Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae Capsule Hotel

Me and my husband stayed separately on the male and female floors. The female floor was very safe with a locked door, super clean and facilities provided. My husband did not enjoy his stay as much as there were only shared shower facilities and someone tried to get into his capsule at 3am.

One of the Best things was all the amenities. They included many toiletries and pyjamas. The bathrooms are large. Slightly surprised you have to vacate between 10-2 however that's probably a good thing for cleanliness and so many guests. I stayed on the top floor which is all women and met some lovely visitors. There's a smoking and common room on the 4th floor. Many vending machines, washing machines, kettle and microwave. The staff were amazing and so friendly. Even if communication was difficult everyone knows at least a bit of English and everyone was very helpful. Location is great, next to Golden Gai. There arent any USB ports but you can walk two minutes to Donke and get a plug. The breakfast option is worth it. Wasn't the most beautiful hotel but you get your money's worth

The best thing about this hotel is the location and the lovely shower/ bathroom area. The hotel is a few minutes from Shinkuku station and is a close walking distance to everything in Shinkuku. All toiletries, pj's, towels are included. The shower had strong pressure and was hot. The included breakfast was good value and was at a cafe nearby.

This Capsule hotel represents Tokyo well. Lots of rules, and people, but organised. Tight spaces, busy, traditional and retro. The baths are great, but not if you are shy as that's where you take a normal shower with everyone. It's a good experience once you get over the initial chaos.

It is as described in the pictures, but a bit shabbier, less 'shiney'. Overall I enjoyed my stay, and the experience of it. It was certainly cheaper than hotels and I booked late so had few hotel options. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, although I should mention that I have a bad back anyway. The dormitory was safe, secure, all fellow guests I met were nice. The staff were all very nice. Very good bathroom facilities. All facilities well looked after, clean, working, and accessible. I would use it again.
