a bed, toilet, washbasin and a shower cubicle. Rooms also sport a TV, WiFi, a hair dryer, a cupboard and a table. There are four such rooms at the Hirschberg location housed in the shipping containers.
The basic format of a Roatel accommodation is a micro-hotel with four single rooms built into a 45ft sea freight container. The containers are thermally insulated and soundproofed, and air conditioning is provided for individual heating or cooling. Also, a window is built in each room.
The area of each room is 7.5 square meters and the inner height of the containers is 2.50 m, which makes the rooms 30% larger than the average cab size.
Back in 2021, the company announced its intention to build a network of 600 Roatels in the future, though the current figure is 15.
Rooms typically cost €53 per night, though Roatel’s website claims it is possible to book one for as little as €23.
