There’s a washer and dryer. 300 yen is all I needed. There’s assigned locker for the slippers/shoes and larger locker for bags. Separate shower stalls, bidet toilets, and a wash room (they have prepackaged toothbrush, toothpaste, and access to any other toiletries). Pretty much everything you need is right there.

My unit was spacious enough to have my 55L travel backpack in the unit with me. There’s a mattress/cushion as the bed (pretty much sleeping on the floor). Lockbox and adjustable lighting.

Location is only a 10 min walk to the Shibuya Crossing. In a quiet area with little to no foot traffic.

I really appreciated coming back to my unit after a long day of tourist activities.

Good place to stay in a busy area. Lots to explore and very close to transit. The only problem is that it is cramped. Not just your capsule but the entire floor.

Little walk from Shibuya station

Fairly typical of capsule hotels in Tokyo. Little bit of walk from Shibuya station but easily walkable. Typical of the capsule hotels you'll have to turn in your shoe/locker key to get a card with your capsule number. You'll have to repeat the process every time you leave and come back. There are no bath, just the shower so keep that in mind.

Check-in and check-out went smoothly, although I think one of the other staffers didn't think I understood any Japanese. The capsule bed was pretty comfortable. There was a 7-11 a short walk away. The capsule had a TV that I could plug my Switch into, although it came with headphones that didn't seem to work. (...which is fine; I have some bluetooth headphones that I use to connect to my Switch.) Most of the other facilities were pretty cramped. The floor I was on had three toilets, although the dryer in the one I used didn't seem to work. (It had a button for it. *shrug*) And I had three keys: One for the shoe locker, one for the locker-room locker for storing my luggage (which I'd classify as 'mid-size,' and it was a tight fit) and one of the little locker in my capsule. All in all, it was the guy in a nearby capsule talking on his phone that kept me from sleeping, not anything the hotel did.

Good for an overnight stay

Good location. Within comfortable walking distance of Shibuya Station.

Similar to some of the other newer capsule hotels in Japan I've stayed in. The capsule area and toilet/washroom/shower areas were very clean. A good range of toiletries provided in the washroom. I like that it has a luggage room for you to store large luggage which comes equipped with cable locks. Although it's unlikely that anyone will just make off with your luggage considering that 1) it's Japan and 2) there's 24-hour CCTV surveillance of the area, the added security of the cable lock does give some extra peace of mind.

One thing to note is that there is a flight of several stairsteps to get from the reception area to the capsule floor. The stairs are rather narrow and may be challenging to use if you've got large or heavy luggage.

For my single night stay, I was able to get a good sleep in the capsule and did not encounter any considerable issues.

I'd recommend this if you're looking for an affordable place to stay for a night.

No common area for free, is capsule or street walk

Is my first time in a capsule hotel, so maybe my evaluation is unfair.
There are 2 very negative items that I do not know if are common to all capsules:
1- common area is charged 100yens per 15’, just to use a table and a seat (some free coffees are available as well). So, or you stay in your tiny capsule, or go to walk Maybe all capsules are alike... I do not know.
2-there is no place to seat at any place on lockers or bathrooms areas, is very uncomfortable to change yourself workout risking to get your cloth wet (as happened with my socks), put and take out shoes. Lockers place is very tight also.

About the capsule, bath and restrooms, they are clean, very organized and well equipped

Wifi connection is so weak as it keep disconnected after connected for few second. So i can't enjoy this service. And we are not allow to sit at the table areas for a while , as this is for their customer who rented this place, so we as tenants also can't use it. They don't provide trousers or short pant to wear inside the hotel area,together with the bath robe that is provided by hotel, so got tenant wear underwear go to toilet and never be cover. And hotel staff can't communicate well in English, even in simple and easy English , and can't get any assistance from them. They will ask you to google online if you want to find up where is the famous Ramen restaurant in Shibuya, which finally I am able to find out myself.

Alright but a bit annoying

In general it was alright but a few things reduced the overall scores.
* You had to go to the reception every day to get a new towel.
* I know I'm not supposed to sleep until mid day but partying in Tokyo is probably not that uncommon but when the staff basically shouts back and forth while cleaning, you get a bit annoyed at being woken up.
* They didn't let me keep my carry on luggage at the hostel luggage space for an additional 3 hours after check-out while I waited for my train back to the airport so I had to go and rent a luggage space at another place.

Only downside as previously mentioned is that guests have to pay to use the common room, but if you don’t mind doing using your capsule for chilling out then you’ll be fine.

Good place to stay for a short trip if travelling light.

Cons: Little locker room means lots of baggage is a little bit tricky to manage and the mattresses are more like very thin futons so not the lost comfortable. Wi-fi in my capsule was a bit week too.

Pros: However, it's a real novelty to stay in capsule hotel and staff where very helpful when I stupidly managed to lose my key. The place is extremely clean and provides you with free everything from toothbrush, hairbrushes, ear buds and shower gel, shampoos etc. Great location near Shubuya station and crossing, and very affordable too.

It is a capsule hotel, so you shouldn't expect much. The room ('capsule') itself is clean and not unbearably cramped for a 5'10 guy with average weight. What I didn't like was the locker room, though, as there was so little space between lockers that 2 people could hardly access lockers on the same row. And although the place is strictly nonsmoking, I did find a piece of cigarette on the floor of a shower booth. The location is of course great - it is Shibuya after all - but you have to walk up a small hill to get to the hotel.

I’m very tall (195cm or 6 foot 4 inches) and had no problem fitting in the capsule with plenty of room to spread out and have my arm rest above my head. Staff speaks enough English communication was never an issue. Some of the staff are completely fluent and talk as good as someone from the United States.
