Good quality capsule hotel, mere moments' walk from the train station. Happy to hold luggage during the day of checkin, and you can also leave your luggage with the front desk overnight if it's too large for the lockers. They have special premium pillows for side-sleepers and back-sleepers, with a choice of high-loft and low-loft, at no extra cost! Reasonably comfortable lounge and good-sized bathroom area.

Either we didn't find it, or there was a distinct lack of luggage storage on our floor. But this was fine as we were able to leave our luggage at the front desk overnight. Thin mattresses - both me and my son ended up sleeping on top of our blankets to get some extra padding; we were both grateful we only stayed one night.

The pod was very spacious and had a very big locker i could fit my travel-backpack. There are all amenitys as usual in Japan. Staff was nice. There is a large manga library you can read if you stay in this hotel (and understand japanese). The hotel is very close to the station and just a short walk from the castle and kokoen garden.

Check in is a bit late, only from 16pm. Be aware that you can not leave your suitcase here after check out so you have to use a coin locker at the station (but yiu can leave your suitcase before check in). All in all just minor inconveniences.

Despite what the other commenters say, the place was really clean. This is one of the cleanest capsule hotels I've been into. I also like that there is a TV in my pod! The bathroom and the toilets were clean too. I actually slept really well during my stay. Also the place is located right in front of the station so its very easy to go around!

Nothing. Maybe just a small comment cos the staff didnt know what a resident card is. Im glad I have my passport with me. Its not a huge concern but it just surprised me a little bit hehe

Very very good location, close to train station and also to Himeji castle. Lot of shopping options, conbinis, night life. Entrance is possible from several sides, might be tricky especially in the night. Staff is speaking English is a big plus, and they are very helpful. Overall I Would stay again.

If you choose to sleep in the bottom bed, you will sleep literally on the floor :D We had a bit struggles with airconditioning, sometimes it was very hot, then very cold but there was no airco controller.

the best location, not even a minute to Himeji Station and multiple malls. great storage within the pod (see photo)

The only downsides was that the heater seemed to get very warm for myself who was on a top bunk/pod. the hot air came directly through the curtain, and the fan within my pod seemed to not have my strength but maybe that’s standard. the other thing was the headphones given to you were basically disintegrating (may have been the cover) so every time i touched them to move them it left a black residue everywhere

The property is designed for the business person and provides a great work environment. We appreciated this. However we weren't able to talk in rooms or in the common room so it may not be suitable for families and groups. Also the mattresses were very thin. Otherwise really great facilities and super clean. And it is a capsule hotel. We stayed in a mixed room with four beds to ourselves in the door was not lockable but there are small safes in each capsule.

Modern and clean capsules right next to Himeji station. The hotel is on the upper floors of the building with an unassuming entrance, but has a very large lounge area (with free tea, coffee, cocoa etc) on the floor below the rooms. The building looks old but the inside is clean and new. Lots of showers and toilets so you’re never waiting, and the rooms themselves are really nice. Small storage lockers for your valuables are inside the capsule, alongside a tv and some shelves, but if you have a larger bag or backpack then you need to chain it up in the luggage area (no lockers, but plenty of chains and padlocks for your use.)

Capsules were too warm, needed better ventilation. (There was a fan, which I used even though it was a little noisy, but it didn’t do much.) Would also be nice to have some signs indicating to be quiet in the capsule area because a few guests definitely didn’t know that…

Capsule was very nice, very good arrangements, large and long, with a large locker to store stuffs, very useful. The showers and toilets were very clean.

The bed was too hard for me, my first night was difficult. I used to sleep in futon and small matress in Japan without a problem. I suspect the bed was worn. I ordered another blanket in order to create extra thickness for my second night and it was better. My girlfriend was sleeping in the woman dormitory and slept very well. I think it was specifically for my mattress in the man dormitory : probably much more men are used to sleep in capsule than women, so the mattress is worning faster.

Easy to find and really close to the station (about a 5min walk at most). Hotel seemed very new or newly renovated. Very clean and spacious with all the amneities you need, including extra space for changing and storing big suitcases.it also has a powder room for getting ready. One of the best capsule hotels that i've stayed at with many capsules available. The space of the capsule is comfortable with a locker big enough to put your valuables and a backpack. There is also a big mirror behind the door of the locker.

It was warm in the capsule itself during the night, even with the fan, which didn't do much. The futon was also a little thin for my liking, but it wasn't too bad.

In the hear of the city

Some of the staff were not friendly or could speak English, the gentleman was nice but the girls not really, I could only stay for a night there and it was 20 beds and only 2 people staying including me, which was great, but 10am I was packing and the girl was rushing me for checkout, once they get the keys you cannot go to the toilet, you cannot access the kitchen or any facility, which I haven’t used at all due to spending less than 15 hours there, once I went to pick up my luggage that I found out.
