Capsule Inn Otsuka - Caters to Men

Left my toiletry kit in the bathroom and left for Mt Fuji, the staff was very helpful in retrieving my lost items and held it for me to collect once i came back to Tokyo

oh

When it comes to capsule hotels, there's a troublesome-ness level that you can assign to any hotel, and this one rates pretty high. First, the good: The staff was lovely, the bed was pretty comfy, there's a TV in each capsule, the lounge on the top floor had a big TV and plenty of places to sit and eat...and those are about the only good things that come to mind. The less-good: Lockers are on a different floor than the capsule room. Bathrooms are smelly, have cold floors and half the toilets have something wrong with them, ranging from the washlet not working to the washlet spraying cold water to the seat being cold, which is noticable when the floor's cold too. (At least there was plenty of them, I suppose.). While there's a TV in each capsule, it has some archaic remote control "panel;" you can't touch the actual TV; you just press a button on the panel to cycle though channels. The clientele was low on tourists but high on older fellows who coughed all night and apparently weren't there to turn off their alarms when they went off. And you have to check out every time you leave the hotel, which is just super-tedious to me. Oh, another couple upsides: There's an Anytime Fitness just a few minutes' walk down the street. Going there made a nice way to kill some time between checking out from this place and checking in to the next place. And there's a coin laundry on each floor (albeit a fairly expensive one), as well as a vending machine.

Would like to have luggage keeping after check out without charging.

Great cheap stay

Nice place to stay in Tokyo.

It was so near to metro just few minutes

This was a last minute trip, so I could not book ahead. I wanted to stay in Shinjuku in a capsule hostel with a sento. Although Capsule Inn Otsuka is not Shinjuku, it was close enough. Despite the language barrier, the staff was very helpful and got me clued-in and squared away from the start. (Thank you, Ariel!) The hostel is very clean - especially the sento. New sheets and pillow cases every day and as many towels as you need plus shampoo, condition, muse, shaving cream, razors, skin creams, after shave, etc. There is also a washer and dryer. Packing my luggage every day and putting it in a provided locker and/or secured storage area was a little annoying, but this policy allows the hostel to perform a thorough cleaning every day. Otherwise, the odor of dirty laundry within the capsules would make it unpleasant for all. Due to poor venting (inherent to older buildings), there is an odor in the restroom in the early morning. Currently, women do not have access to the sento. Also, on the same floor as the sento, there is a common room with television, smoke rooms, and complementary coffee, but no water dispenser. Drinking water is taken from the sinks near the restrooms. If hot tubs are not your cup of tea, there are 2 regular showers next to the sento. I enjoyed my stay at the Capsule Inn Otsuka and thank the hostel and staff for making it enjoyable.

Was right next to station

Lovely staff and wonderful facilities, only 30 seconds walk from Ōtsuka station, variety of food available in the area. Very quiet, calm area. Would 10/10 stay again

Security cameras in the change rooms and the tv in the capsule is often a obstacle when leaving the capsule

カプセル内が異常に暑い 寝れる訳ない

Good place

大浴場、サウナがあり、朝から入れるところが良かった。

また利用したいと思います。

駅前でいろいろなお店もあるし、館内の設備も特に問題はありませんでした。が、カプセルというか階の気温が低く、薄い布団１枚ではとても寒かったです(ロビーや休憩室等では感じなかったので泊まった階だけだったかもしれません)温度設定がたまたま誤ってしまっていたのかもしれませんが注意していただけると嬉しいです。リピしたいのでよろしくお願いします。

大塚駅前でアクセスがよい 掃除が行き届いていました 大浴場があり、ゆったり入浴出来ます 共用冷蔵庫があり買出し時便利です

駅前で迷わずいけます。

JR大塚駅目の前で便利。 店舗前には24時間営業の本屋があるのは貴重。またドンキホーテもあり、急遽Yシャツ等衣料品や日用品・食料を買えるのも便利。飲食店も適度にあるので安心。

スタッフが親切でした。
