Dirtiest hostel we found in japan but still better than most in India. Good character cheap and friendly. Capsule living was certainly an experience.

Dont stay here..also Male only hotel. Yeah didnt realise that. Very run down, smelly, quite revolting to be honest. Try K's house or even the Ace Inn much much nicer. Sorry this hotel is def a no go in my books..

Also very close to Asakusa metro station which is very good place to get to the rest of Tokyo from, and down the street is a really famous temple.close

The beds were good, shower was average, the staff was very helpfull and friendly, and they knew a lot of origami, so i could fold paper with them all day if i wanted to :D Its an experience to stay in a capsule hotel, and this one is ideal since its like 20 meters away from subway and all...

Great plus for capsule hotel was that it was open 24h/day. Capsules were not most modern and lockers were quite small for pack packers, but I did slept well. Good common equipments, but bathroom wasn't tht good.

Nice location near pretty much across the street from Asakusa station. The lady at the desk was enjoyable to talk to. If I were to be forced to critique, I'd say another guest computer (or two) would be ideal. Just one computer leads to lots of waiting.

The electronics (TV/radio) in the capsules were pretty old, but you don't really want to spend too much time in there anyway. But overall, the price was more than right.close

Great location. Cleanliness...average. I think my feet were bitten by bedbugs on my stay but...ok. Very cheap and good size bed. Location is so good that if I am looking to save money on my next trip I will definitely consider it again.

Really good to allow people to sleep in when they are checked in for another day. Other hostels kick you out between 11am and 3pm for "cleaning".

Only one computer with internet, but it was free most of the time. Close to Asakusa, but with my JR pass from Ueno station i had to walk a lot. Buying metro ticket could save me some walking but for a price.... It's not a bad place to stay, but for the same price there are much better options in...

I have nothing to complain. A clean and cheap capsule-style hotel right NEXT to the Asakusa Subway station (Ginza line), providing easy access to other places in Tokyo. No curfew. Clean public bathing room on 2nd floor with lockers. I could stay again!
