Great staff but the room is just alright, the price is too high to the quality of the room. I thought it’s budget friendly but maybe because we stayed in high season of Tokyo

I stayed 10 nights here, honestly the room is pretty bare bones but we were just using it as a place to sleep and keep our stuff. Room was clean and had all our necessities private bath (make sure you book a room with one if needed), microwave and stove top and storage space. A short walk away from Nakai Station is a huge plus the area is quite and the SS line is much less busy than some others. 2 station ride gets you to Takadanobaba Station were you can pretty much get anywhere from. Staff were super helpful and kind and ready to get anything to help your stay. If your looking for a place to rest your head in Tokyo I can recommend here.

The location may present a slight challenge for individuals unfamiliar with Tokyo. However, the check-in process was efficient, and the staff graciously extended their hours to accommodate my arrival. The property is conveniently situated adjacent to Nokai Station. The room was nicely maintainer, and the shower offered excellent water pressure. As a solo female traveler, I felt secure throughout my stay. I would recommend this establishment.

It’s what you expect from capsule hotel, a bed showers, luggage storage the usual business. What does knock it down from being an 8/10 to a 7/10 is requesting a non smoking bed and then being directly placed adjacent to the smoking balcony which had the smoke smell leaking into the hallway.

The convenience right next to Nakai station and quiet area made this an excellent little escape from the rest of Tokyo. I would definitely recommend it. Just remember that it is a hostel and not a hotel. Even if you book a private room like we did, you will not receive the same ammenities and the place likely hasn't been updated in decades. So the faucet in the bathroom sink is going to slosh water on the floor. The aesthetic isn't going to be the most appealing. You basically receive a small 1 bedroom in Tokyo for an extremely affordable price though. The group hostel rooms were even cheaper. It was the perfect spot for us.
