Location, comfort and luggage storage, all excelle

The best capsule hotel I've stayed at.Cozy and private, nice staff, comfortable temperature and good showers. Easy luggage storage before and after stay. Excellent location for being nearby a lot of food and fun, but off a small street so it is not loud and is very peaceful. I would stay here again and recommend highly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

It’s very close to Gion station and the Main Street. The hostel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. If you don’t want to keep your bags in the rooms you can leave them downstairs in an area that is secured by cameras. I recommend staying here if you want to be close to Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji temple, and Kenin Ji Temple. Even the popular restaurant Kichi Kichi omurice and bars are a 10 min walk away.

Would stay again

It’s was brilliant and close to everything you want to see. It’s got nice Restaurants around it and bath houses. Comfy pods however my only complaint is that there is no locker room to put your things in or get changed in. This led to getting changed in the pod but I can live with that. Very nice would stay in again. (I left a drawing of Luffy and a note in the guest book :] )
