The staff were outstanding could not have been nicer or more helpful. They went out of their way to help me. The room was really cosy and comfortable. The amenities were outstanding. Happy hour with free beer was a very welcome treat. Common areas were very welcoming and cosy with lots of designated areas for people wanting to work, chat or just chill. It was the best of all the hotels I stayed in during my Japan trip.

The staff where very helpful, they helped me check out early in the morning when I was having problems with my suitcase.
Very clean and the free breakfast curry was delicious. The onsen and massage chairs were also incredibly relaxing. I would recommend again for a short stay

The hotel was nice, machine for check in, good quality infrastructure. Location was good and near a metro station and walking distance from Tokyo station. The capsules were not so small and showers were very good.
Only suggestion from me would be to include room fresheners

Just outside exit 2-3 of Nakasa-Kawabata station. The area is full of restaurants and if you walk a little bit along the river you will be able to eat at a yatai. When you enter the hotel, you actually need to go where it says “Lively”.
Before staying I didn’t understand why the cost was so high for a pod hotel. Well, now I know. Firstly, they have two areas: standard hotel and pods. I reckon because of their hotel side, they have to maintain extremely high standards. I must say, everything is...

My first pod/capsule experience! Super comfy, surprisingly spacious. You get a locker on the first floor and have to keep your luggage down there, but they provide a bag with pyjamas, slippers, towels and toiletries. So just put the things you need into that! You can come and go as you please. Would stay again!

Basically you can turn up with no luggage at all and this place will clothe you feed you soup and coffee and you’ll wake up fresh as a daisy for more travel. There is a secure place for your luggage if you bring any , good showers and loos (and a great on sen nearby) the place is spotless and it is surely the future for budget hotel. Shinkansen station 5 mins away. The castle is a 25 min walk. We had a 4 bed dorm to ourselves (3) for under £100.
