Great hotel in a great location

Stayed her for 1 night whilst visiting Kyoto - really close to the centre and well located for shopping, sight seeing and local transport. The hotel was very clean throughout and well appointed. I stayed in their first class pod which was large, clean and had everything you would expect. The staff were friendly and very attentive and made you feel very welcome. The happy hour with free beer was also a really nice touch. 100% would stay in again.

First time in a Capsule Hotel

The facilities were very good, the bathroom and spa had all the necessities that I would need. The bed was comfortable. I did find the room a little too bright at night, and I didn't have any grasp on time when I was in it,which was a little weird, but all in all it was a good stay

Had everything we needed and then some! Even had various facial skincare products. Only thing is the lack of ac in the rooms. You hear the fan but don’t feel much.

comfy stay

It was my first cabin experience at 'first cabin'! just enough bed space, clean beds, locker to keep stuff, clean restrooms and spa, every basic amenity a woman could need every day in the shower/sink area. people maintain peace and quiet in the cabins. bus pass and (reserved) breakfast available at the reception. centrally located, super duper close to bus stops and shopping mall, convenience store is right below. everything was just great and comfortable. would highly recommend it to solo/first time cabiners who are skeptical about how these cabins/pods kinda accommodation work out!

Just wanted to try a pod hotel. Basically like a hostel and expensive for what you get. Staff was friendly but not to the level of other hotels I stayed at in Japan. Overall 6 out of 10. Clean but noisy and very basic accommodation but great location.

Nice, inexpensive pod hotel. Though the down-filled pillows ruined my sleep (allergies).

綺麗で静か、お得に泊まれます!

女性専用ビジネスキャビンに1泊しました。シングルベッドと幅20cm程の物入だけのキャビンに上から降りるシェードで廊下から仕切ります。今回非常に静かでぐっすりできました。テレビがついておりますがヘッドホンを受付で貸していただけますのでそれを利用します。館内全体は非常に清潔で綺麗。男女それぞれ大浴場があり、こちらも化粧水、シャンプー等のアメニティもそろい大満足です。館内コインランドリーもあります。ベッドのあるところは静かにするのが基本ですのでグループで宿泊の場合は2Fのソファなので歓談します。キャビンに戻るのは寝るときだけで観光、食事に外を出歩くような京都滞在では非常に有効な宿泊手段だと思います。また17-19時にビールのサービスがあるようです。
