Capsule Hotel Asahi Plaza Shinsaibashi

Location is in the heart of America-mura, near to most shopping areas and dining options. Facilities are sufficient and clean. I enjoyed using the female sauna and hot bath.

There could have a bigger lounge for the female guests, and the smoking area outside of the female area is quite bothersome.

Comfortable and clean bed, good facilities.

The public bath. I was in shock I was bathing with other naked people. I was just not used to it.

The facilities and the location were very nice.

I didn’t like the staff there and especially how it smells like cigarettes smoke even though ladies room were prohibited from smoking.

the location was perfect, the sauna and hot bath offer, too. you can check in at any time of the night, which was very convenient for me at least.

the house rules are very inconvenient to the guests. whenever you enter or leave the house even if just for a minute, you need to go to the counter and switch your shoelocker key with your luggage locker key and proof that you are a guest. when you want to make some instant noodles, you will be walking stairs a lot, since teakettle, sink and tables to sit are all in different floors. youre not allowed to bring your luggage to your capsule, so you have to put it into a locker (only if it fits in there which for tourists from abroad, it usually doesnt). but the locker space is occupied by the cleaning staff who use it as a storage area for towels, so there isnt much space to move. there is only one plug available, tourists usually need to charge lots of devices to be ready for the next morning. any additional one is yet in another floor and costs money. i was always glad when i could leave the building again for the day. not because its bad but because there are many uncomfortable things stacking up.
