Honestly I didn’t not expect the cabins to be so small. I also didn’t like that the mattress was too thin because it hurt my back. Also, the WiFi would not work sometimes. The only thing I liked was the public bath.

Hotel Cargo Shinsaibashi is a surprisingly comfortable, clean and satisfying capsule-hotel-style stay in Osaka. The Staff went out of their way to assist me when that saw I had trouble climbing the stairs, which was very appreciated. (Arigato, Osakabe-san!) The baths on the top floor were wonderful and hot! Just the cure for sore legs after a day of walking and sightseeing. The environment was quiet and pleasant. Google Maps made it easy to find my way to the hotel from the nearby station. I would have liked a slightly thicker futon, because I am a larger, heavier man. But extra blankets helped pad the bed for my stay. Close proximity to two combini and several coffee shops was a great asset. I would definitely recommend Hotel Cargo for travelers looking for good-quality inexpensive accommodations with friendly staff. Ookini, Hotel Cargo, Shinsaibashi! (^__^)

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cargo! I was going to be in Osaka on my own for one night and as Japan is the only country that I know of that has capsule hotels, I was super keen to try this out. Cargo did not disappoint - immaculately clean and organised and the staff so helpful with check in. Highly recommended

The staff were great! The place had way more space than a hostel and even an onsen on the top floor which I didn't expect before I arrived. The staff kept bringing new towels every day so I ended up with a pile of them when I left, but too many is better than too few I guess!

Cabin and shower/ toilets were clean, good for travelers who just needs a place to sleep and out for the whole day. About 10 min walk to Shinsaibashi station, which is has everything you need. Another 10 mins gets you to Dotonburi.

Fantastic capsule hotel, good value

A fantastic capsule hotel especially for the price. The room is tall enough for me, a 6'3" person to kneel. I could fit in my carry-on luggage into the room and nothing happened to my larger suitcase which was looked after by the front desk. The public bath is a godsend for when you've spent the day walking around Osaka or doing day-trips to other areas. The location is pretty good, being about an equal distance from Hommachi and Shinsaibashi stations. The Namba market is also a stop away and is only about a 1km walk away if you want to save some money. The staff are also very kind and polite. My two main gripes with the hotel is that the futon is a different sleeping experience for me and I wasn't able to sleep on my side for long, and that the safe provided couldn't fit my laptop. But it is otherwise a fantastic place and I wish more capsule hotels would learn from it.

The location of this capsule hotel is ideal, especially since it is close to several subway lines and is walking distance from the Shinsaibashi shopping arcade. The neighborhood is very quite and safe. The hotel staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and have front desk personnel who can speak English and even Chinese.

Great place, located right in the heart of Osaka. Dotonbori is a 10-15 min walk away and there's plenty of restaurants, shops, convenience stores and subway stations nearby. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking forward to live the experience of staying in a capsule hotel.

Property is about a nine minute walk from the metro, with a shopping district nearby. There is cafe style seating on the base floor with a microwave. The capsule itself is double sized, with a small built in desk and closet in addition to the bed mattress and TV. Lots of room for luggage inside the capsule itself. There is also a safe inside, above the nightstand. My floor had two toilets, two sinks, and two shower stalls shared among about 12 beds. There is also a Japanese style bath in the top floor with a tub and larger hot pool. Overall the staff were super friendly, the place felt bright, new, and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
