I was pretty knackered; checked in late and had the Onsen to myself. This hotel is obviously very jaded, quite dirty for Tokyo standards.

But, the novelty of my first stay in a capsule hotel really made the experience a lot better!

The capsules themselves are pretty poor standard having stayed in better once since. No power point. Snorers disturbed my sleep and I awoke before being disturbed by cleaners!

I didn't bother with the common area due to not being overly keen on the smell of stale cigarette smoke.

Tip: Go out on the roof at night for a great neon view of this part of Tokyo!

You get what you pay for. A night here is cheap (relatively- as it is Tokyo!) but it''s obviously nothing fancy. Capsules are clean and neat and perfectly comfortable but there is no plug point to charge phones etc overnight which is annoying. Bathroom, which is shared but quite nice was also clean, but the rest of the hostel wasn''t clean and there was actually some trash lying around. One member of staff was lovely and helpful, others were not really which was strange as every other Japanese person I encountered on my trip was wonderfully friendly and lovely! you pay more to stow your luggage; the advantage being that you can keep it there after you check out (disadvantage being it''s another cost- although a good sized locker is only 300 yen). Great location. Asakusa is great and on the Ginza line.

As a place to sleep for one night if you're exhausted from working or partying and can't afford a long taxi ride home after midnight, this capsule hotel is serviceable. The beds and toilets are fairly clean. Though the capsule space is shared, it's quiet enough for you to get a good night's sleep, even if some of the other patrons snore through the thin curtains. Unfortunately, that's where the positive qualities end.

The hallways throughout the hotel smelled of cigarette smoke, even though there are only certain designated areas. It's as if the hotel has no ventilation. The common room (which also stinks of cigarettes) is fine if you're doing work, as there are a couple of tables, and it's the only area in the whole hotel that has wi-fi. It's not the best places to relax, as the couch and sofa chairs are really firm.

I would NOT recommend this place for people who are working late. My friend and I were working late nights and were hoping to sleep in. On our first night, we were unwelcomely surprised by the cleaner, who knocked on our curtains and drew them up hastily. He kept repeating the word "clean" while walking up and down the corridor, forcing us to wake up. This happened each of the three mornings we stayed there. Everyone else staying on the floor had already gotten up and left. Basically, it is a strict hotel rule that they have to clean the capsule beds around 10 am (I think there is an exception on the second floor). We asked for permission to sleep longer, and the staff would not allow it. It doesn't make any sense if one person is staying in a capsule over an extended period of time.

The other problem is that you can only shower in the public bath, i.e. onsen, on the top floor, which is only available early in the morning between 6am-9am and 3pm-12am. You can use the onsen in Asakusa for about ¥500, but it's a bit inconvenient if you've got a bunch of plans for the day.

The people working at the counter were mostly sullen and unfriendly whenever my friend and I approached. We never felt welcome. It feels as though they are resistant to westerners coming in. When you enter the hotel, there's a fairly laborious process where you have to take of your shoes, put them in the locker, then give the locker keys to the receptionist. I respect having to take of your shoes when entering certain indoor areas, but this procedure is frustrating if, for example, you forget something in your capsule and have to run up to get it.

If you want try out the novelty of a capsule hotel, I suggest trying one of the other ones around the city. It's much cheaper to stay the night at a love hotel, and from what I've heard, much more comfortable. The Khaosan Origami Hostel is nearby and offers a comparatively luxury hotel experience for the same price. When the day came to check out of this place, we couldn't wait to leave.

Room tip: Like a bunk bed, there are usually two rows of capsules on each floor. Request one of the lower capules. Also, we had the advantage of staying in one of the few capsules where the bed is perpendicular to the entrance, so it's easier to get in.

My friend and I stayed in the female capsule dorm and it was SUCH a great, unique experience. The capsules were super cozy, very clean, and even had tvs. They were definitely big enough to put our luggage in so we didn't need to pay for an extra locker. The location was great, really close to public transportation and the Senso-ji shrine. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to experience the capsule life in Japan!

The capsules are a cool experience. It was super cheap compared to lots of hostels and hotels in the area. The location is great. However, you have to enter through the back (you don't have to but the front entrance is not in English and you will have no idea that it's the capsule hotel that you booked). Get off at Asakusa Station from the Ginza line and automatically turn right down the little side street. You'll see the green sign. Some staff spoke English, others didn't. I didn't need any crazy information from them so the language barrier was okay for me - might depend how long you're staying. The capsules were cool. The showers are in a public room so be prepared to see other naked people. I only stayed one night and that's what I would recommend.
