Anshin Oyado Nagoya Sakae Ekimae（Men's Only）

Good location, just walkable distance to major attractions.

Great place to be.

Very fascinating business model. I fully understand that every choice they made was a product of trying to deliver a good experience at the lowest price possible, in an extremely narrow building. Given these constraints, I think they did a good job: the common bath was very good and fully equipped with various types of baths (cold, sauna, outdoors). The lounge upstairs was generous with free morning curry, free drink machines and alcohol, and free rice and soup throughout the day. Two criticisms: one is that the lounge is a bit cramped and is not laid out in a way to facilitate interaction. Everyone is seated in a row, staring at their own screens. (Again, I understand the space constraints involved.) The second is that I don't understand why the lockers are all on their own floor, away from the capsule. The two elevators are already overworked and require long waits; making us take it between room and locker uses up more of our time. (And this isn't a space issue, but a layout issue.)

This is a hostel, so the confort experience is very different than a hotel. The only thing weird is the showers as these are open and shared. The rest of the facilities are really good. Definitely I will go back if have the chance. Ps: this hostel is just for men

The novelty wore off early (around 9AM), getting there after a full day of travel, just wanting to crash. I could check-in, but couldn't stay until 3PM. They stored my bag while I zombie'd around town, but the novelty was quickly restored. It has pretty much everything you *need*, with multiple amenities including a spa, sauna, sento (look up rules if unfamiliar), coin-operated laundry, charging cables, and lounge with free food/drink. Indoor smoking room, appears well ventilated, as I didn't note any smell around the property. Overall, interesting, and recommended, all in a good location with friendly staff.

Great for women too! (Review only for women) I went with my teen daughter just bcs we were curious about this idea. It was amazing! I hear that originally, the capsule hotels were made for drunk men who couldn’t catch the last train to go home and can’t afford the expensive taxis in japan. So I was worried about the place been full of drunk ppl but I search for a capsule hotel for women too. I love it! - The 2F is only for women and u can’t get in if you don’t have a special key so it’s pretty safe. - Everything was divided for male and female … even the eating area. - It’s also a No Smoking place. Perfect! - ALL instructions are in English (actually good translation) ;) - You can also borrow/ask for (free) extra chargers (although u have inside the capsule), iwatch charger, nail clippers, contact lense cleaner, hair iron, etc. (1F) - check in 2pm and check out 12mid day - Coin laundry (4F for women) - Locker and place to put your clothes or suitcase (5F) - Steam iron in the locker area (5F) LOCATION ***** Excelente location! Only 3 to 5min from Sakae Station. Many restaurants and things to do around the hotel. We could have stayed 3 nights there to see everything! AMENITIES ***** This place has sooo many things for the spa! You literally don’t need anything! Not even a pijama! BATH (4F for women)***** I think the male bath is different. The bath is 5 stars! It’s a great public bath for Japanese or foreigners. I particularly don’t like showering in front of people and like the privacy of my own shower. Usually Japanese public bath don’t offer this option but this hotel had 2 showers where you can clean yourself before going to the “onsen” (with only one type of shampoo, conditioner, body soap and face soap). The onsen or public bath is great! They actually have one with hot and the other one with cold water. Here you will find more than 5 brands of product to wash yourself (not like the private shower rooms). They also have a dry sauna and an AMAZING stone sauna! The sink area where you dry your hair, brush your teeth, etc is awesome! Really, no need to bring anything from home! CLEANING **** The hotel looks pretty clean. There is always a lady in the bath area making sure everything was nice and clean. BREAKFAST (11F) It says that the breakfast is included but it’s only rice with pickles, egg and soup. Do not expect the western breakfast. BUT I think this is even better! There is a big area (divided for male and female) where you can bring your own food (from a convenient store or the 1000 restaurants close by) and eat there. There is also a big area where men and women can eat. The rice and soup and all that is from 6am to 12 midnight. You can also drink whatever you want (soft drink and coffee)! THINGS I WOULD LIKE THEM TO ADD OR CHANGE - I would love if one elevator is only for women and the other only for men. - The capsule has ear plugs but the little bag where it comes in, makes so much noise. I wish they would u
