A reliable choice for solo travellers seeking a clean, well-located, and good-value capsule stay, particularly those who appreciate onsen facilities.
Capsule Plus Yokohama Sauna & Capsule offers a practical and well-located option for travellers seeking a capsule experience in Yokohama. Guests sleep in enclosed pods, many of which are noted for their spaciousness and effective black-out blinds. While the beds receive mixed reviews for comfort, the property consistently earns praise for its cleanliness across all areas. Shared bathroom facilities are well-maintained and include an onsen-style bath, though the sauna is exclusively for men. The hotel's prime location, just a short walk from Yokohama station and shopping districts, is a significant advantage.

Noise & sleep
Noise is a recurring issue, with guests reporting hearing snoring, people moving around, and noise from nearby showers. Earplugs are recommended.
“ear plugs might be necessary in the case that your bed is next the showers, like mine was, as it kept me awake late at night and early in the morning.”
“I think you shouldn't expect a very good night's sleep if you're staying in a hostel because you can hear many people snoring. However, the wall covering of the capsules didn't let in much sound.”
“At night it can be quite loud, with people snoring and coming in through the room door. You can hear everyone around you, so keep that in mind if you don't sleep well.”
Pod comfort
Reviews are mixed on bed comfort, with some finding them hard and others comfortable. Pod size is generally considered good, but ventilation can be an issue with pods becoming too hot.
“Hard beds”
“Very comfortable mattress Capsule size is good, it wasn't too small”
“Beds could be a little softer”
Privacy
The capsules offer good privacy with effective black-out blinds, providing a sense of isolation.
“The black-out blinds at each capsule REALLY work. Even though the walking area right outside the capsule is always lit, when you're inside the capsule, with the blinds down, it's dark enough to sleep.”
“generally nice and isolated in your capsule.”
Cleanliness
The property is consistently praised for its cleanliness in pods, common areas, and facilities.
“Clean convenient and good value”
“Clean, good facilities, great location”
“The cleanliness, ventilation, common areas, and even the smoking room were all very good.”
Shared bathrooms
The shared bathrooms and sauna facilities are generally clean and well-stocked with toiletries. However, the sauna is exclusively for men, and some guests noted a lack of hooks/shelves in the women's shower room and dim lighting in the make-up area.
“Maybe brighter lighting is needed where women do their hair and make up in the shower room. In the shower room there are no hooks/hangers to place clothes while you shower and the shelf to place things on is quite small.”
“The bath and sauna was good”
“Sauna only available to men”
Luggage storage
There is a separate luggage storage area, which is appreciated, though individual lockers are noted to be small and can be difficult to access if others are using them.
“Aside from the locker area, they have a separate space for you to store your luggage”
“Lockers were small”
“I felt secure leaving my luggage in the luggage room”
Staff & check-in
Staff service is generally good, with some instances of unhelpful or impolite staff during check-in, particularly regarding language barriers. Many staff are described as friendly and efficient.
“some staff not so helpful”
“This time the staff quickly confirmed my reservation and gave the necessary information. I was checked-in in less than 5 mins.”
“I was tired and had a bit of a difficulty understanding the check-in, the girl who was checking me in could have been more polite and accommodating. She needs to understand that guests might not be able to hear or understand her, having just arrived. Rest of staff were great.”
Location & access
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, being very close to Yokohama station (5-10 minute walk) and shopping areas, making it convenient for transport and amenities.
“Super close to the Yokohama train station (7-10min walk), and to what seems like the area's main shopping district (a 5min walk)”
“5 min walking to the main entrance to the Shinyokohama station, and close to the shopping area.”
“Cheap and close to the railway station.”
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is generally described as relaxed, though some guests wished for cozier common areas, especially given the daily requirement to vacate the capsule area.
“Especially if you stay multiple days but get kicked out of the capsule area every day at 11am, it would be nice if the common area can be a little cosier.”
“Relaxed atmosphere”
“The atmosphere in general is relaxed and you can feel at home.”
Value for money
Guests consistently find the property to offer good value for money, especially considering its convenient location and facilities.
“Clean convenient and good value”
“For what it costs it's worth it.”
“Good bang for your buck, near the station with plenty of restaurants around.”
