Noise & sleep
Noise isolation is a common capsule hotel issue here, with some guests reporting quiet stays and good sleep, while others were disturbed by snoring neighbours and thin walls, necessitating earplugs.
“The capsule area was the widest I’ve seen, plenty of room and very quiet , I slept great here. The bathrooms were also very clean.”
“air can barely worked, also poor sound resistance - couldn’t sleep because of the other guests snoring.”
“Keep in mind that since it is a capsule hotel, walls are thin so bring earplugs.”
Pod comfort
Pod comfort is mixed, with some guests finding the capsules spacious and quiet, while others experienced issues with extreme heat, stuffiness, and cleanliness within the pod itself. Mattresses are described as thin or a bit hard.
“On the one cold winter night I lived in the hotel in December 2025, the temperature in the male domitory was extremely high. The lobby, locker room and the rest of the hotel has normal air conditioning, but I was sweating even when not wearing any clothes in my capsule, which is a first after quite a lot of capsule hotel stays(usually a temperature problem would be too cold which can be offset by simply wearing more clothes).”
“my capsule was full of all kinds of body hair and dirt where the thin mattress didn’t quite reach the door curtain. The smell in the sleeping room was also the worst of any shared sleeping room I’ve stayed in in Japan, like mildew and wet gym socks. It was quite stuffy and hard to sleep the first night, better the second two nights (and this was at the end of September, I’m sure peak summer gets pretty rough).”

“The bathrooms were dirty, but that also depends on who is staying at the same time you’re there and how much they respect shared spaces. I saw a lot of hair and piles of trash left behind in shower spaces. Made me feel kind of grossed out.”
Shared bathrooms
Shared bathrooms are generally well-regarded for cleanliness and amenities, including shampoo, soap, hair dryers, and even individual steam rooms. Some guests found shower rooms small, and occasional issues with cleanliness were noted, attributed to other guests.
“The shower room was small. I wish it was bigger because I am tall.”

Luggage storage
The hotel provides lockers for bag storage, described as a nice size by some. For oversized luggage, there's a separate room with chain locks. However, some guests found the lockers too small for large suitcases, forcing them to store luggage in their capsules.
“You can put suitcases that cannot fit inside the lockers in a separate room and they provide chain locks.”
“nice size lockers for bag storage and clean showers.”
“Also, if you have oversized luggage then lockers are too small and you are forced to squeeze it in your capsule which restricts the space you can sleep in.”
Staff & check-in
