Noise & sleep
Noise isolation is generally good within the capsules, with some guests surprised by the quietness. However, street noise can be an issue, and earplugs are provided.
“You also can hear noises from the street ( there was a party/festival near while i was staying though, so maybe it isnt as bad normally), so if you are sensitive to that, its something to keep in mind. ( the hotel provides earplugs)”
“Better than expected. No issues with sound which was surprising.”
“Quiet capsules.”
Pod comfort
Guests generally find the capsules comfortable, spacious, and well-ventilated, with good air conditioning and comfortable mattresses.
“The capsule was really clean, and it was more spacious than I had anticipated. It also had a wall mirror, which made it feel even bigger. It was also very well ventilated, and you could feel fresh air coming in.”
“The Capsule itself was comfortable, good temperature, well ventilated.”
“The mattress was very comfortable and each pod has a really good air conditioning system that keeps air fresh and clean.”
Privacy
The capsules offer more privacy than traditional hostels. However, movement from adjacent capsules can be felt, and lockers are not provided with locks.
“more privacy than in a hostel.”
“I didn’t have any issue for the first two nights until the third night when a guest stayed inside the capsule above mine. Every time when the person turned or moved, I could feel the movement.”
“locks for the lockers should be provided (could be for a fee)”
Cleanliness
The property is consistently praised for its cleanliness, including capsules, common areas, and bathrooms. Isolated incidents of old stains on sheets are noted but not indicative of overall poor hygiene.
“Overall everything was good. It was clean but there was a stain on my sheet. Sheets were washed and ironed obviously. It was an old stain but still it wasn’t very nice sleep on it.”
“Very clean, well located, great staff.”
“The capsule was really clean, and it was more spacious than I had anticipated.”
Shared bathrooms
Shared bathrooms are generally clean, but showers receive mixed reviews for low pressure, small size, and lack of space for clothes, leading to potential water spillage.
“Showers were also horrible (low pressure).”
“small showers”
“I think the shower areas were not the greatest. If you wanted privacy you went in, however you needed to fit your clothes and a change of clothes with you in a cluttered space where the water could spill on them if you weren't careful.”
Luggage storage
Luggage storage is a significant drawback, with guests noting a lack of space inside capsules, no dedicated larger lockers for suitcases, and no storage available after check-out.
“Lack of small shelf space or hooks for organization inside the capsule. Outside the capsule, there is nothing except one small hook to hang the big towel.”
“No luggage store space for after check out.”
“I wish there were bigger lockers for suitcases and big backpacks. I just put my luggage in the capsule because I didn't know where to put it otherwise.”
Staff & check-in
Staff are consistently described as friendly, courteous, and helpful, assisting with luggage storage and check-in issues.
“Very clean, well located, great staff.”
“The people who worked were very nice!”

“Location is perfect 6 mins walking to central station and there is a 7/11 by the corner.”
“The Capsule Hotel is located at a very convenient location - a short walk from the central train station; close to many tourist attractions within walking distance.”
