Whan a memorable experience! The hotel is so different than any other I've been before. Never been in a capsule hotel but I surely fell in love with this one! The hotel staff are very nice and always have a smile on their face. The rooms are quite spacious and very quiet. From reception I received my very own toiletries bag and an Iphone 5 with which I controlled the amenities in the room, such as the lighting. The whole hotel is made in a very modern style and is always clean and tidy. I'm definetly choosing it next time I'm visiting Tokyo.

Super Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho

Would not accommodate COVID-19 cancellation

Reviewed By Aleksey G

My wife and I had booked a trip to Japan several months before COVID-19 became news. Our airline changed our flight details after the US recommendations to cease all nonessential travel and we had to cancel our trip. We had booked several hotels throughout Japan for our two week stay. Every single one of those hotels allowed us to cancel our reservation and receive a full refund except for this one. We reached out to the hotel management to see what options we had available, not only did they decline a refund request but they also would not honor a future booking using the amount we paid. Furthermore, instead of cancelling our reservation they instead marked us as a no-show despite having submitted the cancellation request weeks before we were to arrive. Based on our experience I would not recommend using their services.

Nine Hours Akasaka Sleep Lab

Business trips, travels, or overtime work. What features are required for overnight stays in urban hotels? Resetting your day, from one day to the next, needs three basic actions: take a shower, sleep, and get yourself dressed. We simply replace these actions with the time spent: one hour + seven hours + one hour. Based on this most straightforward concept of staying in a hotel, ninehours offers ideally simple urban stay unlike any other in the world.

Reviewed By walton_rebecca

In excellent position near railway station. Just 150m. Not so easy to find. It’s inside a block, 6th and 7th floor. It needs more signage but if you see prominent signs for large bookshop then follow those. They lead to the hotel also. Everything worked well, the room was well equipped and the en-suite spotless. Breakfast was not exciting. There was variety but even food meant to be hot, like scrambled eggs or hot dog sausages were allowed to go cold. However it saved wandering from street to street to locate something better elsewhere. The public bathing facilities for women are really excellent. And I used convenient washing and drying machines. Recommend as a base for day trips out of Okayama.

Very clean in both public areas and private cabins which exceeded my expectation. Appreciated that staff allowed me to store my bags overnight so I don't need to find a locker. Just one thing, a bit hot inside the cabin which slight affects my sleeping quality.

First Cabin Midosuji-Namba

Good value and location. Lack privacy.

Reviewed By bikerjoe15

Arrived at the hotel earlier at about 11am due to my flight timing. This place is located about 10mins walk from JR Namba Station. It occupies the whole 3rd, 4th & 6th floor of an office-looking building. Male and female cabins have separate entrances via access passcards which feels very safe. There are safety boxes in a common area, vending machine, laundry machines, chat corners, dining area, smoking room, and Japanese bath facilities. Simple Japanese breakfast (4 dishes), cereal, juices etc for 500 yen person. Very near to Kuromon market and other street stores. Convenience store located nearby. Level B1 leads to the subway as there is no worries of rain. It’s a pity request for early check is not available (normal check in time is 3pm). Totally recommended if you are a single traveller and don’t mind the lack of door locks to your cabin room (although there is a lockable drawer under the bed. Price is reasonable (PJs and basic toiletries provided) for the First Class Cabin room that I booked for 5000 yen a night. Staff speaks understandable English.

First Cabin Atagoyama

This hotel is a brand-new capsule hotel.

Reviewed By KazukoT27

If you have never had experience of capsule hotel, you would be surprised. There is only a bed in a room. But this hotel is much more comfortable than the other capsule hotel because room is big and tall enough that you can stand on the bed. It has a common shower room at 8th floor, which has a big bath. I love it very much. If you want a chat with friends and something to eat, you can stay at 6th floor, which has a small bar. And you can bring some food and drinks to eat there. No key of room. Only has a safe-deposit box in a room. You have to put your wallet, passport and something valuable into it. After you get used of it, you can enjoy staying.

Capsule hotels near train stations where you can reasonably stay in Tokyo. "Anshin Oyado Akihabara Denkigai Branch" within 120 seconds by walk from the nearest station! Inside the hotel building Beautiful and clean, a healing space with an atmosphere of Bali. The inside of the hotel decorated with furnishing goods directly imported from Bali is different from the existing capsule hotels and it is a peaceful space where you will be able to relax. Our staff will serve you with smiles in order for our guests to be able to comfortably stay. The jet bath that eases physical fatigue and the mist sauna that has less burden on the body. Helston maifan stone artificial hot spring that contains more than 40 kinds of rich minerals. The mild bath which also has the skin cleaning effect will warm your body and make you refresh yourself. Capsule Room By transforming from the existing round shape to the square shape, we secured a space that is 1.2 times larger. The room is equipped with a LCD TV, high quality headphones, and plugs.

High-end capsule hotel

Reviewed By Jacob_5000

This was our first time staying in a capsule hotel, and we loved it! The capsules are roomy, and have a TV and other amenities. People were quiet, but if you're a light sleeper you should bring earplugs. There are shared toilets and sinks on the same floor, in a separate room from the capsules, and they're very clean. There was also a nice shared spa downstairs, with group showers and hot-tub. The hotel is in Ahihabara, so there are tons of electronics and anime stores around. We had no problems finding places to eat there. There's also a nice neighborhood called Jimbocho within walking distance, which has a lot of cool book stores. I had no complaints -- would happily stay here again.

Reviewed By 0charli

Rooms are clean, modern and well priced. Beds are comfy, rooms have all the usual items plus kettle and coffee, and dyson hairdryers on the women's floor. Bathrooms in the private rooms are the typical plastic capsule types you find in Japan. The hotel is split, some rooms are private hotel style and others are dorm/hostel style. All guests have access to laundry facilities, communal kitchen, and downstairs lobby and restaurant. There is also a massage place operating out of the hotel. Currency exchange machines also available near reception. Taxi rank right outside, and bus stops very close by which go towards the local station Takamatsu-Chikko, and the JR Takamatsu station / Ferry terminals in one direction, and Ritsurin Garden in the other. Kawaramachi station is also within walking distance. Marugame-machi shopping area is just a few doors down from WeBase.
