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.

It's listed as 20 minutes from Haneda airport by car. It's more like 1h. Don't take a taxi. Pictures of the hotel is not representative of the reality - much older structure, dirtier and smelly. Walls are so thin, door has gap. We can hear everything including the trains, trucks and anyone passing around. It's more on a capsule hotel facility, but very old and dirty. I don't recommand even for 1 night.

Nothing shinjuku about this property. Probably the worst hotel ive stayed at. It felt like a prefab structure. Anyone off the street could just walk up to your hotel room door. Theres no corridors and rooms like a normal hotel. The rooms are outside inside a glorifed garage. The room was horrible and dirty. It was not maintained well. It had hairs in the shower (which also had no shower curtain and was coming from a pipe from the sink tap). Leftover shower gel still in the bathroom. I wasnt even sure if the towels were clean. My heart sank when i first seen the room. Looks nothing like the pictures. On top of that, the walls were thin and i could hear a group of people laughing for hours. I was booked in for the final 2 days of my 3 week trip in japan. But i left after 1 day. I couldnt subject myself to the torture of this room and risk ending my amazing trip on such a sour note. The only positives were that the surrounding area was quite nice and quaint and i was allowed to check in earlier than 15:00. Avoid this place.
