Cabin and shower/ toilets were clean, good for travelers who just needs a place to sleep and out for the whole day. About 10 min walk to Shinsaibashi station, which is has everything you need. Another 10 mins gets you to Dotonburi.

Great place, located right in the heart of Osaka. Dotonbori is a 10-15 min walk away and there's plenty of restaurants, shops, convenience stores and subway stations nearby. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking forward to live the experience of staying in a capsule hotel.

The location of this capsule hotel is ideal, especially since it is close to several subway lines and is walking distance from the Shinsaibashi shopping arcade. The neighborhood is very quite and safe. The hotel staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and have front desk personnel who can speak English and even Chinese.

Honestly I didn’t not expect the cabins to be so small. I also didn’t like that the mattress was too thin because it hurt my back. Also, the WiFi would not work sometimes. The only thing I liked was the public bath.

One of the better capsule stays in Osaka. If you’re a solo traveler that want to stay somewhere cheap but efficient this is the place. Would love to stay here again.

Probably my favorite stay in recent history. Its in-between a capsule & a room, so you get twice the a capsule but for less than a hotel

2nd time staying here. Staff is very nice and helpful. Sleeping area was spacious (I could kneel on the futon and my head barely touched the ceiling), bathrooms clean and well stocked. Very close to multiple restaurants and Shinsaibashi shopping street.

Hotel Cargo Shinsaibashi is a surprisingly comfortable, clean and satisfying capsule-hotel-style stay in Osaka.
The Staff went out of their way to assist me when that saw I had trouble climbing the stairs, which was very appreciated. (Arigato, Osakabe-san!)
The baths on the top floor were wonderful and hot! Just the cure for sore legs after a day of walking and sightseeing.
The environment was quiet and pleasant. Google Maps made it easy to find my way to the hotel from the nearby station.
I would have liked a slightly thicker futon, because I am a larger, heavier man. But extra blankets helped pad the bed for my stay.
Close proximity to two combini and several coffee shops was a great asset.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Cargo for travelers looking for good-quality inexpensive accommodations with friendly staff.
Ookini, Hotel Cargo, Shinsaibashi! (^__^)

Although this is a capsule hotel, the capsules felt like miniature rooms. Very clean and comfortable. Very clean bathrooms for guests. Direct, 15 minute walk from Dotonbori district and easy access to public transportation.

Big and comfortable capsule hotel. Clean room, nice common area to sit, rest, eat. Hair dryer sometimes only available on the 9th floor, where the public bath is, so that was a bit inconvenient.
