Men Only Capsule Room & Sauna, Bathhouse, gim 男性専用サウナ&カプセル Minami Gakugeidai

“Extremely noisy in the night (snoring) and in the morning (constant alarms starting 4:30am).”

“Snoring and alarms from other capsules, but nothing earplugs couldn’t handle.”

“The 6th floor Yogibo rest area was nice but too many people snoring like crazy at night.”

“Capsules are from the 80s. No A/C (too hot to sleep).”

“Capsule may be too short for people above 175cm, I once touched capsule curtains with my legs during sleep and curtain just rolled up very noisy, which woke me up.”

“Beds weren't super comfy, and it was like a 5 minute walk from the metro, otherwise good though!”

“Capsule may be too short for people above 175cm, I once touched capsule curtains with my legs during sleep and curtain just rolled up very noisy, which woke me up.”

“Curtains didn’t really protected from the light outside.”

“Sharing the space with other guests (not much that they can do about it haha). If you are unlucky (like me), you might have a neighbor that snores loudly. I feel like it goes without saying, but you CANNOT fault the property for this (I fortunately brought headphones that doubled as earplugs for the night), but I do want to raise this, as this is something that people need to be aware of before coming. What you see in the photos is what you get. These capsules are right next to and on top of one another, and the walls are not noise-cancelling.”

“You get new towels and pyjamas every day. And they also put clean sheets every day. You also get razor and toothbrush. And there is body wash and shampoo in the onsen.”

“Really dirty capsule around the bed, lots of hairs and junk, the smell is just horrendous, capsules are really old and not isolated at all”

“Facilities were good / clean”

“Greath bath area and sauna.”

“Onsen is really great, its big, has sauna, jakuzzi and cold rinse. Of course you have to get used to the culture of being there naked with a bunch of other Japanese guys.”

“The bathroom/shower experience was honestly one of the worst parts for me. Maybe this was clear in the listing and maybe it was just my misunderstanding, but I expected a more standard/private shower setup and was quite disappointed.”

“The staff were very helpful storing my large luggage.”

“Locker is really thin, so it won’t fit bigger baggage.”

“The lockers provided are quite slim and suitable only for backpacks or suitcases. Large luggage is stored outside the capsules by a wall for longer stays.”

“Friendly staff.”

“Communication was also difficult because the staff spoke very limited English.”

“Some reviews say about receptionists being rude, but I haven’t noticed anything like that, they were always nice and helpful.”

“Location is convenient.”

“Good location and affordable price for Tokyo.”

“Neighborhood is very local, there is 7-eleven next door, station and shopping street with food few minutes walking and also Starbucks (if you need some work done). No tourists anywhere nearby, if thats what you’re looking for.”

“Internet worked fine, there were nice chairs to work in and decent work areas.”

“few tables for laptop.”

“The 6th floor Yogibo rest area was nice but too many people snoring like crazy at night.”

“Don’t expect anything fancy or social. You get traditional Japanese capsule hostel, where nobody cares about you and its usually really quiet (except some snoring and alarms going on).”

“No tourists anywhere nearby, if thats what you’re looking for.”

“I was the only traveller in there and had some funny looks from people. Didn’t really feel welcomed. Not the place to go if travelling.”

“Affordable and well located, but overall not a very comfortable or welcoming experience.”

“I would say its worth the money especially if you don’t need to socialize, you’re not shy of being naked to use onsen, want to workout and can get used to few annoying things.”

“The cost of the stay was similar to a one time stay at a gym making it already great value, they even had a really nice bathing area where you had options of different temperature waters and an outside relaxing chair area and a sauna too.”
