Capsulehotel Suzumoriya

Stayed for 2 nights. The capsule hotel was alright for its price, since we only spent about 25 dollars for a night on the Women Only floor. The capsules themselves were pretty clean and spacious, especially convenient if you have the lower bunk. The capsules were assigned to us randomly though. They are pretty soundproof even though they close with just a curtain, but I didn’t hear anyone’s alarm or anything like that, plus you must be quiet in the capsule area. So if everyone is abiding by that rule everything should be fine. There is a built-in alarm in the capsules and a pretty smart lighting system with a lighting intensity control knob. The shower cabins were just a bit dirty, only two of them on the floor, but we never had to wait to use them. There were lockers for each capsule on the floor, pretty convenient. The “kitchen space” on the first floor was very small, we never ate there. Just a general lack of common space in this hotel - you can only sleep here, or sit in the rooftop “bar” (which we also didn’t do cause it was still too cold in April. If you’re like us who spends their whole day walking the town and don’t mind eating in cafes or anywhere else than it’s for you. If you would like to dine or work in the hotel then find a place with a bigger and more versatile common space. In the shower you can use common shampoos, soaps and conditioners, as well as hair dryers, but stuff like toothbrushing kits, razors, ear plugs - you can only buy it at the reception desk. We didn’t use the laundry room either because it’s these usual japanese laundromats which wash and dry only for about 30 minutes but cost 200 yen each + you must still pay for detergent (at the reception desk as well). But all in all, it’s a great budget hotel for its price. Not too dirty and pretty convenient. About 10 minute walk from the metro station, but you shouldn’t cut through the neighborhood and take the long route instead to avoid countless red light establishments, as this area looks dangerous to walk at night, if you’re a woman.

Check in process was smooth, allowed early check in for a fee (if there is availability). Bed was clean. Female only levels were 6F and 7F. Was staying on 6F. Toilets on same floor 6F, but have to go to 7F for shower. Initially felt it was troublesome to wait for lift to go up to 7F to shower (only one lift for all floors), but got used to it. Hairdryers available on 6F. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided in the showers. Have 4 shower cubicles on 7F, but somehow throughout my stay, I didn’t have to wait whenever wanted to shower, there was always one cubicle available. Showers were generally kept clean as well by the guests. Overall pleasant experience staying, the few troublesome matters were having to take out shoes at entrance (change to indoor slippers), only one lift and the locker space is decent but can’t fit cabin luggage (have to remove my items in my cabin luggage to fit into locker, and luggage crowded the area)

Very clean and the staff are very nice

My stay was good! It’s a small capsule but has everything you need! And also has couple of bath in the shower room!

The laundry is a bit expensive than other places where I stayed, but it's still a cool experience staying at a capsule hotel and I'm glad I first did it here.

Easy and convenient, check in till 6am
