6.6Verified guest

“Excellent spot with transport links right outside. The capsules were comfortable and the hotel was clean. Staff were pleasant, and the on-site restaurant had fair prices.”

6.6Verified guest

“The capsule room was surprisingly roomy and had a lockable door. Location was convenient for the JR station and subway. Staff were supportive, and there were convenience stores nearby. My private room had a desk and power outlet, plus a public bath. Luggage storage was easy and checkout time was reasonable.”

6.6Verified guest

“I stayed six nights and was delighted. The capsule was actually a spacious room with a lockable door. Rates were low, around AUD28 a night. The location was great, close to Tennoji Park and Shinsekai. Even though the area is a bit rough, I felt safe. Staff were friendly, toilets were on every floor, and supermarkets and eateries were near. The discounted set breakfast was good value too.”
