The capsule was very clean and comfortable! Unfortunately the 浴場 was closed all night when I was there, so I was unable to use it.

Fantastic. Only things are - dark old corridors and escalators. Common area is bit not clean and old. It depends on the area, the rooms and toilets, showers are awesome, Nice hot bath, sauna and Tv, desk are in the room. Very comfortable and relaxing.

It was a okay place. The pod was clean, food area was alright, public bath area I wasn’t a fan of, but dealt with. But the part that was very hard and annoying for me was the rule that if you are in your pod between 10-3pm you will get charged a fine…. This was just stupid. Let’s say I was extra tried from my flight or had bad jet lag I’d have to pay extra to stay in my room past 10am or if I need to come back to my pod because I got up early and was exhausted I’d get charged if I came back before 3pm. Also, your locker was on the 1st floor, baths on the 2nd food area the 3rd and your room on the 4th or 5th… if I forgot something I needed… I’d have to travel from the 4th to the 1st just to get my stuff… this was annoying in the morning getting ready for the day… going down then back up, then down then up…. So stupid. Glad I only stayed 3 nights. (But wish it was less.) not coming back to this one, the most inconvenient hostel I’ve ever stayed at.

I stayed in capsule 838 on L8. Bedsheets and pillow case were not changed from the previous occupant! There were a lot of hair (both long and short) on them when I checked in and they are definitely not from me. A deal breaker!

I liked the location and price. It was a bit of trouble to pack up my luggage and check out at 10 am every day even I extended my stay more than one night. But, everything else was great. Thanks!

I think there is a security problem regarding this hotel. They wanted me to leave my room key at the reception, this was ok but when I returned back to hotel, I just told them my room number and they just gave me the room key without asking anything even my last name to check. I am sure the receptionist didn't recognize me as she was the night shift and not the lady that helped me for check in. I think the hotel should have ask the guest last name in order to confirm they do not give the room key to someone else. Thannks!

Took a twin room and the rooms were much better and well equipped than expected. Huge for Japanese standards with separate areas for sleeping, and getting ready. All amenities are also provided for. Location is relatively near a tram stop, and there's a 1000 yen overnight parking opposite (it would be nice if they could include this somehow haha),, and the only qualms i have about this place is that while there was an indoor onsen, the water was completely lukewarm when we tried it at about 10.30pm or later. Breakfast was also a bit sad as its a single portion, and the portion of eggs was incredibly tiny. But since there was no extra charge for it, it was still a great perk.

Nice capsule in super clean condition. The top floor is for woman only. You only can reach with your access card. There are toilets and bath room in the top floor. Most of the capsules are in isolated room. You have your own privacy.
