Anshin oyado woman Tokyo Ginza shiodome

* beds - really comfortable with a lot of space * free curry for breakfast and miso soup with rice in the evenings. Also drinks were nice too * public bath - honestly after the first night I didn’t mind being naked among others. It was a great experience which later helped me at onsen * amenities - girl you can come empty handed. PJs, towels, shampoo, face oil, face wash, toothbrush, hair brush… they have whatever you need * location - 6 minutes from Shimbashi station with direct connection with Haneda Airport. A lot of great bars and restaurants in the close proximity. Family Mart next to the hostel. I know a lot of people recommend Shinjuku or Shibuya but I’d choose Shimbashi again - it’s well connected with other parts of the city but without typical for Shinjuku and Shibuya crowds and chaos * it’s women only hostel - you feel really safe. You have your own locker and you can enter the room only using your bracelet. It makes the whole stay stress free

Location: there is a direct connection from Narita Airport to Shimbashi Station via the Access Express train, so no need to transfer to another train. The Shimbashi Station is a 10-min walk to the accommodation, and is connected to JR and Tokyo Metro trains. Walking to Ginza and Tokyo Tower is doable (<30 mins). Restaurants: a lot of restaurants are present in the area which is still open at late night. Family Mart across the accommodation is also available, and so is a small grocery behind the konbini. Amenities/Toiletries/Freebies: a lot to mention regarding this, such as: 1. Breakfast starts at 7am - there are two types of curry to choose from, rice, and side dishes (pickles etc) + soup (miso/chicken broth). During dinner, a special rice comes in at 9pm. 2. Many choices of unli drinks available 24/7 - carbonated water, coffee, soda, tea, and water. Alcohol is available at a certain time, and mind you there are plenty of choices as well! 3. Free massage chairs are available in the lounge. There is also a great selections of manga. 4. In the lounge, there is an area with a plug so you can charge your electronics while in there. You can also bring outside food and eat it in there. 5. There is a microwave if needed, such as heating a food bought in a konbini. 6. Different options of shampoo, conditioner, facial wash, body wash etc available for use in the shower. Never ending supplies of toothbrush with paste, comb, razors, cotton buds, bath towel, and pyjamas! 7. Lotion, skincare and facial care are also present in the changing area, which was really handy for travellers who didnt bring much with them. 8. Blowdryer and curling iron/straightener are in the bathroom for use -- no need to ask the reception. 9. The capsule is clean and everything is working well. 10. Locker is spacious, and the hangers are enough for ne to hang my jacket, my clothes for the next day, and one set of clothes. It fits my bagpack, two handbags and others.

You really feel like you are in a spa, all the facilities were comfortable and nice. The food area had drinks, coffee and water available all day, as well as rice. The massage chair pleasantly surprised me.

Great for a short trip to Tokyo! The capsules are comfortable, the onsen is nice, clean and full of products that you can use for free. Drinks, rice and miso soup always available while curry rice is offered for breakfast. Within walking distance of Shimbashi Station, in a very nice area and lively until late.

I do not speak Japanese and did not fully understand the expectations of a capsule hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk was extremely helpful - instructing me what to do and then asking another staff member to show me around the various facilities and letting me know the expectations. If you want to know what to expect; you check-in, then you'll be assigned a locker near the from door where you'll swap your shoes for slippers. They can store any large bags at the front desk or medium-ish bags can be taken with you to the locker room on the second floor. On the second floor locker room, you can change into a provided tunic/pants, or other comfortable clothes you brought with you. The locker key is a wrist strap that you can keep on your person the whole time. On the top floor is a space with free rice/snacks, soft drinks, tea, and coffee -- even alcohol in the evenings. The floor below that is the communal shower/onsen and sauna. All bathing is in a shared space. There are small lockers for temporary use outside the shower/onsen. I am 6' 4" (1.93 m) and I chose this place in part because I read from another tall person that they fit on the beds. I can report that I did with basically no problem. I didn't even feel very cramped. In terms of noise, it's similar to a hostel - you can hear those around you if they're making noise, but I didn't notice much. The front of each capsule has a soft "door," but it's really just meant for basic privacy. The "mattresses" (bed pads really) are pretty thin, but I didn't feel uncomfortable. Overall, great experience. I stayed here on my first night because I always wanted to try it and it really helped force me into adapting to local expectations.
