Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals after 10 PM may need to make alternative arrangements.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals should look elsewhere.
- 1-star property with basic facilities — Expect capsule-style simplicity; there's no mention of a restaurant, gym, or in-room private bathrooms (except in upgraded capsules).
- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 07:00 to 10:00, which may feel early for those wanting a lie-in.

7.8Verified guest“The capsule made smart use of the space.”
7.8Verified guest“The hotel was quite clean and the rooms were really spacious. The toilet facilities were a highlight. The location was close to Asakusa Rox, Don Quijote, Sensoji Temple, Orange Street, Kappabashi Dori, Asakusa Shrine, and several train stations - a large shopping area, a famous temple, and other landmarks. We found a grill bar called Asakusa Grill Burg within a 5-minute walk. We had a great time.”
