HĂŽtel capsule prĂšs de Temple Kiyomizu-dera Ă KyĆto
Capsule Hotel CONTINUE Njojo-Kita offers its guests laundry facilities, a microwave in a common area, and a refrigerator in a common area. WiFi is free in public spaces.
I had a very bad experience at this hotel, due to a mistake that anyone can pay for. It turns out that a guest and I had the same shoes and on the day of my checkout, due to confusion, I took his shoes. The hotel management wrote me a threatening and unsympathetic email where they called me a thief and so on. In the end, I went to hand in the shoes and let them see that I had the same shoes and they never apologized for labeling me as a thief. I spoke to the owner of the shoes, a very friendly Frenchman, and everything ended with a handshake.
This capsule hotel worked fairly well for us. Nice location in regards to the imperial palace and nijo-jo castle. They are quite strict on some of the rules about where you can talk, sit, etc. Only cons would be that the wifi does not work on the top floor lounge/working space and that the bathrooms stall doors are quite loud when closing so they did wake us up in the night. Would stay again.
Really love the free toiletries and the group area on the 5th floor. The rooms had beds in inconvenient locations on the third floor and it did get very stuffy and hot at night.
This place is so clean, sterile and well run. It is from the future it is so clean. However, a big however, the drapes in the rooms/pods are metal and so are the locks. The metal drapes are magnetized so they slam and are just loud. My room was right by the exit and no lie, I was woken up more in 2 nights here than I have been the previous 5 years of my life. This is all human error and inconsiderate hostelers but you run that risk. One of the nicest places can be but can be severely loud to a point where the dead are awoken
It is quite a distance from the rail lines and limited bus service on the road it is one. There are also very few restaurants and shops within the area. you will need to walk 15-20 minutes to have any real selection.
This capsule was a fun idea but there wasnât thick doors/walls that prevented you from hearing everyone talk and move and snore. I expected more prevention of this. Also the bed to desk space was about a foot, so trying to navigate the two person room was difficult to do. Staff was friendly and amenities provided were good! Itâs definitely fun but maybe not for multiple nights. We stayed three
I knew that I was getting something cheap, but this was just horrible. Paper thin madras on concrete floor. Shared bathrooms constantly out of order. And young people in the front desk who couldnât care less.
