Facility in need of some updating- couches were worn, pods squeaky and loud, doors hard to open quietly in dorms, etc. Towels cost extra and were only available during reception hours which was inconvenient. Kitchen was nice and I felt safe in the facility and area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
If you have stayed at a pod hotel in Japan, this is not the same experience. While the pods themselves are comfortable and neat, the facilities are not. The mens bathroom was a mess. Every shower stall had something broken in it; the shower faucets were hard to manage; all the shower heads were calcified;and people left their old soaps. This latter point is probably why the company does not provide soap. Even so, it was a disorganized and unappealing mess. Towels are an additional charge. Pods are not cleaned daily. Note also: the front desk is not manned 24/7 and the dorms are not divided by sex.

If all you need need is somewhere to sleep and keep your luggage while you’re out all day day, it’s perfect. The shared kitchen and bathroom are clean and well maintained as are the pods. If I had one criticism it would be that the lockers In your room bed to be bigger. But if you’ve suitcases there is a luggage room that’s locked and only the staff have the key. Just remember to get you need from it during the day as the staff aren’t there between 23.00 to 09.00. Would recommend.
