Star Capsule Okinawa

Good location and amazing stuff explain everything in detail.

This is my 3rd capsule hotel experience and this was my least favourite experience. The hotel is too family oriented, for my tastes. I feel there needs to be more professionalism overall.

Good location in Nara as it is very near to the beach and train station. Staff are friendly and their is a convenience store next door. Try it out.

The location was very good 👍

Conveniently located next to convenience store and it's easy to get to the monorail station and Naha Bus Terminal. Staff was friendly and helpful. Smooth check-in with English speaking staff. Notices were in English as well, which is helpful for foreigners. Bathroom and toilet available on each level, but locker room where you keep your belongings is at level 1 (you'll have a key to enter the locker room and another key to access your locker), so you may need to go down the stairs to get to your luggage. Cosy common area. Towels and toothbrush provided. But sleepwear come at an extra charge of 500yen. Typical of capsule hotel, it's not soundproof, so do keep your volume down and also hope that you don't get noisy capsule/bunk neighbours. A power outlet is available in the capsule but you'll need an adaptor to use it. The staff has kindly lent me an adaptor to use my USB cable for charging. In general, it's great for a place to rest/sleep and get on with your traveling itinerary in the day.

Not too far from the airport or anywhere else using the train, and a cheap price. I stayed here for 1 night before flying to Ishigaki. The place was clean and in a quiet area, but there were still many bars near the train station. The inside of the capsule was all hard plastic with a power outlet and a TV. The mattress was about 3" thick, so it wasn't very comfortable. Good enough for one night. The bathroom is common. Maybe a set of 7 tubs and "showers"; very Japanese style.

The front desk was friendly. The capsules were clean and comfy. It was a great stay.

I only stayed here for one day but the experience was surprisingly comfortable and nice. The capsules are small but really comfortable, and the room where they are in - - as well as the hotel- is super clean. Great value for the price you pay in Okinawa

Note: This review is relevant to female guests only. This was my first experience in a capsule hotel and it exceeded my expectations. I booked this place because I wanted to experience living in a capsule hotel and not for economy. I stayed for more than 5 days. My initial doubts about this place regarding cleanliness and comfort were unwarranted. At the time, I shared the female room with no more than 5 other female guests so it was rather quiet. They were all very co-operative and considerate particularly during the late evenings. I was aware that the capsules were not perfectly insulated from noise and light. However, the former did not seem to have any effect on me as I slept so deeply I dreamed for several nights (In fact, I brought ear plugs but never used them) and the latter can be easily resolved by draping the blanket over the shade. The hotel provided many amenities including clothes hangers, bathroom towels, shampoo and soap etc. such that it rivaled an ordinary business hotel. Contrary to what I read from other reviews, there is a shower inside the dormitory which was kept very clean every day and I did not use the nearby spa as suggested. There is a communal living room on the floor and at the reception providing reading materials, nearby restaurant information, tourist information and water/tea/coffee free of charge. The staff were very helpful and were able to communicate effectively in english, mandarin and japanese. Bottom Line: Exceeded expectations.

The hotel people are so nice to stay nice. There were almost everything that I needed for 1 week stay. I like the international space and friendly visitors. I really appreciate free bath towels everyday.

This was a great exciting place to stay that was very cheap, clean and easy to find. It was my first time ever staying in this kind of place. As a child I made forts by covering chairs and tables with blankets, this place reminded me of my fun childhood days and I was excited to crawl in my box/capsule every night. Met people with great life stories from other countries, staff ladies very friendly. If you are strong or okay enough to leave your luggage in a locker room with everyone else's although you will be given a not so big locker and key and don't really mind taking a shower in an open clean shower area and sometimes in the middle of night say you might need to go to the toilet and are okay to walk to the downstairs to the lobby to their public toilet then this place can be great for you! Whoops forgot one other thing sometimes people in other capsules in your sleeping area snore but not every night because people come and go at this place so overall I slept pretty good, I probably snore some myself, haha!

Whenever I'm looking for a guesthouse or a place to crash in japan, i see "capsules" and from the pictures it looks small and suffocating but I thought I'd give it a shot. And honestly I enjoyed it, it wasn't too small for me (maybe depends on your size as well) but I felt like I was in a submarine. It's very clean but the bathrooms weren't so much. Pretty sure there was a sink problem in the girls 2nd floor to the left side, like the knob just fell off as I turned it to run the water. There are lockers where you can put your suitcase in that holds a 21 inch. If you want, you can carry your suitcase where the capsules are so it won't be a hassle for you to grab things and pack things up from it. One of the staffs didn't seem too friendly, she only seemed happy when you're leaving. The directions to the hotel is accurate and it's about a 10-15 min walk to kokusai street. Not too far from the station and terminal. There's a bunch of convenient stores near by and places to eat and there is a market that's within 10 min walk.

Star capsule was my first capsule hotel experience and it was awesome. The staff is amazing and speak several different languages. The capsule is comfortable and clean. The commons area is nice with 3 couches, large tv, a vending machine, a computer and free tea and coffee. Your suitcases are stored out in the open but you are given a locker for smaller bags and valuables. The hotel is within walking distance of the monorail station and right next to a family mart. The price is more than fair for what you get. No parking is available. Overall, star capsule is awesome and I will be back

My first ever capsuel hotel, it was fairly decent. Internet, toothbrush and clean bedding with good wifi. Staff were helpful. I wasn't too keen on the island itself but Jacks Steakhouse 2 min walk away is worth the wait!

Very unique Japanese experience staying in a capsule room for my first night in Japan. Booking and check-in were flawless. Atendees at desk were friendly and helpful. As a solo female traveler on her first trip to Japan, I felt safe and given good directions to onsen spa down the street to shower upon arrival after 27 hour travel day. Capsule itself was larger than I expected and very clean. Accommodations overall were very clean. I would highly recommend to anyone willing to try something new and different. And you can't beat the price and close location to monorail transportation and walking distance of gardens, temples and Main Street.

Very nice place, clean, staff very friendly! If you have a tattoo you cannot go into the spa though, but besides that I had a great stay

Staffs can speak fluent English, Mandonese and Japanese. Bed are clean and comfort. Prefect for short stay with limited budget. Strongly recommended for backpacker.

Star Capsule is more like a hostel than a hotel, but fine for a few days at the price. The staff are very friendly and speak a variety of different languages, and the spa ticket was a nice addition.

- clean - friendly staff who gives travel advice to the travellers - free bicycles borrowed - owner's family speak fluent Japanese, Mandarin, Taiwanese and English - around ten minutes walk to the monorail station

Good stay friendly staff not much else to it its a capsule hotel in japan.
