Pros: I don’t usually stay in hostels but as Tokyo is quite expensive and I was coming alone I thought I’d try this one. It was much better than an average hostel - so clean and everything you need for a good stay. The staff were really nice too! It was not populated by young noisy groups and generally the atmosphere was calm and respectful. I actually found the beds really comfortable to sleep in, once you’re in you’re really tucked up for the night! And the area is great - at first it feels away from the main hub of Shinjuku but it’s so nice to come back to a more calm and quaint area with lots of things to see and do. There’s a bar and it’s nice place to chill with a drink which is good if you’re on your own.

Pros: The staff was amazing! They were friendly and held events for the guests. The atmosphere brought guests from different parts of the world together.
Cons: I didn't know going in, but it is a capsule style dormitory. There isn't a secure place to put your bags, luckily everyone there at the time were pretty respectable of each other's property.

Cons: Breakfast was pretty basic - bread with jam, boiled eggs and coffee or juice. You get 1 drink free and can pay 100yen for a refill, which I inevitably did. You get a very small locker at the head of the capsule - only enough for valuables (and then my laptop only just fit in it!). I just about fit my back pack in my capsule along my bed, which was fine, but good to be aware of this if you’re coming.
9,2 Excellent
Pros: Quick and simple explanation of how things work.
Cons: The capsules could be closed by doors rather than curtains.

Pros: Except a few things about other guests, the hotel was great

Very Japanese indeed on the amount of details and reminders with rules that one gets to see in this hostel.
Cons: It would have been better if the shower room would be on the same floor together with the powder room. Would have been better as well if they could turn the lights off and on inside the dormitory room at bedtime using motion-detector sensors. As I remember, the lights were on throughout the night, albeit in a moderate tone.

Pros: Excellent Capsule hotel with brilliant facilities. The capsule itself was comfortable enough, could do with being slightly longer but I understand the country in general is not made for the taller man. The shower facilities were excellent along with the free shower gel/shampoo/hair brush etc that was provided. The steam room and onsen both were the bonus cherry on top. Breakfast was simple rice with topping but there was plenty for all guests, along with drinks machine that were free to use all day for soda/water/coffee. Location is ideal, right beside Shinjuku station so all of Tokyo is easily accessible. Great base for a tokyo stay

Location is ideal, right beside Shinjuku station so all of Tokyo is easily accessible. Great base for a tokyo stay
Cons: The layout could be slightly better. The large lockers which held your bags were on bottom floor while shower facilities etc were on level 2. Not a big deal. Having to wear same brown clothes when in the hotel was a little strange but not a point which would discourage me staying again

Pros: Fantastic location, right next to Shinjuku station for ease of access to anywhere in and around Tokyo. Capsule itself was comfortable and the amenities were excellent, especially the bath and the comfortable manga café area.
Cons: As with most shared dormitories, the experience will vary greatly depending on who the other occupants are. When they are inconsiderate, it can be hard to sleep. But mostly they were fine. The system for storing luggage on the ground floor is cumbersome, but not insurmountable. One has to get used to packing and unpacking in the locker room, essentially.
2,5 Mediocre
Pros: I did not even make it to the accomodation.
Cons: I could not attend due to the typhoon blocking my plane from landing after I pre-paid the full 200 euros for my stay. No one replied to my email to cancel the reservation and thus I have paid 200 euros for nothing. I'm sure the place is nice but they either cannot speak English or are not caring to answer email :(

Cons: I don't quite understand that you get slippers, a morning gown and face washer but no towel. Being new to Japan, maybe that is normal. Might have to buy a towel, never expereineced this in Europe. I first felt expensive for what it was, a tiny room. But again, I'm not up on Tokyo prices and it's probably not expensive.

Pros: Staff was friendly, helpful. Cafe was convenient. Decent location. Good price.
Cons: Was in the lower dorm, and the downstairs washroom, shower was being renovated. Had to walk up a flight of stairs, pass view of the main lobby to use the washroom. A real pain. Towels should be free of charge. Generally not very clean.
