    Very near Nagoya Station, good for short stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Capsule Room for Female
    • Stayed 1 night

    - The street where the hotel is located has some bars (with girls in the posters), so it was a bit a frightening at first. Though it is just a short street. - There are no free individual lockers for suitcases and bigger bags. There is only an open cabinet to place them, and guests are provided each with a lock. Though I think they provide a locker for big stuff but with a fee. - Towel also has a fee (200 yen)

    - Good location, just a few minutes' walk from Nagoya Station (JR, subway, bus, airport train). - Lots of restaurants within the area, and very near shopping locations (e.g. underground, JR Tower). - Toilet and shower are clean - free drinking water - I noticed there are also some free drinks (maybe coffee) in the reception area, but I was not able to try them - Capsule has a small vault/locker for valuables

    The room is a bit crowded. No place to keep the lugage inside. A bit worried about the emergency route.

    Location is perfect. Very close to rail station. There is LAWSON nearby.

    I think that it would be nice to add a fan inside the bed because when you close the curtain the air-conditioning can't get in. The small street had night clubs with explicit pictures but it was safe and quite.

    Very close to Nagoya station and the whole last floor was for women so it was very confortable. Everything was clean and cozy exactly like shown in the pictures.

    The TVs on the 1st and 2nd floor are way too loud even though no one wants to watch them. The dorms are really small, there is barely enough space to walk straight.

    The hostel is right by the station. There are drinks and ice machines in the lounge. The 1st floor lounge has a lot more furniture now. There is an additional seating area on the 2nd floor. There are also TVs in each individual capsule, though I'm not sure anyone would find them useful.

    Since we stay as group ,you should consider to put us in the same floor level instead you scattered us in different floor with a different guests.

    I love the place because It is adjacent train station

    The dorm has very limited space between rows of beds...and it's a little bit far from Nagoya station.

    The rooms and toilets are very clean but there is no enough space between rows. They have unlimited water, coffee and tea dispensers. Fridge and washing machine facilities are also available. Towels and slippers are charged extra..staff are also very helpful..

    The bedroom is good, but the air joint is pretty bad. When I slept, I had some discomfort when breathing.

    I liked the bathroom, the shower, and shampoo. The hall is good. It has coffee and misoshiro.

    Only downside is that the hallways were just too tight and everything was too small, even for Japanese standards.

    It had everything I expected from a capsule hostel.

    It was a bit noisy in the room as there are so many people in each room but really with ear plugs it was not an issue. Bathrooms were a bit crowded in the morning as there are only 2 toilets for 30 people.

    Location was amazing as it is 2 streets from the main station. It felt very secure with the passcode door. Hangout space downstairs was very good and the staff seemed nice and chill. Bathrooms facilities were adequate. Bed was not extremely comfortable as it's traditional style mattress but they state this beforehand so it was expected. The personal item locker felt extremely secure as you put your own passcode in.

    The showers on my floor weren't working at the time which was a little inconvenient but not enough to put me off coming back. Was a little too warm for me at night

    Great hostel, only around the corner from Nagoya station and a Lawson right on the corner, loved the little seating area for getting ready in the morning, plus hair dryers and curlers for anyone to use instead of having to bring your own, staff were super helpful when I had a problem operating the washing machine also

    It is located between places that seem to be some kind of sex-shops. I did not read about it in the reviews. Never felt uncomfortable, but did not arrive after 23.00. No bowls or sink in the common area to use for breakfast. Bed matrass is extremely thin. It is a topper, not a matras. Common area is very cold since they leave a big door open all the time.

    Short distance to trainstation. Washer and dryer on every floor Free tea, coffee, soup

    It's a bit more expensive than the other hostels I've been to in Japan, and there are no refunds if you decide to change the dates for your stay

    The hostel is perfectly located in the centre of Nagoya, close to the train station. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
