4泊5日で利用しました。 シングルルームの105号室を利用させていただきましたが、とてもお安く泊まれたので満足です。 ただ、換気をしようと窓を開けようと試みましたが開かず…エアコンの送風機能を使って空気を循環させました。 光が一切入らない部屋なので、目が弱く日光で目覚めたく無い方にはオススメです。 喫煙所が部屋を出て目と鼻の先にあるので、非喫煙者の方は105、106号室を避ける事をお勧めします。

Great place! I loved that I could come and go freely. Super convenient location. Nakai station is a 1 minute walk, and 7-Eleven or FamilyMart are just 2 minutes away. Easy access to everything. Would definitely stay again.

Small compact room. Had all the basics. Didn't use the kitchen, but the shared bathrooms were clean and top notch. Location was awesome, steps to the train with both a coffee shop and pastry shop just around the corner. Would definitely recommend, especially if on a budget.

Great staff but the room is just alright, the price is too high to the quality of the room. I thought it’s budget friendly but maybe because we stayed in high season of Tokyo

I stayed 10 nights here, honestly the room is pretty bare bones but we were just using it as a place to sleep and keep our stuff. Room was clean and had all our necessities private bath (make sure you book a room with one if needed), microwave and stove top and storage space. A short walk away from Nakai Station is a huge plus the area is quite and the SS line is much less busy than some others. 2 station ride gets you to Takadanobaba Station were you can pretty much get anywhere from. Staff were super helpful and kind and ready to get anything to help your stay. If your looking for a place to rest your head in Tokyo I can recommend here.

The location may present a slight challenge for individuals unfamiliar with Tokyo. However, the check-in process was efficient, and the staff graciously extended their hours to accommodate my arrival. The property is conveniently situated adjacent to Nokai Station. The room was nicely maintainer, and the shower offered excellent water pressure. As a solo female traveler, I felt secure throughout my stay. I would recommend this establishment.

It’s what you expect from capsule hotel, a bed showers, luggage storage the usual business. What does knock it down from being an 8/10 to a 7/10 is requesting a non smoking bed and then being directly placed adjacent to the smoking balcony which had the smoke smell leaking into the hallway.
