small but well designed hostel with excellent location. everything works except….noisy guests there is no enforcement of noise in the bunks, its a typical problem with many non-japanese guests who stay in groups (not solo). they talk loudly (couples or groups taking single bunks) totally oblivious to all the rest of people sleeping. yes, and they use the hair dryer at midnight, and thats not all…

Great place

Very clean, well managed place. Nice staff, great location close to the metro. Only complaint I have is that the beds are horizontally placed along the hall, which make the sounds isolation slightly worse than other capsels i have been to. There was someone in the room with a very loud alarm which they didn’t turn off in the morning -.- Not the hostels fault but yeah. Not cool… Staff gave me earplugs for free tho so + for that :)

i didnt like how uncomfortable the capsules were. the pillows (its usually inside i feel) are on the outer side of the capsule because the air circulation is just so bad on the inside. Also poor lighting inside the capsule, feels very run down

カプセルホテルへ何度も泊まっていますが、比較的に 綺麗で、シャワールームも沢山あり良かったです。ただ2段ベッドの上になるとかなりの高低差があり、はしごも少しずれているので（隣との間にあるため）降りるときは結構怖かったです。 下段へはプラス料金で変更も可能だそうですので、不安な方は変更のご検討も良いかもしれません。ありがとうございました。

国際通りから少し外れるため静かなエリアだが、駅チカでアクセスが良くドミトリーもセミダブルくらいの広さで天井も高く快適。 近くにコンビニ大手三社もあり不便なし。 階段で二階まで荷物を運ぶのが一苦労ではあるが価格を考えると妥当。 宿自体は大きな不満はないが、利用客の質の低下が気になるところ。水回りの使用後が汚いためチェックイン時にマナーを周知して欲しい。せっかくおしゃれなのに安かろう悪かろうになりつつある。以前から利用していて気に入っているだけに残念なポイント。 リーズナブルな価格なのに個別にアメニティを提供してくれて親切。総合的にはまた利用したい宿。
