"My 4 nights stay at this hotel was excellent! The sleeping area is large and I appreciate that you can store your luggage under your bed. The bed and pillows are comfortable. There is 1 power outlet and 1 usb outlet inside your capsule. There is also a mini table, mirror, tv (japanese channels only) and a mini locker for your valuables. There is also an alarm clock installed inside your capsule so you don’t have to worry if you have an early morning flight :) What I like the most would be the ameneties! Each day you get a fresh supply of 3 towels, 1 toothbrush, 1 body sponge and set of pajamas which is left in your capsule. More amenities inside the shower area and you can take as many as you like (cleansing oil, facial wash, toner, moisturizer, q-tips, earplugs, comb, hair tie, shampoo, conditioner, body wash). Hairdryer and flat iron is also available. There is a laundry area for 300 yen and the dryer for 100 yen. (Laundry is kind of expensive, considering its just a quick 30 mins cycle for 4.5kg clothes) You don’t have to check out everyday unlike most capsules hotel in Japan but you have to be out of the sleeping area when they clean it (10am -4pm) Its also very close to the Kuramae subway station Asakusa Line & Oedo Line. Very convenient to get to anywhere in tokyo! Just a tip, if you’re going to / coming from the airport via Asakusa Line, use the A0 exit because this has an elavator! The A0 exit is not the one beside MyCube, its across the street nearby MiniStop (3 min walk). More convinient if you have heavy luggage. Points for improvement: The sliding door for the luggage locker is quite noisy. It’s kind of annoying especially when you need to take out stuff from your locker at night. It has a weird crinkling metal noise. Hope they change the material to lessen the noise? Overall, highly recommended! Would definitely stay here again when I go back to Tokyo!"

"Is only a couple weeks old. Staff were accommodating and bathroom and living areas were kept clean. Everyday they would provide a amenities bag everyday which includes slippers, a bath towel, face towel, and a tooth brush. The only downside we’re the other people staying in the cabins next to me. They were super loud at all hours of the day walking in and out and found it really hard to sleep during the day and night. Would be awesome if there was a sign that told others to keep quiet and use living areas to make noise"
