9h nine hours Akasaka

"Probably my worst hotel experience in my Japan trip. Still going to give it 3 stars because it's clean and has a good location, it's not some nightmare experience by any means. But there were lots of issues\n\n- tiny lockers far away on a different floor from the capsules. Bigger suitcases are stored on yet another floor. You have to run all over the hotel to get your stuff\n- only a single elevator and no stairs, meaning regular waits- because of the previous point you constantly need to use the elevator. I waited longer for elevators here than I did at a busy 14-floor hotel.\n- wayyyy too much light leakage. This was in June so they longest day of the year sure. But at like 6am it was just like bright inside the cabin even with the curtain down. There should really be curtains on the room itself.\n- they refused to store my bag on the check-out day even though my airplane only left at 23:00 in the evening. This kind of surprised me since even the worst hotels I've stayed in in the past have offered this service.\n- (Also you cannot access the rooms/lockers/shower after 11am which is ridiculous if you like to sleep in, but didn't affect me)\n\nOverall, I would not recommend at all."

"Very cool experience! The capsules are spacious and the monitoring system is worth experiencing. Keep in mind of the communal restrooms and showers. Was not a problem but just informing you. The beds themselves are quite hard. So, something to keep in mind. There was never much disruptive sound in the capsule areas which was nice. They also provide ear plugs for light sleepers.\nBy far the worst service I have had. Literally had a lady rolling eyes and having blatant disrespect. If you can get past the bad service it is a really cool place to stay!"

"I stayed 5 days during my trip in japan. I liked the location as its way less busy than central tokyo, and a variety of food in the neighborhood.\nYou cannot stay in your pod from 11am-3pm for cleaning, but if you're a tourist like I was you wouldn't be near the hotel around those times anyway.\nThe pods themselves don't have A/C, but they do blast the a/c throughout the building. The curtain is thick that it doesnt let the a/c through though😭\nI'm a heavy sleeper so I had no issue if there way any noise at night. The pods were always clean when you're able to come back. The mattresses are hard. The womens bathroom was also spotless, they did get crowded at night.\nStaff I had no issue with, they were very nice.\n\nI recommend staying to experience the pods, but after 3 days I personally was tired of it 🤣"
