The location is great! The staff were ploite, as expected in Japan. But, naturally, the building is old and they didn't spend too much to fix it up. If you need a clean, convenient, no hassle place to stay, this will do the job. If you want something facncy, this ain't it.

The capsule was very clean and comfortable! Unfortunately the 浴場 was closed all night when I was there, so I was unable to use it.

Fantastic. Only things are - dark old corridors and escalators. Common area is bit not clean and old. It depends on the area, the rooms and toilets, showers are awesome, Nice hot bath, sauna and Tv, desk are in the room. Very comfortable and relaxing.

It was a okay place. The pod was clean, food area was alright, public bath area I wasn’t a fan of, but dealt with. But the part that was very hard and annoying for me was the rule that if you are in your pod between 10-3pm you will get charged a fine…. This was just stupid. Let’s say I was extra tried from my flight or had bad jet lag I’d have to pay extra to stay in my room past 10am or if I need to come back to my pod because I got up early and was exhausted I’d get charged if I came back before 3pm. Also, your locker was on the 1st floor, baths on the 2nd food area the 3rd and your room on the 4th or 5th… if I forgot something I needed… I’d have to travel from the 4th to the 1st just to get my stuff… this was annoying in the morning getting ready for the day… going down then back up, then down then up…. So stupid. Glad I only stayed 3 nights. (But wish it was less.) not coming back to this one, the most inconvenient hostel I’ve ever stayed at.

Nice capsule in super clean condition. The top floor is for woman only. You only can reach with your access card. There are toilets and bath room in the top floor. Most of the capsules are in isolated room. You have your own privacy.

It's fairly nice with a bed, small desk, desk light, alarm clock, mirror, TV monitor, and headphone in a compact space. They have shampoo, rinse, hands and face form, so I didn't have to bring my own.
