Restricted hours for accessing luggage added inconvenience to the stay, especially having to remove all belongings from the capsule during cleaning times. The requirement of storing shoes in a box and wearing flimsy slippers was awkward, making it a hassle to go in and out of the room. Full nudity during shared showers might not be comfortable for everyone, and that could be off-putting for travelers not accustomed to such customs.

Conveniently located near Ueno Station, the capsules offered excellent cleanliness. However, the mattress felt a bit hard during my stay.

A cozy retreat in the city

The spacious capsule was a lovely escape, and the onsen experience truly rejuvenated me after exploring Tokyo all day. The staff were friendly, always ready with a warm smile.

However, the locker setup in the capsule felt a bit cramped, making it a little challenging to keep my belongings organized. Plus, the shared showers could be an adjustment for those not used to such customs.

I expected to be treated like royalty, but received a capsule with thin mattresses and poor ventilation instead. The showers downstairs are a major inconvenience. Additionally, I should’ve received a complimentary drink due to my inconvenience, but clearly, that’s not how they treat guests here. I almost would’ve given a good review, but I simply couldn’t.

I loved the cozy capsule and how close it was to the station. The facilities were clean, and there was a nice public bath with a sauna. The lounge area was spacious, and the vending machine for milk was a fun touch. Overall, great value for the price! 😊

Limited dining options nearby, but spacious capsules and pristine bathing facilities!

spacious capsules, clean facilities, limited dining.

Very clean facilities

The capsules are surprisingly spacious, making the experience feel more like a high-end dorm than a typical capsule hotel. The cleanliness throughout the facilities stands out, from the communal areas to the shared bath, which provided comfort after a long day. However, accessing the showers requires going downstairs, which might be inconvenient for some. Additionally, the storage for luggage isn't as user-friendly as expected, and there are strict cleaning hours that necessitate moving belongings frequently.

Solo traveler delight

The location is a major win! Right near the station and close to the buzz of Ameyoko street,, it makes getting around super easy. The cleanliness was off the charts, comparable to high-end hotels. Also, I got to use the laundry facilities which were a lifesaver after days of travel!

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive,, but it’s a fair trade for the quality.

Capsules are surprisingly spacious with great amenities like USB charging ports and included toiletries. The onsen experience was refreshing after a long day, and the lounge area felt relaxing. However, accessing showers required going downstairs, which may not suit everyone.

Wi-Fi was fast, but the locker room was cramped.
