Would stay again

It’s was brilliant and close to everything you want to see. It’s got nice Restaurants around it and bath houses. Comfy pods however my only complaint is that there is no locker room to put your things in or get changed in. This led to getting changed in the pod but I can live with that. Very nice would stay in again. (I left a drawing of Luffy and a note in the guest book :] )

22時迄にチェックインできずに、前もってお電話わしましたら、スタッフの方のご対応が温かく、楽しみに伺いました。同室のお客様方が皆さん旅慣れておられるのか、マナーが良く、学ぶところがたくさんあり、本当に快適でした。スタッフの方々のお心使いが、泊まる者に浸透するのだと感じ入りました。

Location, comfort and luggage storage, all excelle

The best capsule hotel I've stayed at.Cozy and private, nice staff, comfortable temperature and good showers. Easy luggage storage before and after stay. Excellent location for being nearby a lot of food and fun, but off a small street so it is not loud and is very peaceful. I would stay here again and recommend highly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

インバウンドが多いが施設内の治安は良かったです。清潔で設備も十分だが、ベッドに柵がないので2段目は荷物などの落下に注意が必要だと思います。また、各階のエレベーター前など共有部分も空調を効かせてほしいです。

It’s very close to Gion station and the Main Street. The hostel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. If you don’t want to keep your bags in the rooms you can leave them downstairs in an area that is secured by cameras. I recommend staying here if you want to be close to Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji temple, and Kenin Ji Temple. Even the popular restaurant Kichi Kichi omurice and bars are a 10 min walk away.
