In general - this hotel is cheap but you get what you pay for. Its quite messy (not dirty but there's piles of old furniture on the corridors), somewhat claustrophobic and the facilities urgently need a makeover. BUT its very inexpensive, almost empty, in a good location and has the best view on the Sumida river in Asakusa (also from... More

We wanted to try a capsule hotel during our trip in Japan, and we ended up choosing this one. It's certainly a worthwhile experience. A bit like a deluxe dormitory. Good value for money. Very good location - just next to Asakusa station.

We reserved via Hostelworld, which required a 10% non refundable deposit. Stayed for just a night to try it out. I researched a lot prior to my visit. The only thing which worried me slightly was the comment that the capsule could be pretty warm since there was no air vent in the capsule. I even brought along a hand... More

This place is great, affordable, clean. I slept well here. The price is reasonable. I loved the bathing area. My stuff felt secure in the lockers. Only downside is having to be out from around 9am until 3am. Sometimes you want to take a nap or sleep in.. But, I enjoyed the unique experience and would recommend it to others.... More

Location is very near the train station, you can spot it right away. bed is comfortable enough. they provide pjs, toothbrush and toothpaste (horrible taste) and towels, located inside locker assigned to you. It was hot inside the capsule than i expected, there is def no need to use their blanket at all. no instructions in getting the volume on... More

I had a good laugh staying here for a few days. Very nice balcony on the 9th floor overlooking the river too. Location is pretty good, right by Asakusa metro stations. Downsides are that many of the communal areas are not non-smoking so smell pretty bad and some people might be put off by Japanese men sitting in the communal... More

I had to try capsule hotel while being in Japan. This one was the only one with capsules for males and females. The hotel was located close to some monuments and it has nice view from balcony on top floor. Capsules are small and you get fancy pyjama. I was surprised, that everyone was wearing them. There is one guy... More

You have to try the capsule hotel while in Tokyo, and this was a good option in that case. The mattress is not thicker than 5 cm, so the sleep was... not constant through the night. The "wi-fi-room" was packed with smoke at the time we wanted to sit there, so no use for that, and there were no electric... More

I stayed at the capsule hotel for one night, August 27th. It was novel and served its purpose. When we got there, it was 50 degrees Celsius (+110 farenheit) so it was damn hot. They did not air condition the hallways or elevators, so you sweated a lot. And when we first got there, they also weren't air conditioning the... More

It wasn't as bad as i thought. very basic if you just want to sleep in for the night for the experience, it's fine. There is a locker to put in your belongings, but if you have anything bigger, you have to pay to use the vending machine. Onsen is on the top floor. Train station is very near and... More
