A cheap hostel with incredible value. The bed are so comfy. They have USB port but they don t have a great common area. So worth it for their price tho

Really affordable and comfortable. My friend and I got the double-capsule and it was so much fun. The hostel was really calm and quiet. The kitchen area wasn't great but I get that space is limited.

The bed and water facilities are still new, and the best part is that it's cheap. However, all of the staff are part-time foreign nationals who cannot speak Japanese at all, and some of them don't even know English. Perhaps because of that, I found it difficult to give sloppy explanations. Also, although the facility is called a ``kitchen,'' it only has a sink and a microwave, so you can't even boil water, let alone cook. It can't be helped because the price is low, but I think it could be a better inn if it was run by more decent staff.
