I enjoyed my first stay at a Capsule Hotel. The hotel is located a few mins away from the train station. There are plenty of restaurants in walking distance. In the park close by is a modern gym. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The common area is a nice place to chill and to have an Asahi fresh from the keg. The Wifi was reliable and fast.

I can't believe the value I received for my money. The woman's shower facilities are very clean, the capsule is older but it still feels like a really good deal when you consider the price. I stayed 3 nights for 99 usd. and its in an awesome location next to the train and metro and in the neatest area I've been to in Asia. Felt a bit like Amsterdam to me :)

being a capsule inn, its no much of the common hostel experience. the floors are separated by gender, which is a bit odd. however, the place was pretty clean, and the sauna was an excellent addition after being tired from travel. id recommend this place to people traveling in groups or with friends, but perhaps not for solo travelers as it does not have much of a social atmosphere. the staff was excellent, always ready to help when needed.

Trueto their word, they gave me the discount for brining in a gift from my home country. It's not much, but if you need a place to lay your head for the night, this is a pretty good place. They have a nice bath house to visit for free, and the lounge was a comfortable place to hang out. The bed is just a fouton, but it's still pretty comfortable. The staff is very nice, although they don't speak much English. If you don't understand any Japanese, a phrase book would be handy!

Great location. Very easy to find near the station. Nice staff. The capsules were clean and very basic. Great price if you just need a place to sleep, no frills. The ladies bathroom is kind of...dingy but overall it's clean. Just old. The advertised 500¥ discount really does work! Would stay here again.

It's a bunch of sleeping capsules, so its utilitarian approach suffices. Close to station, walking distance to Sky Tree, a fair amount of shopping and restaurants around. Lower working class neighborhood has its charm. Younger guy at front desk was welcoming. Not much English spoken, so be prepared with some basic Japanese. Good internet speeds, but wifi was only in common area. Decent ofuro (common bathing, single sex) for a hot, lemon-scented soak. Skinny, semi-tall lockers provided.

This was my first time staying at a capsule hotel, so I was a little unsure of what to expect. Any doubts or uncertainties I may have had were promptly erased the moment I saw a " Welcome John" sign outside the front door. From then onwards it was the classic display of Japanese hospitality and warmth Id come to know and admire during my travels in Japan. The staff happily assisted and informed me of all relevant info for a 1st timer. Highly recommended. Cool experience.

At first glance the hotel is a bit on the sleazy side. The facilities are old, but in the end clean and functional. There are lockers, a public bath with sauna, a chill out room with magazines and mangas, you can purchase snacks and drinks to reasonable prices and the hotel staff is top-notch, very friendly and helpful. Moreover the location is fantastic. The train station can be reached within five minutes, there is a direct train to and from Narita airport and it takes six minutes to Akihabara
