Capsule Hotel GLANSIT AKIHABARA

Service, equipment and environment are very good

(8/10) High CP value and convenient location. Recommended for those who like anime.Location(10/10):It is located next to Akihabara Chuo-dori UDX. It takes 3 minutes and 6 minutes to walk from Akihabara Station and Suehirocho Station respectively.Suehirocho Station is on the Ginza Line and can go to Ueno/Asakusa or Shibuya (note that the platforms on both sides need to be entered from the exits on both sides of the road, and some of them do not have elevators)Akihabara Station is connected to the JR Yamanote Line and the Chuo-Sobu Slow Line. It takes about 8-10 minutes to go to Tokyo and Ueno.Akihabara Station also has the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line to Tsukiji Market, the Imperial Palace, Roppongi and other attractions.There are a large number of animation shops near Chuo Towa Electric Street, but they usually close early (10:00-21:00), so tourists should pay attention to this.As for cosmeceuticals, there is Daikoku Cosmetics (ダイコク) near Radio Hall near Electric Street, and Matsumoto Kiyoshi is opposite.For electronic products, there are Edion on Denki Street, Yodobashi on Showa Street, Bic Camera, Sofmap and Tsukumo on Chuo Street.The 24-hour ones include Donki on Chuo-dori Street and the supermarket Meat Nokamasu near the JR Railway Bridge. It only takes 3 minutes to walk from the hotel.When it comes to eating, Akihabara has ramen, curry, yakiniku, rice bowls, sushi and other delicacies. They are delicious, authentic and more affordable than other tourist areas.If you want to have a late-night snack in the evening, there is a 24-hour Sukiya downstairs of the hotel. Walking back to Electric Street, there are Meidai Fuji (donburi), Matsuya Tori Noble Isomaru Suisan and other izakayas.There is also a 24-hour convenience store (7-11/Family mart) in Konsuehirocho.For late-night entertainment, there are many Game Centers (before 00:00) on Central Street, 24-hour Karaoke/Internet cafes, and many maid cafes.Facilities(8/10):Large luggage (~30 inches) can only be stored in the storage rack next to the front desk in the lobby, or in the corridor of the room (unlocked)If it is an ordinary capsule, there will be no place to pack luggage, and you can only pack it in the lobby/in-room corridor/(shared) locker room, which may affect other people.Ordinary capsules have a locker with an electronic lock in the (shared) changing room, while premium capsule rooms have lockers in a separate room.Carry-on size luggage can be placed in the lower level of the lockers, while backpacks or clothes can be hung on hangers on the upper level. Backpacker-sized rucksacks can also be locked in!There is a 5V2A USB charging port and a socket in the capsule. For high-end capsule roomsThe lobby provides cleaning supplies (toothbrushes, razors, headphones, combs, earplugs, etc.). If you are staying at the hotel, you can get new towels at the front desk.There are disposable slippers provided in the shoe cabinet on the first floor. If you want to use in-house clothes, you have to pay 200 yen at the front desk. This is a bit...The large public bath for men is on B1, which is an artificial hot spring. There is also a dedicated shower room for women on the 10th floor.After bathing, there is a small shared lounge outside with free coffee, tea, magazines, smoking room, USB charging, etc.The lounge has a microwave and dining table, so you can enjoy it here if you bring outside food.The dressing room on each floor only has ordinary Lotion and hand wash foam.There are (shared) changing rooms and toilets in the room (~6 rooms)There are 2 coin-operated washing and drying machines in the dressing room of the B1 large public bath, and 10+ combination locks that can lock mobile phones/valuables.By adding 500 yen before 10:00, you can have breakfast at the Pronto Bar next to UDX or use it as a gold coupon (495 yen). It can also be used after breakfast timeThere is a 20% discount coupon for BAGUS AKIHABARA (until 5 am) at the front desk, and you can play pool and darts.Room quality and comfort (9/10):When it comes to accommodation, there are separate floors for men and women. Each room on the floor requires an IC key fob to enter, which is very safe.This time I stayed in a superior capsule room (single person), which has an independent space (private room). The place is very spacious and I can pack my luggage in my own room.This time the room was for the lower bunk, and the sealed upper bunk was for the next room.The double room will be a separate room but with bunk beds and a narrower space, and the lockers will be moved to the dressing room.Due to fire regulations, the door of the private room is not locked, and the upper part is connected to the corridor (same as an Internet cafe), so you must also pay attention to the sound volume so as not to disturb other residents.The premium capsule room has a locker and work table. There is a 5V2A USB charging port and 1 socket on the table.Since it is a capsule hotel, most of the guests are tourists/business travelers, and it is in a busy area, so even in the early morning there will be the sound of people entering and exiting/packing luggage.The sound of the ventilation fan is a bit loud. I wear noise-canceling headphones and I have a busy schedule every day. When I get back to the room, I sleep until the second morning, so it doesn't have much impact.Although the corridor is relatively air-conditioned, the individual rooms are not very ventilated when closed, so it will be a bit hot inside the capsule.However, you can borrow an electric fan from the front desk (free of charge). When sleeping, it is recommended to turn on the ventilation fan and open the soundproof curtain halfway to ventilate it a little cooler.Service(10/10):The staff is patient and polite, and can introduce the hotel facilities fluently in English. There are also guides in English.When you check-out, you can tell the counter that you want to store your luggage, and it can be stored until the evening. There are few lockers near Akihabara Station, so being able to store luggage in the hotel was a big help.There are many supplies such as hair straighteners, deodorant spray, etc. that can be borrowed at the front desk.Cleanliness (7/10):All facilities are newThe capsule is very tidyThere were a large number of guests, and there were a lot of used detergents and hair in the large bathhouse and locker room. It was obvious that cleaning was not frequent enough and was not done in a timely manner.There are cases where the air conditioner is dripping, and some floor mats are wet.Areas of dissatisfaction/improvement:The place is too small and many facilities feel very cramped and cramped. I have stayed in 5 capsule hotels and this one is the most cramped.The large bathhouse, front desk and elevator are very crowded during the morning rush hour, and the number of facilities is a bit insufficient for the number of people. It is recommended to use it at a staggered time.There are only 5 flushing stations and 3 wash basins in the large public bath, so it can be very busy during busy hours.There are no trash cans in the public bath or next to the wash basins. Many people litter them after brushing their teeth and shaving.The bathroom in the room only operates in the morning. To brush your teeth in the evening, you have to go to the B1 large bathing room changing room.The toilet in the room is extremely narrow. To open the door, you have to open it inward. You have to press your whole body against the toilet to open the door. It is really difficult to understand why it is designed like this.There are no slippers in the toilet in the room, and the provided disposable slippers are too thin.There are 10 floors but only one elevator. Even at 12 o'clock in the evening, you have to wait for several minutes.There are not enough places to pack luggage, you can only pack it in the lobby/in-room corridor/(shared) locker room, but this also means it will cause a nuisance to other guests.Like other capsule hotels, you have to exchange room and shoe cabinet keys with the staff when you go out, which is a bit troublesome. Also, the outing card is a bit small and easy to get rid of.The quilt is too thick, which is a bit uncomfortable in summer

