It was quite a nice hostel with clean capsule pod and facilities. Location was excellent. They give free soft drinks and soft ice cream.
However I think they have annoyingly inefficient system.
You enter from 7th floor, then given access to the room on 6th or 5th floor which is accessible by stairs only. When you want to shower you have to report to the reception on 7th floor, pay 200 yen where the 30 mins countdown begins, then quickly rush to 6th floor again to shower, and then back to 7th floor again to stop the timer and return the towel.
If you forget the 200 yen they won’t let you shower first and pay later (which is ridiculous cos who wants to run away with 200 yen anyway), so staying here requires lots of going up and down the stairs (which is annoying if you’ve had a long day of walking). I personally don’t mind the 200 yen but they should improve the system for example by giving shower coupon or something to reduce the number of times needed to go up and down the stairs. Staffs could be more customer-centric and flexible by letting the guest shower first and pay later if they forget the 200 yen (after all, they could have charged it before the guest checks out!).
Seems like cleaning is not done daily if you stay for more than a day, and the male staffs would enter the female area many many times for checking / cleaning (which is usually not the case in many gender-segregated hostels).
Staff’s English is limited (normal in Japan). It was overall a decent stay for me, thanks to the location, but next time I will find a place with better system and value.
