This is my first time staying in such a mixed room. The experience was better than I thought. It was not that bad. The hotel almost had no front desk. You had to rely on an email sent at a certain time the next day to get in. However, the interior was very clean and the facilities were ok.

I loved the sauna and the bathroom sprudled the whole night. The equipment ranges from towels, sleeping suits, to cosmetics of all kinds - all included in the price! The hotel is very basic, but rather good for it because the location is also pleasant to the next metro station and you can check in until 5 a.m. For the price unprecedented for me and the best capsule hotel experience for me in Tokyo. I'd like to come back!
