Experience of the stay
Stay: 2025/01/23 (Thu)
I have an office in Shinjuku, and after a drinking party in Shin-Okubo, I had to work early the next day, but I couldn't book any business hotels around, so I decided to make a reservation the day before!
I checked in after 21:00.
At the counter, I was given a bath towel, a face towel, and slippers.
Next to me on the right was a shelf with amenities where I could borrow loungewear for free.
It seems to be unisex with S, M, and L sizes available, and I, as a 165 cm woman, chose size M! (Photos included)
Even in winter, I was given short sleeves and shorts, so I asked if there were long sleeves available, but they said they didn't have any.
(However, since the heating was effective, it turned out to be no problem 🙆♀️)
After that, I put my luggage in a locker and went to the shower room, and around 21:30, there were no crowds at all, and I could use it leisurely.
It seems that different shampoos are provided in each shower room, and it might be good to check what types of shampoos are available before starting to use them◎
They had familiar ones that you often see in drugstores, so it was nice for women that it wasn't a shampoo that leaves your hair feeling rough☺️.
By the way, the shower head was Mirable, and the hairdryer was SALONIA👏.
I wasn't sure if I could take photos in the shower room, so I didn't, but it seems it originally started as a place providing shower rooms and nap rooms for rent, similar to what you find at airports, and the interior was exactly the same.
After drying my hair, I left the shower room around 22:30, but it seemed like more people started to arrive at that time.
After finishing the shower, I moved to the capsule room, and on the 6th floor where I stayed, there were hardly any users of the beds at this point.
Inside the capsule, there was a comforter and a pillow, one outlet, and a power switch.
*Please note that USB-type devices cannot be plugged in!
It was very dry, so if you're sensitive, I think it would be good to bring a moisturizing mask or cream!
I didn't mind the hardness of the mattress, and since there was a roll curtain, I wasn't concerned about being seen, so I just went to sleep.
I woke up around 7:00 the next morning due to someone else's alarm.
(Rules state that alarms are not to be sounded, but there were tourists heading to the airport in line with their flight times, so personally, I think it's unavoidable 🥲)
During my stay, I shared the common area with several people, but there were no bad-mannered individuals◎
By the way, it seems I didn’t cross paths with any Japanese people, and it was popular with tourists from other countries.
I received a free drink at the café and checked out.
Since I had already paid, I just had to return the key!
My first capsule hotel experience was comfortable🌹
Experiences during the trip
I had Spanish cuisine at a nearby Casa Bella.
It was the best paella I've ever had in my life… so touching🥺
