Fabuloso dormir en un capsule
Pros:

Quería probar la experiencia de dormir en un capsule hotel durante mi estancia en Kyoto.
Las cápsulas son muy bonitas, muy cómodas y están equipadas con todo lo necesario. Wifi funciona perfectamente.
Las taquillas tienen un tamaño adecuado para las maletas. Duchas y baños limpios aunque sean compartidos. Precio barato para la estancia. El lugar esta muy muy bien ubicado, cerca del districto de Gion y Santuario Yasaka.

Cons:

Las taquillas están en un vestuario como en los gyms, así que tienes que acordarte de llevarte todo lo necesario a la cama o tendrás que hacer muchos "ida y vuelta".

I felt comfortable
Pros:

Its really clean and quite. Staff are really friendly.

Cons:

Bed was comfortable but a lady who slept up was so noisy. She mostly came very late and she was making so much noise.
Check-in is a bit late but I was walking around instead of waiting it.
The aircondition in the shower is very chilly; you might get really cold when you step out after shower

Manga cafe was more comfortable
Pros:

The facilities were nice and the location is great. Staff isnalso very professional and friendly.

Cons:

The bed: an air mattress is more comfortable than whatever they have. It's just a very thin topper, you're essentially sleeping on wood. And the pillow is literally made of small hard (cardboard/plastic) pieces with no sign of softness.

Also the bedsheets still contained hairs of whoever slept there earlier. And my body was constantly itching the whole night. Extremely itchy that I went somewhere else at 2 AM.

Barely slept, extremely uncomfortable, not practical at all since you can't even easily access your luggage. I bought the capsule with extra room thinking I can put my luggage there and lock it. Nope to both, there's no locks, only lockers with locks.

If you're a lightweight packer and used to camping, this would be fine. But if you want a reasonable sleep, please gonsokehwere else for your own good.

It was so bad I slept in a manga cafe that was more comfortable than this place the first 2 nights before I could move into a better location. This fully convinced me that capsule hotels are not worth it, manga cafe is tons better.

床單有血跡

Great value capsule hotel in a great location
Pros:

Comfy "private" capsule, location, great price

Cons:

Lack of common area to hang out in (the rooftop was closed because of the rain), no toilet in the lobby so no way to use the facilities before official check-in or after checkout
