Noise & sleep
While one review mentioned the property being silent, another explicitly warned about a lack of soundproofing in the capsules, making it potentially problematic for light sleepers.
“silent”
“No soundproofing in the capsules so beware if you're easily bothered by snorers or noises while sleeping.”
Pod comfort
Guests have mixed opinions on pod comfort, with some finding them surprisingly comfortable and spacious with good amenities like plugs, lights, and fans, while others complain about thin mattresses and creaking beds.

Privacy
There is limited information on privacy, but one review noted that lockers were slightly smaller than expected, though not a major issue.
“The lockers were a bit smaller than other similar priced hotels, but not a deal breaker at all.”
Cleanliness

“The lockers were a bit smaller than other similar priced hotels, but not a deal breaker at all.”
Staff & check-in

“Staffs were friendly, nice and helpful.”
“I tried to talk with person at front desk but they were unhelpful”
“Clean, very nice staff (even if they dont speak english, they will try their best to make you comfortable, just use Google Translate)”
Location & access
The location is consistently praised as excellent, being very close to metro and train stations, near Roppongi, Azabu Juban, and Tokyo Tower, with many restaurants nearby.
“Perfect location near Roppongi with amazing transport links!”
“The location was excellent. So closed to Azabu Juban area & metro stations”
“Lots of restaurants around for your picking. Close to Tokyo towers.”
Wifi & working
The lounge area is not conducive to working, with uncomfortable seating and limited legroom, making it more suitable for relaxation than productivity.
“The lounge area doesn't have the most comfortable seating so not good for doing any sort of work. There are chairs at a counter, though more of a cabinet so no leg room. The lounge itself is a small room with Japanese-style floor seating and low tables. If you're not accustomed to this, it may be uncomfortable. It's definitely more for relaxing than doing work.”

The hotel offers a modern, luxurious, and chill atmosphere, with a well-designed lounge area, appealing to those seeking a relaxed environment.
