It was very stuffy atmosphere and not a very comfortable vibe to sleep or stay in. A lot of people were coughing all night long I didn’t not feel healthy being there. It was very confined with to many people into one area.

It's not great if you have big suitcases as the don't fit in the rooms. Even small carry ons won't fit so you have to leave them outside the room and it gets busy with a lot of guests trying to open their bags during peak day and night periods. Other than that, great freebies at the ladies only floor! Was a great experience to have dedicatef place to dry your hair or do your make up. Free tea and juice was also great

Everything about this place was great! Helpful staff, super clean, always cleaning, great wash/bathroom facilities. And it's really close to lots of good stuff, Bicc Camera, a ton of restaurants and convenient stores, Nagoya Station, and a small anime/manga street of shops!

The place is conveniently located, everything is very decent in the property. But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to rest well because a group of Chinese ladies wouldn’t stop talking to each other, early in the morning. This is of course not the Hostel fault and it’s something that happens often when you share space with strangers. The emperor was visiting Nagoya that day and that left no other options. I’d stay again but would definitely get earplugs next time.

Its very easy to locate the hostel, which is only a few minutes from Nagoya Station. The staff are very nice and helpful. There are lots of travelling information available in the lobby, filed in different folder by location/POI. The room are clean, and the bedding are comfortable. Washroom and shower room are clean and tidy. Its surprised that a TV/computer was installed in the capsule for use. Washing machine, dryer, and free wifi are available and easy to use.

Great location for train station. Street is a bit seedy. Konbini and supermarket within walking distance. 15min walk from Noritake Gardens. Free drinks appreciated. Air con way too strong in 2F dorm - freezing! Mattress typical of Japan, thin and uncomfortable.

Hidden in a small quiet alley
I arrived in Nagoya at a busy weekend so this was the only cheap/convenient option left. I felt OK safe but the hostel didn't offer the same security level offered by other hostels (a separate lift for women and key cards for designated floors etc). I only had a small backpack with me but travellers with suitcases will definitely find it very inconvenient - there's no room to do anything in the sleeping area. The worst thing is we have to do our own bedding in that tiny cubicle! The mattress is very thin and the cubicle very stuffy. Needless to say, I did not have a good sleep. However, the shower and powder area is extremely nice. I didn't have to queue. I think the hostel is catered for locals who really just need a shower and a quick rest while waiting for the first trains.

Nice hotel within budget and very close to the JR
This is my first time that slept in the hostel dormitory. It’s not that bad if you seek for privacy. Just stay overnight is ok. The staff was nice to tell you all info. It’s so convenient that it’s very close to the JR Nagoya Station. It’s not hard to find the hotel. Overall is ok for me.

Best values for the price
Next to Nagoya station (the main one). For the price you got TV, a computer and a safe inside the capsule and kind of private because the changing area is individual. Need to put the bed sheets ourselves. The hangers inside are very helpful.
