Found it a little noisy sleeping since there's only a bamboo curtain between you and everyone else. Also no plug inside capsule to recharge

The women's area was definitely better than the men's. The men's seemed quite seedy. Definitely an experience you must try while in Japan, but probably only good for one night.

A bit more expensive than normal hostel . But One of those things that you have to try out I guess!

There were a few negative reviews about this place so I was hesitant, but in fact it was the one of the coolest experiences I had in Japan. It is difficult to find as the English sign is very small, but this hotel provides a a very authentic japanese experience. The capsules are comfortable and cozy, bathing facilities are communal but really great as all shampoos, soaps and moisturisers are provided and there is a spa and sauna which is free for hotel guests.

Location is prefect to clubs and bars. The only thing that was not cool is that you had to be up before noon for them to clean the place up. So you felt rushed a bit. Smoking seems to be there common. So it smells smoky. Other than that place is prefect

Stay for the experience of a capsule hotel, but hostels much are more convenient on the whole - and cheaper. Thank for reading. Very nice reviewer!

Interesting experience. In a good spot and worth stating in a capsule!

It's a capsule hotel. Meaning you get what you can expect. However, I prefer a normal dorm in a hostel. Anyways, when you go to Japan you should experience a night at a capsule hotel - it's let's say special...

Good location. Good selection of comics.

Stayed there for 2 nights. It was a nice experience, but it's not the place to meet new people. It's mainly meant for people, who didn't catch the last train. Facilities were great, especially the in the price included Onsen. The staff wasn't really friendly - at least for Japanese Standards... But they helped me and were really fast. Inconvenient was that you're kinda living on 3 floors: Capsules, Lockers, Bath.All in all would do it again for the experience, but just a night.

A bit old but an excellent experience! Loved the hot bath in the basement.

It was a very nice experience to stay in this hotel. It is a real must, for every turist in Japan, to stay in place like that. We enjoyed it.

the facilities were nice. there was a hot tub, sauna, public showers, relaxation room, laundry, reading room and even a few pachinko slots. Full of amenities. My only complaint was the capsule because the mattress was very thin and hurt my back the next day but overall would come back again. especially for the facilities.

This capsule hotel is cool!!! They have everything you need! the facilities are excellent, the make-up room, clean toilet, shower, sauna, comic room, tv room.... i have always wanted to experience this and happy that i found it! not many capsule hotel accept female. The only bad side is the locker is too small, you can only fit in a smaller size of backpack. if you put it at the counter they charge Y200 for 1 day.

The location is perfect, walking distance from the busiest street of Osaka. The onsen is an authentic experience and also the capsule itself. Don't expect to meet other westerns travellers as the place is focused on japanese business man and also the frontdesk does not speak english (the only rude japanese that i met in my travellings). And be careful with the check in/out time, very military. They also charge 200 to keep the luggage.

Very clean and super secure. The spa has only one tube and one sauna, but I don't mind. Not a place to meet new people or socialize, but then again, this is a business hotel. For a day you can play a busy business person with all the rights that only a suit can give you. I'd recommend this place since it is the only capsule hotel I stayed in Japan.

The capsules are surprisingly spacious, even for a 6'5" (192cm) person like me!

Staying in a capsule is actually much more comfortable than you would imagine. Great japanese bathhouse included.
