Super clean throughout
The capsules are very clean and fresh. Every day the bedding is changed and guests will receive a fresh towel and a fresh set of casual Japanese clothing for inside the hotel. The shared facilities are kept spotlessly clean and immaculately tidy by the staff.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Extra charge for the locker
Lockers are available for guests to store their belongings overnight. However, this is an additional charge per day. Some guests were disappointed that somewhere to store their luggage was not included in the price as standard.
negative:
Capsules are a bit small for some
The capsules
are very compact and have been designed really only for sleeping and not with a
larger person in mind. If you are tall you may find that the capsules are a bit
of a squeeze and so not very comfortable for sleeping in.
negative:
Smoky smell
Although the hotel is a no smoking, guests may smoke in the hotel. Some guests may smoke in the room where the sleeping capsules are, which means the smell of the smoke can get inside the capsules, which some guests do not at all appreciate.
