Noise & sleep
Noise isolation is a mixed bag; some guests found it surprisingly quiet, while others experienced typical capsule hotel noise issues, particularly snoring from neighbours, which can be easily heard.
“思ったよりも静かで快適でした。”
“いびきがうるさい”
“カプセルホテルのようなので当たり前かもしれないですが隣の部屋の音は丸聞こえなので気を使いますし、いびきがうるさい人がいると寝れないかもしれないです。”
Pod comfort
Guests generally find the sleeping arrangements comfortable, with good bedding and enough space for a backpack. However, some note that air circulation inside the capsules can be an issue, leading to warmth.
“快適に横になって眠れる”
“カプセル内もカーテンで仕切られ寝具も快適でした。”
“It was a bit hot due to the curtains blocking off air circulation into the capsule, but nothing you can do about it during this weather.”
Privacy
The pods offer good privacy with curtains and walls, providing a sense of personal space beyond a typical bunk bed. Lockers are available for securing belongings.
“カプセル内もカーテンで仕切られ寝具も快適でした。”
“Having walls around your bed space and not a classical bunk bed situation makes it private and quiet so it’s suitable for light sleepers as well in my opinion”
“いわゆるカプセルホテルで、こういう施設の利用は初めてでプライバシーの部分は仕方ないものの、鍵、コインロッカーなど、当たり前なのかもだけど、しっかり考えられていた”

“Clean showers, no mold. Towels and floor mats available too. Toilets clean.”
Luggage storage
Lockers are available for securing belongings, and there is some space for backpacks inside the capsules. However, guests with large luggage may find it challenging due to narrow stairs and the lack of an elevator, and the property does not offer pre-check-in bag storage.

“And also if u have massive luggage, might be an issue. Have to climb the stairs to other levels for the rooms and the stairs is a little narrow.”
“They don’t keep your bag before the check-in But they said it when you book.”

“Location is about 15 min walk from cbd”
