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

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...

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.

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.

Very clean place, there are also sauna in this capsule. Not so far away from metro but a bit difficult to find for the first time. Location is good, there are shopping places around if you like shopping.

I was satisfied with this capsule hotel simply as a cheap place to stay. It is right next to triangle park and Dotonbori which are great areas for shopping, drinking, etc and the staff are quite nice but more so than it's value as a standard hotel, it struck me as a fun experience that was uniquely japanese in a number of ways. Though foreigners are common, the entire establishment is designed for Japanese patrons.

I'm sure it's easy to find a better Capsule Hotel experience even if this one is not so bad.

Really annoying that you can't charge your phones any where. Also as a solo traveler it was pretty depressing, not much connecting with other travelers, mainly sketchy business men. And creepy porn channels. It was good to experience capsule hotels, and I appreciate the free lockers and the onsen.
