Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Considering I picked a very non-tourist capsule hotel, the staff was extremely helpful and professional—even in English when my limited Japanese was insufficient. The central location in town was also a huge plus, putting me close to many local activities I had planned, several excellent restaurants, ATMs and konbinis, and plenty of shops.
Negative: The idea of a capsule hotel is alluring in novelty, but not in practice. The lack of privacy, temperature control, security, or dining and bathing options grossly outweighed the novelty. Food options in the restaurant were limited, at least for breakfast. Storage space was limited to a slim locker and vaguely-monitoring large luggage in the lobby hallway. The onsen, despite being advertised as practically 24hr, is shut down for cleaning not late at night or early in the morning but from 9-10am—I’d blame this on being geared more for salarymen than tourists, but I watched several Japanese men get kicked out of the outdoor area right as I finished showering, so clearly there is a demand at that time of day. Maybe cleaning could be moved to 3am at close? Or immediately before opening? Seems very inefficient.
Summary: Capsule hotels are a novelty, but not worthwhile.
