Tokyo Hostels

Incredible stay! I wish I stayed here again, really. My main concern when staying at capsule hotels and hostels is the noise, but because it’s a rule not to make noise or eat or take calls where the pods are here, it was very relaxing. I stayed as a traveller but many people stay for work purposes. The television was a nice luxury, but I really like that each of the pods had two outlets and the air conditioner was really powerful. I also really liked the secure storage next to the bed. I stayed in the Business Class pod, which was perfect for a three-night stay. I keep forgetting that I can just stand in there, but I could and it was really nice to have the extra headroom and not feel too closed in. I really want to try the First Class for a longer stay, so next time I am in Tokyo, hopefully I can stay there. The included breakfast was also very good with many options, and the lounge/common area was the best one among the places I’ve stayed on my trip, especially since I had to do some work. Really, First Cabin is made for people working for travel. It’s the perfect blend of capsule hotel and business hotel. Being able to use the sento on-site was perfect after a long day (although the website says no tattoos allowed, I asked the front desk person who checked me in if it was okay to use it since I have western-style tattoos, and they said it was okay). You get new towels (and slippers!) everyday. I like that they have both curling and flat irons for hair, as well as hair dryers of course. The self-serve amenities at the front desk covered everything, even a shower towel. The laundry machines were really well-maintained and clean. It was a great location, a few stops away from Shinjuku Station so not too busy and chaotic, but still close to everything. There’s a drug store right next door, and an Mos Burger and other places to eat just steps away. The area around Ichigaya Station was really nice, and I wish I spent more time exploring around there.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom had heating and a drying function, which was great for drying clothes. The space had many thoughtful designs. I stayed for four nights and was very satisfied. The room had two large trash cans and two small ones, so I didn't have to worry about managing trash. The cooking facilities were excellent. It's very suitable for families, and it's also convenient for visiting nearby attractions. There's a fantastic BBQ restaurant right around the corner. The only thing to note is that you need to make a reservation for the BBQ place. Their beef tongue is delicious!

It was too noisy... I consider myself someone who can sleep anywhere as soon as my head hits the pillow, but here I woke up almost every hour. First, there were white women chatting in the common area, then people in my room rustling through their luggage, then doors opening and closing. I feel like the door locks and the ability to bring luggage into the room aren't very well thought out. The location is great, about ten minutes from Shinjuku Station. However, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have an exceptionally high tolerance for noise. 🥲

Good price for a capsule within walking distance of a JR station that reaches ikebukuro and Shinjuku pretty fast. Even has an onsen and sauna! Has a chill area to read manga and buy beer also. Staff also friendly and speaks English which is good to not get lost Only downside is the baggage area is quite messy and feels a bit dirty

Four of us shared a room, and we were all very considerate, so there was no noise. The room was clean and tidy. The front desk service was excellent. Breakfast was a bit simple, but the location was fantastic, and they even offer luggage storage!

Nice location in the heart of asakusa very close to the station but also quiet. Traditional Japanese style huge huge room (got the top floor suite) at a very good price. Basic 3star amenities from an apart hotel.

This hotel is super convenient with a great location. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. It's a shame that the front desk staff were unfriendly! That's the most annoying part, especially since it was my first stay and I just wanted to ask a simple question. The two Japanese staff members seemed particularly annoyed and impolite. They even took my suitcase without asking me first.

Very comfortable stay at a modern hostel a short walk from Shibuya Centre. I slept very well - probably because I had the best bunk bed in the dorm - tucked around the corner in front of the window. My dorm mates were mostly quiet and respectful. The toilets and showers just outside in the corridor were very clean as well. Good shower pressure. Very happy with my stay. Would recommend.

I chose Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae because of its convenient location, but I was disappointed by the cleanliness and maintenance of the capsule. The capsule had visible dust buildup in the gaps and corners, indicating that these areas are not cleaned thoroughly. More concerning, the air vents inside the capsule were dusty and did not appear to be working at all. With little to no airflow, the capsule became stuffy and uncomfortable, especially during the night. For a capsule hotel where guests spend hours in a small enclosed space, proper ventilation and cleanliness are essential. I hope management improves its cleaning standards and ensures that the ventilation system is regularly maintained and functioning properly. The excellent location is overshadowed by these sanitation and maintenance issues.

I checked in the night before CM107 Day 2. For just over 100 per night, and with its super convenient location for taking the Seagull to Odaiba (or the Monorail to the airport), the price is definitely unbeatable. The subway Daimon Station is right downstairs, along with convenience stores. Staff service made check-in easy. The bed was quite firm, which I actually found comfortable after not sleeping well on soft beds the previous two nights. There's a light inside the capsule, but only one two-pin socket, which was a bit insufficient.
