Got the job done save money cool concept
Pros:

I like that it was an affordable option right in the center of Waikiki

Cons:

Wasn’t a fan of the shared showers or bathrooms but that’s exactly what I signed up for so that’s not first cabin’s fault, just a expensive hostel experience

立地最高‼️
Pros:

日系なので、安心感がある。フロントも日本人が多いようだった。カプセルホテルにしては、広いと思うし、ベッドマットや、枕など寝具が快適だった。

Cons:

施設というより、宿泊者のマナーの問題が多い。カプセル内での電話だったり、シャワー室や、洗面台を綺麗に使わない人が多くて、髪の毛やゴミを放置してあった。掃除をマメにしてもらえると良いかも。
チェックインの時の注意事項に、電話は、共用スペースでと記載して欲しい。

Convenient for the price and location
Pros:

Great location! Only one block from the beach and very close to the mall and several restaurants. Amenities were clean and I loved that they had hairdryers + straighteners and curling irons for use in the bathroom. Staff was friendly and helpful. Convenient for the price.

Cons:

I found myself wishing I had spent the extra money to book a regular hotel room. The pod was small and the bed was hard. Most people were quiet and courteous, but it only takes one noisy person to disrupt the quiet environment.
