Stayed for 8 days from 30 Jun - 7 Jul 2023. Stayed on 7F (7 floor, top floor) Pros: 1. Capsules are generally clean. Staff will clean capsules every morning around 9-10am, unless you close the blinds to instruct them not to. 2. Hot and cold onsen as well as sauna room is available. 3. Lockers are large. Can fit my bag-pack and my bags of souvenirs. 4. Stayed during summer period (off peak season), so not very crowded. May be more packed and the experience may be diff during peak seasons. 5. Great location. 5 mins walk from Ueno station.

1. ONLY FOR MALE GUESTS. 2. Coz of the smoking area on 4F, there is a faint smoke smell on the capsule floors. I stayed on 7F and could still smell cigarette smell, so may not quite annoying on the first day. Subsequently, I got used to it. 3. The counter does not do a security verification when handing keys to guests. I’ll just simply ask for my room number key and they’ll give it to me. 4. It’s a public shower and onsen, so if you’re not comfortable, better not to stay 5. Capsule may be hot at times and no fan in room. Usually need to wait for aircon in hall to cool up the entire place. So normally I’ll just open the blinds to my capsule to let the cold air in before I sleep.

Stayed here as it's very close to the Skyliner Airport train to Narita Airport, perfect spot if you need to get to the airport for an early flight. Great little capsule hotel with an Onsen, very traditional Japanese feel compared to the more foreigner focused hotels I stayed at in other parts of the city. Great neighbourhood to explore, lots of good local food and places to get a drink.

No elevator to the second floor so you have to carry your bags up. A bit of a strange system where you leave your key with the front desk when you go out, then pick it up from them when you return.

CLEANNESS Place was very clean overall. The capsule that i was sleeping was clean and also big.(I am 1.93cm. I had some doubts about fitting in the capsule which turned out good.) Showers are like little rooms with a door and they were very clean too. There is also shampoo for you to use . LOCATION It's location is very close to Ueno Station(3-4mins by walking) which is a central station which you can use to reach various subway lines. You can travel from Narita Airport to Ueno station in app. 45mins which is perfect. There is a starbucks, lots of places to eat nearby. WHO SHOULD STAY? If you're person who travels alone and doesn't care about seeing other people sleep, hearing them snor or walk by, this place is perfect for you.

Towels can be bigger. Pillows can be more comfy.

- Check in staff were friendly - Nice public bath and shower. Very comfortable and it came with some light amenities such as toothbrush, razors and q-tips - Bed was surprisingly comfortable - If you stay for more than 1 night. There is no need of mandatory cleaning if you choose not to like in traditional Japanese capsule hotels. Sometimes you want to sleep in which made a huge difference when booking this property and I was so glad that there was no mandatory cleaning to wake up and come back the afternoon to use the room again. - Very retro capsule hotel - Right in the heart of Ueno and walking distance to Akihabara - Lounge chairs were very comfortable and lots of manga to read if you’re into that

- Only 1 elevator to use for the whole capsule hotel/hostel - My TV wasn’t working in terms of showing the programming (barely used it) - For some people not into the retro vibes. This may not be it for you. - The toilets have the very old school toilet and tiles

This hostel was the best of my entire stay in Japan. The facilities were amazing, from the Zen garden on the second floor to the relaxing clay balls. The tatami mats on the floor are very pleasant to walk on, and the showers and common areas are always very clean and well-maintained. You're not woken up at 10:00 AM for cleaning, the dormitories are spacious, and so are the lockers. As soon as I return to Tokyo, I'll go back there!

Details. The machine on the 2nd floor was out of order throughout our week-long stay. The absence of hot tea in the vending machines. And that's all, I think. There wasn't much negative to say.

It's quite good capsule hotel as most of the places are so nearby and you can easily roam outside the streets and most of the attractions such as yodobashi , SensoJi and skytree. I had stayed here for 13nights and it's feels like home to me .

Thing about I didn't like is there's only 1 laundry out there and sometimes you have to wait couple of hours as people's put their laundry for so long and sometimes they forget about it too . So you have to manage that one on yourself.

Second stay here after several years. The place looks quite about the same, so it is good in the sense everything seems overall okay maintained (except the issues below) & not particularly run down or dated. As with other capsule hotels, it is primarily for people who are probably on transit & need an affordable & comfortable place to stay near Ueno, so everything works well for such guests. Nonetheless, this means it can be busy with movements at certain hours.

There is slight problems closing the blind for my capsule as the securing hook on one side is broken. The locker key was also difficult & a bit frustrating to use, it needed to be inserted at a certain angle.

Amazing staff! Clean and well placed ! I really like my trip here and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a nice stay in Tokyo! Very very close to a station and a Konbini! Free wifi fast everywhere, Perfect!

Woke up in the middle of the night to some ruffling, someone was stealing stuff in my pants! It was my fault since I didn't lock it up in the locker but be careful, you don't know who else can be here at the hostel!! I have to say tho that all the customers were very nice and the staff really helped me when I notified them There are lockers in Wich you can store valuable for free so it's very much my fault ahah

Despite its location being in the center of action and next to a half dozen rail lines, the double pained windows kept the noise down quite well. During my week stay, the average age of a guest was 40-something, on top of most being the typical and respective Japanese person.

That's easy. The thin mattress and ill fitting bedding. If I were to return, I would definitely pack a simple camping style air mattress to reduce compression on the body's muscular system caused by hard, unforgiving thin mattress.

They were generous with fresh towels. Vending machines were reasonably priced and the bath and sauna were the perfect temps. You could even use the bath almost all night. Great location with good food and access to the trains.

While the futon upgrade in the Superior capsule was nice, it was still a little thin for me. The capsule really needs a fan to get the air circulated because if you close the curtain, the capsule gets really stuffy. The lounge chairs were also really dusty.
