I reserved this hotel for my cousin, it was the first time she did an international solo trip. The property is near Nijo Castle which is close to the Nishiki Market, the downtown arcades and Heian Shrine. The capsules are wide, conveniently separate by gender and they are cleaned every three days. Within the common area you can have snacks, traditional drinks and water. The facilities include hot spring, hair dryer, washing machine and fast Wi-Fi connection. The staff is friendly, definitely a nice place for solo travelers. Highly recommended for women.

Very clean and the amenities were great! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to use the on site onsen with tattoos even though there’s a sign that says no tattoos, but I asked the staff and they insured me it was fine! Had a great stay!

You need to bear in mind that this is a capsule hotel designed for people who normally only stay a night or two. There’s a transient clientele who have their own needs such as late arrivals and very early starts which can be disruptive for your sleeping. The hotel is well placed for sightseeing and access to transport.

This hotel was very clean. It was conveniently located for shopping and walking. The only negative that I had was that some of the residents were quite loud and disruptive at quiet time hours. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend bringing earplugs for sleeping.

Nice capsule hotel. The onsen is not tattoo friendly, so know that going in. If youre a bigger/taller person you may want to spend a little extra for the larger rooms

I had a pleasant stay at First Cabin Nijojo. The location was excellent for transportation, making it convenient to explore the area. However, it felt somewhat crowded compared to my experience at First Cabin Roppongi in Tokyo, which I personally preferred. Despite this, the overall experience at First Cabin Nijojo was positive. I appreciate the service provided during my stay.

Dryers don't function well. Took literally 30 hours to complete my laundry, it destroyed some of my white clothes due to oversteaming, and after 14 hours they still weren't dry and needed to be hung overnight. Not even the staff could dry them properly and it ruined some new clothes I had just bought here.

The capsule hotel was such a fun experience, everything was nice and clean, it was super quiet at night. Loved the shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom! They were also very accomodating when I arrived early. My only complaint has to do with the location—kind of a far walk to the trains and the neighborhood is more residential and not very exciting so you kind of feel far removed.

I really like my first few days of stay here at First Cabin. I thought that the snacks and Yalkult were a nice touch! Unfortunately, on the last few days, I couldn’t sleep due to the constant noises of people around me packing/unpacking as late as 11 pm and early as 6:30 am. Therefore, I didn’t really get a goodnight’s rest. I would advice the hotel to just let the customers know that they shouldn’t be making noises in the cabin halls during late at night or early morning when people are sleeping.
