For solo female travelers, staying at this hotel offers peace of mind. It's a two-story capsule pod, with many pods in one room. The elevator noise isn't disruptive, but the sound of doors opening and closing, and the sliding of the pod's privacy screen, might bother some. However, the earplugs provided by the hotel are comfortable and allow for a sound sleep until morning without any disturbance.
This branch differs from the Shinjuku branch in several ways:
1. It's located in a business district, close to the Ueno nightlife area. This means there's a much lower chance of encountering drunk tourists making noise late at night. Very few guests here check into their rooms after midnight. The area where the hotel is located is quite peaceful, yet surrounded by numerous restaurants. During the day, many office workers flock here for lunch.
2. There's no common room. There's only one set of tables and chairs in the changing room, where you can sit and eat, but it's not a separate zone or a lounge area like the Shinjuku branch which dedicates an entire floor for working and dining.
3. There's only one bathroom with a bathtub for soaking. However, considering the price of the stay and the benefit of a hot bath, it's quite a good deal.
4. It's close to tourist attractions without being chaotic. There are many train lines available, and you can even walk to Akihabara, or take the train as it's less than 1 kilometer away. This makes it very convenient to drag your luggage back to Tokyo Station to catch the airport bus.
There are many coffee shops in this area, both chain and local businesses. Nearby, there's also the very sacred Kanda Shrine. Therefore, if I ever travel alone again for a relaxing trip, I will definitely stay in this area again. It's not chaotic and feels safe too!