Not for the counter. Counter is open 24 hours, very convenient, I like it. But when I check my clothes in coin laundry It be taken out. And I lost my socks. It's not a big deal, but that's not good at all.

Everything is small anyway. The locker rooms on each floor are full for two people, and everyone changes there, so you have to wait to put your luggage in the locker.The lounge is also small, so even if you wanted to make a call, there was no place to do so and the lobby was also small, so you ended up having to go outside. I wonder which star the two stars belong to.A bare minimum place to just sleep.If you are 90% foreign and don't like perfume, you might want to avoid it.

I don’t really understand why do people rate very high for capsule hotels. All of them are overrated hotels. I stayed 3 nights, they never cleaned my capsule. I couldn’t sleep well there. Even at 03:00 am, someone was doing something. Someone was constantly opening and closing the door. They were unpacking their suitcases and arranging their belongings where the capsules were. It's 3am dude? Why did you come to the hotel? It's already morning. The bathrooms were disgusting, smelled bad and there was hair everywhere. There is absolutely no private space in the bathroom. Everyone was naked. I don't care if it's culture or not. I don't have to see everyone's genitals. The best thing is the location of the hotel. Good location. Those who think that capsule hotels are cheap are wrong. Approximately 15-20 people sleep in the rooms where the capsules are located. It doesn't deserve its money.

