Although I was born in the 90’s, the 70’s vibes were very strong with this place. Sadly, along with the era aura, came the age. It felt particularly run-down and is in clear need of renovation, but it is what I paid for. I slept well, felt safe and was generally satisfied with the overall feel of the place, including the receptionist’s calm and warm demeanour. In terms of location, this capsule hotel was brilliant: being able to walk from Tokyo station was a huge plus in my books. When weighed up, I would stay here again. Don’t go if you’re the Donald Trump or Alan Sugar type...

This Capsule Hotel is good for a one night stay.

The bed was reasonably comfortable but showers are shared. They provided shampoo, soap, face wash, toothbrush. The toilet is traditional japanese style toilet where you squat instead of sit. The amnesties, though slightly old is clean. The staff was also quite courteous and helpful.

I chose this place as it was near both Tokyo station. It was a also a 3 minutes walk from exit 6 of Kyobashi Station. Being in the ginza area, the taxi passed by here a lot and thus I managed to get a cab to get to Tsukiji Fish Market and made it just in time for the auction.

Booked this as a last-minute emergency one-night stay. This ryokan is a genuine, old-school experience if you want to experience mid-20th century Tokyo. I was a bit terrified when I saw how old the facility was, especially the shared showers and the styrofoam-covered floors, but shower rooms are separated by gender and I barely saw anyone at the hostel. The toilets are squat toilets. Of all the hostels I've stayed at in Japan, this one had the most amenities—facial cotton pads, cotton swabs, feminine napkins, Shiseido(!!) toiletries and skincare products. The capsule bed was actually alright; the tv set didn't work and it did have a lingering old smell that didn't bother me too much, but the bed was comfortable and I had a good rest because my room was mainly empty. The WiFi only worked on the ground floor, I believe. Definitely an odd experience if you want to be culturally shocked and experience an urban ryokan. A bit pricey for a night, but I also booked this at the very last minute. Seems like a lot of Japanese people stay here for a quick overnight rest. Wouldn't recommend on staying more than one night, though. Good proximity to see Kyobashi/Nihonbashi nightlife and Tokyo Station.
