Capsule Hotels in Tokyo

"Initially, I was a bit worried due to some negative reviews, but after checking in, I realized my concerns were unnecessary. My experience was excellent, very satisfying, and the place was incredibly clean. I believe anyone staying in a hostel would prioritize hygiene, and this hostel was exceptionally clean. It's cleaned daily. Check-in was self-service; I booked online first, then used the self check-in kiosk at the front desk. I booked an all-female dorm, which was very clean, and the beds were already made up upon arrival 👍. There are also separate washroom facilities, including showers and toilets, each with its own door. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair dryers – everything is provided, and they even had feminine hygiene products in the toilet, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff were also very helpful and responsive to all my questions. The location is excellent too, right next to Sensoji Temple Station, just three stops from Tokyo Station. I ended up extending my stay for another night, haha, because I was so pleased! Wishing the owner great success and prosperity in business."

"I absolutely loved this hostel and highly recommend it! It's very quiet, and even with 12 beds in one room, everyone was considerate, so I slept really well. The blackout curtains were great, letting me sleep in naturally. The washroom area was also very clean. The price is incredibly affordable, making it perfect for solo travelers. I stayed for two nights and truly enjoyed it here. There's free coffee and a lounge on the second floor. You can see the Skytree from a short walk down the street, and it's only about a 10-minute walk to Senso-ji Temple. Right across the road, there's a Uniqlo, MUJI, and a drugstore, making shopping super convenient. I'm not sponsored, just genuinely recommending this place!"

"The staff were very friendly and even took the time to sit down and chat with the guests, which made us feel very welcome. They were accommodating throughout our stay. There was always a good supply of tissues and toiletries, and the pantry offered free hot and cold water, along with chopsticks, spoons, and forks. A microwave and tea were also available for guests to use. The only thing I was hoping for was complimentary coffee, but aside from that, everything was excellent. I had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this place."

"I had a fantastic stay at this capsule hotel. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Shinjuku, making it easy to explore Tokyo and access public transportation. The capsule beds were comfortable and surprisingly private. The hotel has a very unique and traditional atmosphere, with an interesting concept that makes the experience much more memorable than staying in a regular hotel. One of the highlights was the hot tub, which was perfect for relaxing after a long day of walking around the city. I also really appreciated all the complimentary amenities, including coffee, breakfast, and even alcoholic drinks, which added great value to the stay. If you're looking for a different and authentic experience in Tokyo, I would definitely recommend this place. Great location, excellent facilities, and a truly unique concept."

"The hotel is right next to the station exit, with a convenience store less than a 5-minute walk away, and some restaurants within 10 minutes. It's very clean, but the air conditioning can't be adjusted by guests. Toiletries are provided, and they even include pajamas. The bathroom is great. However, you can't stay in your room from 11 AM to 3 PM as that's when they clean, regardless of whether you need it or not."

"I stayed in the men's guest room. After checking in on the 1st floor, I received a card with a QR code. Then, taking the elevator to the 2nd floor, I could use the locker corresponding to my room number. The 2nd floor has lockers, bathrooms, and sinks. In my case, I was assigned to the 5th floor. I left my luggage on the 2nd floor and slept soundly on the 5th floor. Also, on the 10th-floor lounge, you can enjoy the night view (Tokyo Tower is visible) or eat food. However, there's no microwave, so you have to heat up convenience store meals at the convenience store. One inconvenience is that you can only move between floors via the elevator, which is a hassle. Everything else is convenient and the facilities are good, but this elevator is really frustrating. Even more so from a Korean perspective. Nevertheless, the capsule room is relatively spacious, which makes it convenient. However, it's unavailable from 11 AM to 3 PM, so you can't comfortably rest during the day. Aside from about two downsides, there don't seem to be any other major issues. The serious one is the elevator. That's all."

"Excellent overall, though the top bunk design is a bit impractical; the support area for the knees is quite hard, which is a minor inconvenience. Everything else is pretty much perfect. The common areas are nice, but there are some rules, like needing to wear a Japanese yukata. Other than that, the travel amenities are complete, and the hot springs are a highlight – it's clearly a hot spring hotel, which seems to be their main business. Overall, it was a good experience. There are a few minor inconveniences, mainly having to wear a Japanese yukata to enter the relaxation area, though I understand their concept and it's quite unique. For a typical travel hotel, it can be a bit inconvenient. It's best suited for those looking for a simple rest."

"Great stay! The location is excellent, very convenient for exploring Shibuya. The hostel is clean, and the capsule bed is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Staff were friendly, and everything was well organized. Would definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"I really enjoyed the stay! The location is just perfect, Nanjing Road, The Bund and the old city are very nearby. The room, restrooms and showers were very clean all the time and the service was excellent. Jing was the best guy at the reception, he even surprised me with a little gift when I checked out, appreciate it a lot :) Next time when in Shanghai, I’ll definitely stay at Dayin Hostel again!"

"I chose Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae because of its convenient location, but I was disappointed by the cleanliness and maintenance of the capsule. The capsule had visible dust buildup in the gaps and corners, indicating that these areas are not cleaned thoroughly. More concerning, the air vents inside the capsule were dusty and did not appear to be working at all. With little to no airflow, the capsule became stuffy and uncomfortable, especially during the night. For a capsule hotel where guests spend hours in a small enclosed space, proper ventilation and cleanliness are essential. I hope management improves its cleaning standards and ensures that the ventilation system is regularly maintained and functioning properly. The excellent location is overshadowed by these sanitation and maintenance issues."
