The location is very good, really close to the stationAfter exiting the station and looking at the navigation, you can go up the escalator on the left.But please note that the accommodation is on the 1st floor~ It’s great that the hotel can also rent bicyclesThe lobby is very spacious and has many sockets🔌(⚠️Only for eating and drinking, not in the room!)There is also a microwave, hot water bottle, and boiling water in the lobby (paper cups are required)I think the slippers have a small drawback. They seem to be too thin and difficult to walk on. They can’t walk fast when walking on the aisle and they can easily trip over.The bathroom and powder room are great✨The lockers in the room are very large👍🏻

(I am the type of person who would like to avoid bunk beds if possible.)It was a semi-private room with a bunk bed type capsule, but since it was a weekday after a three-day weekend, I was lucky enough to get a corner room all to myself even though it was last minute.However, the air conditioning in the private room was a little hot (mid-September), but it wouldn't bother me if I was sleeping. There is no air conditioning in the private rooms.The lights in the bed were bright, so it would have been nice if they could be dimmed.However, overall it was comfortable and I would like to stay there again.

(Visited in April 2024) You can take the overpass from the station, but the entrance is on the first floor. Although there is a room, the most amazing thing is that the ceiling is open (think of an office cubicle), so it must be super quiet, otherwise the whole world will hear you packing things.🔸️RoomThere are slippers and towels on the bed, and the pajamas are on the shelf in the corridor. They are a bit large. There is a wardrobe where you can put your luggage, but the suitcase can hardly fit in, and you have to take it in and out all the time, so I ended up putting it on the floor (However, the floor is very dirty and it is not recommended to sit down. In this regard, it seems that it would be more convenient to remove the wardrobe and put a table and chairs directly. Anyway, coats and clothes can also be hung on the wall.The bed is also amazing because it shares the upper and lower space with the room next door, so although the beds are bunk beds, one is on the left and the other is on the right. It magically creates a sense of space, but there is still no place to sit, so I can only sit on the bottom bunk bed.🔸️BathroomIt's fairly clean, there are plenty of sinks, but there seem to be only three or four hair-drying seats, which is a bit crowded.🔸️Public spaceIt's very big, with a bar and a tatami area, and many people use their mobile phones to work here. You can't eat in the room, so it's here.🔸️OthersYou can send your luggage before check-in.❌️Disadvantages:1. The two-person room is half a room with the ceiling open. Putting a plastic bag on it will make it too loud.2. Room for two people but only one key3. The boiling water is in the saloon, and it is a bit inconvenient to go in and out through a door.

Great place . Super clean and comfortable. We were allowed to store our bicycles in the entry hall / reception. It is not cheap but we can recommend the place , as it is located in the centre and bike friendly.

More comfortable than regular capsule hotelsHowever, for some reason, only one towel is provided per night.Additional fees apply.I felt that the reduction was a bit of a shame.

I stayed here for one night during a train trip in the Kyushu region.Not only is it easily accessible from the station, but each guest room has a lockable entrance and exit door, as well as a locker just in case, so you can use it with peace of mind.The check-in deadline is exactly 0:00, so please be careful if you are likely to arrive late. ).

I like it very much. It's much better than some hostels without private space. However, please note that there is no ceiling, so if it is noisy next door, you may be woken up. If you feel it is really noisy, please go to the door to get earplugs.I think the air-conditioning aspect is pretty good, but I still woke up from the cold in the morning.
