Thought i dislike the fact there was no private shower (as a europEan girl), i must admit that This hostel Is perfect. The Common room Is cool, japanese style. The receptionnist are very nice classy & helpful.It is located 7 min walk from Tokyo Sky tree. New towel & kimono every day. Free shampoo, Conditionner & teeth brush. Sauna & Onsen very relaxing and clean. Capsule experience was great with TV in the capsule.Your name written outside to welcome you.

Capsules were a lot bigger than expected but since the lockers could barely fit anything in (pretty much just my jacket and towel would fit) i had to put a lot of stuff in the capsule with me, which made it a lot smaller. It was very relaxing to use the japanese shower and bath and was a good experience overall

Enjoyed the capsule experience. More space in pod then you might think. Room mates were respectful and quiet. To have a proper wash you have to get naked and use the hotel's Japanese baths. Was a little intimidating at first but enjoyed this very Japanese experienc. Booked this hotel at short notice during high tourist season and price was ok too.

Would have liked some big size lockers, or a locked room for my luggage, before check-in. Keeping it in the lobby area while I'm out doesn't seem 100% safe. I wish there were electric outlets inside the capsules, for phone charging etc. Friendly around-the-clock staff. Very close to Kinchicho Station and the JR Sobu Line, which takes you directly to Narita for about 1400 yen.

Very small dorm with lots of capsule style beds. Not much room for luggage in the walkway. Very noisy people, talking and laughing at the top of their voices at 11pm. Not a great amount of space to relax. Fine if all you want is a bed.

Very smoky and didn't seem clean. No plug sockets in the capsule and very few around unless you want to sit in the awkward common room. Staff ok but smoked a lot, all my clothes smelt after leaving. No showers only an onsen. My first capsule the light didn't work, so I asked to move. In the second the TV volume, clock and alarm was broken. Positive is it was very cheap but I would not stay again. More of a hostel than a capsule, and a poor one at that.

There was no possibility to charge batteries over night in the capsule. One would have to let the device lie around in the hallway or other rooms which are open for everyone. That was a real bummer with an empty cell phone battery. The locker was so thin that many had to heave their heavy and bulky luggage onto the lockers - and leave it there unattended. The staff was very nice, though.

My friend and I only spent one night here but we absolutely LOVED it!!! We would definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity, and we will recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo. Thank you so much for such an awesome experience!

This place has quite a different style from a typical backpackers hostel but we really enjoyed our stay and found it not to be lacking in any facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful, although their English was not strong. The overall fit out is dated but still clean and pleasant.

Great place to stay, real value for money. Stayed at the women's floor which has a keyed entry. Japanese bath available which was very nice. Women and men bathe separately. Centrally located in Tokyo, within walking distance from the subway and JR lines.

I spend one night at the girls floor in this hotel. Any problem and any deception, the experience is great. Restaurants and subway in the district. Security 100%, even if you're a girl traveling alone. Thanks for this experience !

I stayed in a couple of capsule motels during my stay in Tokyo and this was the best in terms of cost and facilities. It is right next to subway station to Narita airport and is close to the Tokyo Sky Tree. The surrounding area has plenty of decent restaurants and bars so there is enough in the area to keep you occupied. It's probably not the best place to stay if you want to mingle with other guests but it is great value for money and staying in a capsule motel is a novel experience.

First time in a capsule hostel and was pleasantly surprised. Nice touch with free hot pool and sauna and the location was excellent with a 24/7 Burger King and a metro around the corner. Free wifi is always a high priority even though the reach could have been a bit better, had to go out to the stairs or down to the lobby in order to reach the signal.

The Guesthouse is not prepared enough for tourists. The accommodations aren't clean and the dorms smell like cigarette. There is no space for the bags in the room.

The staff was very friendly and the price is good. But at night it was so hot I couldn't sleep. The bathroom was gross and there a smell coming from the carpet that grossed me out. Also, if you want to charge your phone at night, good luck. No outlets in the capsules. And to top it all off, I must have bumped my head on the TV a dozen times.

Was a little sceptical about this place but its great value for money. Quiet in the capsules, and lots of backpackers doing the same thing. Showers are communal but they at least have showers, sauners etc that are clean. Location is a bit far out but the price makes up for it. Good wifi on all the floor and staff will look after your valuables in your safe as you don't get a locker.
