Experience of the stay
I stayed here because it was affordable and close to work!
The exterior is stylish, giving off a cafe or showroom vibe, and there were many people working on their computers on the first floor.
This hotel is related to sleep research and right now, it’s infused with lavender fragrance, which is so relaxing! There are scent bags attached to the walls of each capsule, creating a gentle lavender aroma throughout the floor.
They will send a sleep analysis to your email later. I’m looking forward to it!
---------------------------
The first floor has a lounge and reception area, and dining can be done at the counter tables there.
The upper floors are for accommodation, with capsules stacked two high. The window-side is bright with no curtains, and the capsules surrounded by walls are darker, but each capsule has a roll-up screen at the entrance, so once closed, they are all the same.
In the basement, there are shower booths, lockers, sinks, hair dryers, tissues, and more.
(The trash bins on the accommodation floor are for burnable waste, while in the basement and on the first floor, there are bins for burnable waste and cans/bottles, with the basement also having a place to put slippers and a spot for used towels.)
The hairdryer was somewhat weak, so many people with long hair brought their own hair-drying towels, hairdryers, or flat irons.
------------------
Inside the capsule, there are two spaces to place objects and one outlet.
------------------
The bedding is firm, the pillows are wide and firm, and there’s a thin comforter provided. Since you can't adjust the heating individually, those who feel cold might want to wear a jacket, sweater, or scarf until they fall asleep. In the morning, the capsule feels warm.
------------------
You can open and close the lockers with a QR code on the card key. The lockers are tall and narrow, containing one S-shaped hook and two hangers. There’s a tray to put shoes on the lower level, and since you’re supposed to move around in slippers on the capsule floor, I recommend going to the locker room right after checking in.
The upper part of the locker has a hole on the left, probably to hang a long coat, but be careful that any items placed on top don’t fall off.
The hallways are quite narrow, especially when people are at the lockers or nearby, so during busy times, it might be challenging to pass, as some might block the elevator hallway while organizing their rolling bags (though they do yield to let you through). So, I think it would be smoother to get ready when there are fewer people.
------------------------------------
In the basement's sink area, there is hand soap, but the toilet on the capsule floor does not have soap for handwashing, so you can only wash with water. If you’re concerned about hygiene, consider bringing disinfectant wipes, gel, or handwashing soap, or wash again in the basement.
(I wish they would put hand soap in the toilet on the capsule floor!)
---------------------------
It seems there are similar places elsewhere, so I’d like to use them again when I travel light alone!
Experiences during the trip
Walking from the Roppongi area, I found many slopes, shrines, and parks. There's also a library with a wide variety of books, perfect for reading or catching up on the latest magazines.
With many drugstores and dining options nearby, you can easily find amenities like travel-sized facial wash, bottled drinks, and snacks without bringing too much with you. It’s also a great spot for a gourmet journey at restaurants.
There’s a sauna and a diner about a 6-minute walk away, so it seems fine just to have a shower at the hotel (even if you miss the shower time).
During the hours when the drugstores are closed, you can get drinks next to the reception on the first floor, and the vending machines in the parking lot behind the hotel were relatively inexpensive, so you can replenish fluids from around here.
I found many restaurants I wanted to try, so I hope to go back if I pass by again!
