The location is simply the best for single male traveler n extremely tight budget. Other than its almost zero sound proof n not for people above 1.8m, I cant find our other fault with them. I did enjoy the stay with them.

Staying at a capsule hotel was on my to-do-list and for me (a Swede) it was an unique experience. The experience is rated 100% but I can't really rate the hotel that high. Capsules were comfortable and spacious. Good restaurant/bar/lounge on 4th floor. Big onsenlike common bathroom (men only). The tiny locker was a joke. No place to dry wet... More

It takes a few days to get to know all the rules and circumstances of this hotel. E.g. you have to learn quickly how to organize yourself as there is limited space in your locker and you cannot leave stuff in your capsule because it cannot be locked. Also you have to leave the hotel for cleaning purposes from 10am... More

First time in Tokyo so what to do? Oh I know, sleep in a little box! I heard about this from a friend and couldn't wait to try it out. Unfortunately finding this place is ridiculous the first time. As it is located on the 3rd floor to 7th of some building, there is no immediate sign. Thank god for... More

personally I wouldnt stay here again unless I was desperate. since u have to leave during the day from 10am-4pm it can be really inconvenient. Plus the the internet didnt work. As this is standard practice in this industry its a very decent place. no capsule is going to be perfect and it gets hectic at peak times in the... More

If you are the type who needs some sort of privacy or the feeling of personal space, look elsewhere before booking this capsule hotel. This was my third capsule hotel experience, I felt it the least accommodating. Essentially this is a place for those that need a bed for a single night. If you don't mind showering with others or...

Great concept! This is a unique Japanese experience and should be at the top of any solo male traveller's 'to do' list in Japan. Aside from the capsule beds, the communal bathrooms make for a unique experience for most Westerners. Capsules are closed for cleaning between 10am and 4pm, but if you are out and about during the day this... More

I've always been curious about the capsule hotel idea, and for a short stay it's ok. located not so far from shinjuku station, by side the red light disctrict, this capsule hotel offers you an aseptical and extraniating experience: for 4200 yen (the first night, then the rate is 3200), you have access to a locker, a common area with...

If you aren't fussed where you sleep, on a tight budget or just want to experience sleeping in your own capsule- this is my first time in one in Tokyo and I thought it was average. I was expecting a bigger sauna, chillout pools and rest area but then I'm probably spoilt from grander chains in Shenzhen. You can hear... More
