I stayed for 2 nights and couldn't sleep at all.First of all, the room was designed like a capsule hotel, and for some reason the wall had a sliding door that could be opened and closed, so the noise from the neighbors and the bed lamp leaked through the cracks, which was really annoying. .There is a curtain at my feet, but for some reason it's just a net-like curtain and there's no privacy. In some rooms, curtains are made of two layers: a net-like curtain and a cloth curtain, but you can't expect them to block out light. Rather than turning off the lights, the brightness was slightly reduced, so the room was bright.The person next to me was climbing the ladder at 2 a.m. and making clanking noises, which made me physically and mentally tired.I now feel like I should have complained at least one thing.The room was really bad, but there was a drink bar and miso soup available in the lobby, and there were a lot of books on the bookshelf, so I was able to spend a comfortable time in the lobby.I think it was great to see people from overseas studying Japanese, people enjoying reading, and everyone having fun doing what they love.The shower room and powder room were clean and equipped with moisturizing products, and the service was very good, including the ability to rent cosmetics.I think this is a great place for people who can sleep anywhere.

Great location, everything is nearbyThe room was very dirty. It seemed like they didn't clean it at all.They didn't give you anything to use as a separate blanket, bed, and pillow cover, so if someone with a problem stays in front of you, the smell remains. When I first got assigned and was checking the blankets and pillows, I noticed that the unique smell of spices was probably an Indian traveler staying there, so when I asked to change my seat or change the bedding, they responded bluntly and asked me why I didn't smell, and changed them. After I changed it, there was no smell, but my long hair and the musty feeling were unpleasant, so I slept with all my clothes on. If I was assigned a location near the air conditioner, the central control system kept running and I was so cold that I died. There was an employee working there who looked like a raccoon and a monkey wearing glasses. He was very, very unfriendly. When I asked if there was a place nearby that he could recommend, he seemed annoying and told me to look it up on Google. It was my first time seeing this kind of response, so I wondered what it was. I went to see it because I was in a hurry to make a reservation, but overall it was very, very bad.. I recommend it if you just look at the location and don't mind the poor hygiene, but I didn't think I was picky either, but there was no bedding cover and it smelled so I really didn't want to go into the accommodation.

Room wear, charger plugs, tooth brushing, etc. are available for a fee. Also, the room is locked so it's a little hard to find. There are many foreigners. It's easy to access and cheap. Good if you want a quick stay. The front desk is closed from 0:00 to 6:00. It's a little difficult to navigate the floors as there are stairs. The room is a capsule so it's small. They will keep your luggage, but if you ask at the front desk, they will leave it on the ground near the reception desk, so you may be a little worried. There is a convenience store right in front of the hotel, which is convenient.

It's a good distance from Namba,If you use the underground mall, you won't get wet even in the rain.It's a hostel, butSome plans include a TV and computer in the room.There is a water heater, so you don't have to worry about drinks.You can also read comics and books as much as you like.When I stay there in the summer, I hang out my laundry to dry.It smelled like the club room.I got used to it quickly though.We recommend separate rooms for men and women.There are many pachinko parlors around, soThe smell of cigarettes leaks out.
