九小时水道桥睡眠实验室

Check-in was a challenge since the reception staff speak very limited English. This meant there was the shuffling and reading of many laminated instruction notices. It became difficult to ask for advice about things in the locality or transport. There was a single elevator for at least 8 floors, meaning long waits. The lounge was simply fixed wooden tables and benches. There were no drinking water or cooking facilities, including no microwave or hot water. The only addition the lounge had to tables and benches was power outlets. I asked for boiling water to add to a dry noodle dish and I was advised to go to Family Mart, they answered so quickly it seemed like a pre-agreed arrangement. Although Family Mart helped me were not best pleased with the redirection to them. This is despite a co-located coffee shop where the hotel serves breakfast. It turns out the coffee shop would prefer hotel guests not to buy from them. The capsules had very thin mattresses which were not very comfortable and the pillow was made with small, hard beans, making this also somewhat uncomfortable. The light within the bedroom area stays on all night and this certainly manages to penetrate the capsule. There was no light switch to turn this off and staff were unable to do so either. The lockers and shower facilities are on a different level. The lockers are very narrow and I doubt can fit many suitcases. I struggled to fit my backpack. There was no where to lie my bag down to open and use it day to day

I had great sleep and the location was very clean

The Capsule Idea is good, but the overall engineering is terrible. I Hated My Stay here's why: 1st- There's No Airflow, so its Hot. Looks like there is a vent and Plenty of area and availability to install a fan system but no. So it's Hot. 2nd- The pods are NOT Sound Proof about as sound proof as a Marble Shower. If the person 9 pods away so much as Yawns you here it! 3rd- They allow check in at Any time of time so there is always someone walking around making noise. Was people checking in at 12:30am! 4th- You have to live out of a tiny locker. There is No area to open you luggage, other than the small space between the lockers were there are 16 on each side, and more than 2 people at a time is crappled at best. 5th- Staff was rude. They close down the pods and lockers to clean for about 4 hours so make sure you have EVERYTHING You need for the day. Lady was rude when i went to locker because I needed my International Drivers License. 6th- They video and Audio record you while you are sleeping, kinda werid, but you CAN NOT OPT OUT. 7th- For around the same price you can find a hotel with a Real Bed, Self Controlled Heating and Air and a Great Bathtub or Public Bath area. 8th- The Mattresses are Thin, Like....Real Thin. My dogs beds are thicker than these and they have sleep sensors that you can feel. 9th- They kick you out of the pods, want to sleep in Tough, Don't feel well Tough. You paid for the Pod, but you can only use when they say.

Second time for stay and it is my go to hotel when I go visit Korakuen Hall. It is perfect distance from Korakuen Hall or Tokyo Dome, it's like 5min walk. Stores and restaurants are all around as well. There is no complaining for solo traveler like me. Just in and out, it's that simple!

very good

One of the better capsule hotels in Tokyo. Would recommend over others.

Yes

Great location with transport links. Would recommend and definitely stay again.

Excellent capsule hotel - staff were very friendly and helpful, and it's clean and convenient

I have stayed at many capsules hotels so the experience is not new to me. This hotel was more modern than others and new. The capsule is spacious and has both a power plug spot and a USB port. It does not have a TV or an AC vent, it was still comfortable as the room has A/C. Bed was comfy, there are also bathrooms on the same floor which is nice. Men have lockers and showers on 4th floor, more toilets as well. The showers need repair, all but 1 were pouring water like a faucet out of the rainfall shower head, luckily there is a hand held attachment so no real issue. The one that worked is the only one that had a clog so it would back up if you used it. They provide body soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers, hair dryers and tissue/paper towels and hand soap at the sinks. They do not offer moisturizer or q-tips etc like all other hotels. You do get a toothbrush and pajamas (they will change both daily). The rule to leave from 10-2 is real, no idea why it takes that long for all the floors, they are actively cleaning the entire time and you have to leave. They sell some drinks at the front desk and have a coffee shop in house but a Family Mart is across the street. The lounge on 6th floor has tables and outlets but no washroom or sinks, no microwave to heat up food either. The one thing they should change is adding hand soap to the bathrooms, washlets and sinks in all bathrooms but the is only soap on 4th floor so you gotta make that trip if you want clean hands.

Hard to give a proper review as it’s really a unique experience. Is it comfortable? No! Is it private? No! Were the bathrooms clean etc? Kind of. But knowing what I know now, would I still have gone? Absolutely! And it’s very cheap. All in all, I think you should stay in a capsule hotel once, for the weirdness of it and as long as you approach it as an experience rather than a hotel, it’s fine and I expect it’s at least as good as other capsule hotels and possibly better than many. However if you’re thinking it’s a good way to save money while you tour Tokyo for a few days, just be prepared, it’s much more like a hostel than a hotel - I probably slept for 3 or 4 hours all night so I can imagine that would take a toll pretty quickly! So I would say go for a night so you can say you went, but don’t plan on using it as your base, unless you have few other options or enjoy hostels. Even then though, it doesn’t have the community feel that many European hostels have so don’t expect too much on that front either.

Really loud at night. Other guests are extremely inconsiderate, loudly moving their belongings and walking as if to make as much sound as possible, all past midnight. It does not help that the capsules echo noise. It would be wise to have more soundproof (fuzzier, sound absorbing) coating in the capsules. My ped was near the AC vent which was extremely dusty/moldy. I would not be surprised if that is why my nose was so runny only when I was in the room. Otherwise the capsule was spatious and soft enough to sleep in.

Great place for solo travers to stay. Good amenities and clean. While yes, you can hear everything that goes on around you, including alarms, snoring, and the train, they have free earplugs. The bedding is about the same hardness as a futon on a tatami. The only complaint is the stiffness of the pillow. Otherwise, the lockers are big enough for one backpack and one carryon. Be aware that you will not be able to access your pod or locker between 10AM-2PM due to cleaning. Overall, a great place to stay!

It’s nice to stay for a night or two, convenience store just downstairs and train station is two minutes walk away.

Great stay, really like the cleanliness and experience

Budget friendly

everything is perfect compared to the price.

For a capsule accommodation in Tokyo, this branch of 9h is very busy but it still able to maintain orderliness and cleanliness. I had a great 1 night stay with special thanks to Issam(?) who spoke very good English and enjoyed a friendly conversation during his night shift. The cabins can be full at times but no issue with maintaining peace and quiet in lockers and sleeping area. The loung area looks very nice but keep in mind it is not tinted so at night people outside can see you like fishes in an aquarium. Not really an issue. There is a coffee shop at the ground floor. I reduce 1 star from perfection just because they don't have a drinking water fountain or much amenities inside. Also one of the men's toilets was unusable out of 3 available but didn't see much issue of having to wait. I look forward to coming back someday. I recommend here if you're trying to stick to a budget and traveling solo or with a few friends. Just bring eye mask and ear plugs.

使えるおトイレが5階にしかなかったので、多少不便でした。

Everything about my stay was pretty nice but I wish the front desk would offer services for Uber or taxi.