“The only good thing is that you can drink all you want and the environment is clean”The sound of closing the door of the room was very loud. I didn't have to deal with the reaction at the counter. I had to change to a private room. The lockers in the guest room have large sliding doors. The door is very heavy. In fact, it can be solved by putting anti-collision strips on it. But the counter There was nothing to deal with. The tenant was rude and unfortunately he stayed next to the door. It was useless to wear earplugs because the vibration could not be blocked. Fortunately, someone wanted to check out of the private room on No. 30, so I could feel a little more peaceful. The curtain of the capsule is made of plastic. , the switch will make a clanking sound, I don’t know why I don’t use cloth curtains~”~The bed is not solid wood, so it is difficult to isolate the sound from the upper floor. I have stayed in two similar youth hostels in Korea, and they were much better than this one. , and whenever there is a problem, the counter will actively deal with it. After seeing so many good reviews, it seems that it is more accurate to experience it in person~"~

First solo trip to Japan ~Afraid of sleeping alone, I chose a capsule hotelThere is a check-in counter on the 1st floor if you have any questionsSomeone is available to help 24 hours a dayI remember the latest check-in time seems to be 1 amNext is the living floor with capsule rooms and simple private rooms.It's like a locker for luggage. It should be about the same size as a 20-inch suitcase. It can be locked. The toilet and washbasin are open in the morning.The 10th floor is a public space for bathing and eating.There is a simple beverage bar where you can drink water, coffee, etc.There is also lotion, lotion, shower gel, and shampoo in the bathing area.The bathing area is similar to a public bathhouse and is open.But in fact, we all meet foreigners, so it’s okay to be honest with them🤣Overall, it's really convenient to live in. Everything you need is there.There are many supplies and a small table and TV. The room is not very cramped.And I happened to meet some well-educated roommates.Everyone was very quiet and it really gave me a great experienceThe counter staff will actively help you deal with any problems you encounter.The problem of slow elevators that many people mind is indeed something they will encounter.But it seems that almost all capsule hotels are like this.After all, everyone uses one elevatorAnd actually, as long as you plan your time, you don’t have to go up and down the stairs all the time.After all, the facilities are very complete. Go up there to have a meal and take a shower.Come down and put your luggage and then fall asleepAnd I saw that the cleaning staff were very careful in cleaning and disinfecting. Bonus points.Safety issues: Go to each floor, elevator and doorYou need the sensor on the key ring to go there.The living floors and public floors for men and women are also different.When you go out, change your shoes and return the keychain.Then come back and take the keychain back upstairs. It's pretty safe.The location is between Akihabara Station and Suehirocho StationNo matter which line you take, it’s very convenientThere's a whole family nearby and a supermarket Don Quixote.Shopping is very convenient. There are many large shopping malls in Akihabara Station.But 7-11 and Lowson have a long way to go.When I went to Tokyo, I stayed there for a few days.I really find it very convenientYou don’t have to check out again if you check in consecutively (required for some capsules)If you stay for 3 days, we will help you tidy up the room.You can also tell the counter in advance that there is no need to tidy up.Stayed for 5 days and the average cost per day was only 800, which is ridiculous.I will definitely stay here again next time

They replaced the hair dryer and curling iron with new ones during my stay. Yes they have curling irons which is great. All toiletries are available. But there are no windows in the house. You can't see the sky. The free drinks are delicious.

Great location. Very near everything.

I got the superior room with a door, it does not lock. Someone opened my door and turned the light on at 1am looking inside. Kind of disturbing, I won't be back because of it.Can't access hdmi port on tv, so basically unusable for foreigners. Would be super nice if I could connect my phone to it so I can chill out a little bit.Nice capsule hotel, nice staff. I got the superior room, and I like the extra space with the table/chair. Except there was garbage left under the table from the previous guest. The room does not lock, Also it was too hot and the fan didn't blow any air. If you have even 1 person snoring everyone will hear it, it can be pretty annoying.
