Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were awesome. Really close to station, but was in a walkable area. The only negative is the capsule doors aren't very wide, but easy enough to deal with Another guest decided to do laundry at 1 am but thats not the properties fault.

お風呂場もトイレも綺麗でした。女ひとりでのドミトリーの利用は初めは不安でしたが他の宿泊の方とあまり出くわすことも無く安心して過ごせました。覚悟してましたが上のブースのいびきは聞こえます。まあ板で仕切られた2段ベットですからね。
