Capsule Hotel B&S Eco-Cube Shinsaibashi

This capsule hotel is designed for a single purpose. To give you somewhere warm and safe to sleep it's not a fancy hotel but it does what it sets out to do. I will conduct the review into sections rather than my usual feelings then a pros and cons like I normally do. Check in and lobby The check in process was easy even with our poor understanding of Japanese and we were given locker keys and a place to secure our shoes which we did. The lobby has seats and chairs and is the only place where all genders can intermix. There is s vending machine that provides drinks and a microwave for meals. Lockers The lockers will be big enough for smaller bags but not for suitcases which would need to be stored in the lobby area please take that into consideration. I don't hold this against the hotel as the hotel is designed for people to just lie down and sleep if they missed the last train home not for tourists. Capsule The capsules are separated by gender for reason I can only assume so couples who need to cuddle or sleep together look elsewhere. The capsule itself is dated as the TV inside is CRT tech and has a 70s and 80s feel but overall was very clean and comfy for a cheap place to stay. There is the issue that snoring can be heard but eat plugs easily fix that. The capsule has its own cooling vent, power plug as well more than enough for me. Bathroom The shower rooms are awesome and I loved the showers quite a lot very hot and good pressure. Toilets were clean but again had that dated feel but for price it's fine. Facilities The hotel had the mentioned vending machine and when you check in you get s choice of two items ranging slippers to shaving gel. You always get a towel, toothbrush and pajamas when you stay. The hotel also has decent fast WiFi and was enough for me. Overall I would say even though the capsule design is a little dated it is s clean budget hotel even the fact you have to check out is not an issue as it's not designed for tourists it's more of s last resort sleep but I would stay here again.
