The day after staying here, I developed a small itchy swelling on my back.It's probably a tickIt was my fault for sleeping topless due to the heat, but I'm really disappointed in the hygiene aspect.The location is good, and the customers and staff are very friendly, so I think it's okay to stay there if you're prepared to get bitten by a tick in the worst case scenario.I won't use it anymore

I chose it as a place to stay for a live tour.I think I was satisfied with the price.The front desk staff responded politely.There was enough space for people to take a rest in the bath, so I was able to take a relaxing bath.If you're looking for good service, I think it's better to spend more money and stay at another hotel, but if you're looking for a place to sleep, you can choose.

As others have written, the lockers are quite small with an upper and lower type, and are narrow and difficult to use. I happened to have a locker in the corner, so it was better, but in the morning it would be crowded and it would be difficult.Even if it's only during busy times, I'd like to have a curtain-like space in the dining room next door to change clothes.The changing room also only has shelves, so you can't bring valuables with you. There seemed to be only one coin laundry.The toilets and baths are clean, so I guess it's only suitable for staying overnight when traveling to Tokyo with light equipment.I'm 169cm tall, but my legs hit the curtains when I sleep inside the capsule, so the capsule may be a little short.

I used it during the Obon holiday. It's about 10 minutes from JR Ueno Station, so I looked at the directions on Google Maps in advance and got there without getting lost. Shoes are strictly prohibited in the facility, and there is a shoe rack at the entrance where you can change into slippers. The shoe closet has a lock, but when you go out, you can't wait for the key and leave it attached to the shoe closet, so when you come back from going out, someone else uses it. In other words, slippers are shared. I stayed on the 4th floor. I decided on this hotel this time after looking at images of the facilities in advance and seeing that the restrooms were washlet-equipped. Unfortunately, the two toilets on the 4th floor were out of order and the remote control's battery was dead, so I couldn't use the washlet. The washlet in the toilet in the underground bathhouse was also out of order. I don't know about the toilets on other floors, but please fix them as soon as possible. I'm very disappointed in the toilet this time.

The facilities are lonely compared to a typical capsule hotel. On the other hand, there is no sauna, and you don't feel the chaotic atmosphere typical of capsule hotels.Recommended for people who want a quiet stay.
