ok
Pros:

Emplacement et rapport qualité prix très bien.
Capsule confortable et propre.
Service de bagagerie.

Cons:

Pas de casier pour les valises.
0 intimité tout est filmé jusqu’aux vestiaires.
Personnel on va dire un peu spécial. (pas tous la plupart sont assez agréables)
Contrôle un peu bizarre, ils gardent vos clés pour les chaussures quand vous êtes à l’hôtel pour contrôler quand vous êtes à l’hôtel ou non je n’ai pas compris c’est étrange.
Cabine évidement mal insonorisées mais c’est plutôt normal j’espère que vous ne tomberez pas comme moi sur quelqu’un qui ronfle comme un ours à 2 cabines de vous.

Una de las mejores experiencias para recorrer Kyoto por un excelente precio
Pros:

Muy buen desayuno, mucha variedad y calidad. Las cápsulas tienen camas muy cómodas. Muy buena experiencia de la cultura de baños japoneses.

Cons:

Hubiese sido mejor tener lockers un poco más grandes. El hotel lo más probable es que esté pensado para estadías cortas en las que no se lleve mucha ropa, a mi personalmente que me quedé 3 semanas se me hizo chico, tuve que estar constantemente sacando ropa de la maleta guardada cerca de la recepción del hotel.
