    “Highly recommended”

    I stayed at two capsule hotels in Asakusa, and this one is overwhelmingly better. It was clean and larger than other capsules, and most importantly, the shower rooms are individual. It was definitely comfortable. The outlets worked well, and the lounge was appropriately quiet and cozy. The other place I used had only one outlet by the bunk beds and was a bit cramped. The stairs were also inconvenient, but this place was overall more comfortable compared to others. The staff was fluent in English, making communication easy and they were friendly. The location is also great, so if I go to a capsule hotel again, it will definitely be here. The value for money is top-notch!

    “A capsule hotel with an excellent location.”

    Check-in is from 3 PM, but I really appreciated that the reception was able to accommodate an early check-in for me. The capsule was clean and very comfortable. I was also sleep-deprived, so I was able to sleep very well. The entire floor was for women, which made me feel safe.

    “A pretty good capsule hotel.”

    This is a capsule hotel with acceptable prices and geographical location during the cherry blossom season. It is very close to Senso-ji Temple and also near the subway station, with a FamilyMart convenience store right across the street. However, Asakusa itself is somewhat remote, and getting out requires a long ride on the Ginza Line, so it's not recommended for long stays. The internal facilities are standard; the male and female floors are separate, each with dedicated elevators that require a key card for security. The capsules are relatively spacious, with power outlets available for charging, and the lockers near the capsules make it convenient to retrieve luggage. Overall, the service and cleanliness are good, but there is no designated makeup area, making the washing and makeup space quite cramped.

    “Great cost performance, quite spacious!”

    I stayed at a capsule hotel for the first time, and it was much larger, cleaner, and more private than I had expected, which was very nice. I could also charge my smartphone and there were lockers available. The Indian restaurant across the street was delicious as well. Doutor is nearby too, so I had breakfast there. I definitely want to use it again.

    “Choosing to stay here for the first three days of my trip to Tokyo was a wise decision.”

    The capsule space is spacious, with complete facilities, overall very clean and quiet (except for the very slight sound of others organizing their luggage). The shower in the bathroom has strong water flow and is very comfortable. There are nearby subway stations (Ginza Line Taninmachi Station), convenience stores, LIFE supermarkets, and a variety of restaurants. I am very satisfied with this accommodation experience.
