Capsule Hotel Asakusa River Side Reviews

The place was really nice and clean and extremely well located. I wanted to try the capsule for fun but ended up really enjoying it and sleeping very well. Also, they clean your bed every day and provide you with fresh pyjama and towel which is really nice. I also was very fond of the Japanese baths that belonged to the hotel and was available all night until 9 am. All the other clients were japanese tourists. I would go back there.

It was really hard to find but the friendly people on the street were very helpful. it was completely empty when i was there so that was a little strange. but it was clean and they have a nice view of the river and the city from the roof which was nice. they also have nice small male and female baths which was great as well. the location was close to the riverside and the souvenir shopping in Asakusa so that was nice. all around okay.

The capsule hotel is right beside asakusa station. 1 min away. fantastic location. staff are friendly and helpful, speak perfect english. it would be nice if somehow you can lock the capsule to feel more safer but i guess not being to lock the capsule is how it goes anywhere in japan. Overall, it is an excellent capsule hotel for foreigners if you want to try esp if you have male and female companions (separate floors and showers for males and females for extra safety).

The baths are very great, japanese style, and the capsule are not so tiny,an it's nice to have a pyjama furnished. But why all the lights remains up during the whole night? Impossible to have complete darkness. It was also way too hot, we have coverts, why put the heat so hight? But the most disappoiting thing was to be forced to pay 300yen every 12hours to keep my luggage somewhere, it incease the bill and you don't have access to it unless you pay again! It's supposed to be a cheap solution!

Very nice place to stay, clean, safe, and convenient.

The staff should improve their English to a basic level to communicate to clients:) hope will be served again in coming future:)

If you're going to Japan you have to stay a night in a capsule! Theyre a great, cheap way to travel, and if you arent staying many nights they are comfortable and cosy. They arent tiny, about 1m high by 2m long, so good for all people. This capsule hotel is really well located for landmarks, train stations and great food nearby. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, had a great stay here. Wifi only available in the common area on the 3rd floor, not in your capsule. Have a great stay!

Our stay at Capsules Hotel was funny and plesant! I slept much better than expected and I look forward to visit capsules hotels again!

Ideal for one night, but I found the capsule to be very uncomfortable and there was not much of an atmosphere

The capsules were clean and the main room had a door that one could lock, so for the ladies it's safe at night. I would recommend staying at a capsule for the capsule experience, at least for one night. It is very cheap, however it can be very noisy as everyone will be getting up at different times. The capsules can also get very hot and there is no fan or ventilation as your capsule has a blind that you close to sleep.

The capsules were quite old and we were greeted with by a staff member that could speak English. He didn't come across as very friendly.

Although it's not actually a hostel, but you can experience a different Japanese Culture in capsule hotel.

Hotel was called something other than Capsule Hotel Asakusa River Side, made it very frustrating to try and find while wandering Asakusa on foot with luggage. Also storage lockers large enough to fit luggage were an additional 800 yen per day, with no option to go in and out of them woithout paying 400 yen each time.

It will be good if there is a powerpoint near the bed for us to charge our phones.

To be honest, we only took this because we thought it would be nice to experience a capsule hotel. It was definitely an experience, and not completely bad. I was initially worried that it would get claustrophobic, but the space of the sleeping area was good. The only issue was the heater - it was too hot, making it quite stuffy and difficult to breathe. Also, while the bath area was clean, I felt like the toilet could have been better.

After flying from NZ it was just what I was after, a bed. Spa on the upper deck was nice, overlooking the river.

Cool experience. Capsules are comfortable and clean. The hot bath and sauna are great and there is fast internet on the second floor lounge.

Decent place to crash for a night for the capsule experience.

Great capsule hotel!! These are the exact same pods as seen in the movie "Baraka." Classic! The location is excellent, right near three train lines and super close to Sensoji Temple and the SkyTree. The staff was very helpful, they provide towels and pajamas and free wifi in the lounge. My only complaint was people could smoke in the lounge, both on the second and ninth floors. Also, if you have luggage, you have to pay extra for a big locker, which does add up.

I really enjoyed the hostel. I thought it was great! The staff was friendly, the other visitors were friendly, and the capsules were really neat. They are not the most comfortable of beds, but I went there for the experience more than anything else and I definitely got my moneys worth. Just to warn you, we they say communal baths, they mean it. I thought it would be a college dorm with like separate stalls, but nope you are right there infront of everyone, so be prepared .
