Once I had managed all the high tech to enter hostel and capsule, it was very good inside. On the 2nd night I even felt fairly ok about sleeping a plastic MRI scanner. I left the door a few centimetres open. I would choose it again for locality and friendliness.. and it was cheaper than more traditional Backpackers over the road for a solo traveller

Excellent location, really clean and great facilities. I went at a really quiet time, but could imagine it being noisy with the pod door openings if more people were around, but you'll be fine with ear plugs (which are essential for me in any shared dorm anyway). Staff were really quick to respond when I needed assistance
