Tokio Majatalot

Plussat: Everything. An amazing capsule with excellent facilities

Miinukset: Pillows are two hard

Plussat: The staff are outstanding!!!! The location is brilliant less than five minutes to two major Tokyo metro lines. Very harf to find fault in anything at Glansit.

Miinukset: I really can't think of anything I would improve apart from maybe ventilation however in a Tokyo summer when it's 36 degrees Celsius outside the cool calm experience at Glansit is still an oasis.

Plussat: Location of the hotel was great in the middle of akiba. Lots of late night restaurants nearby, and the hotel itself if very clean. The semi private capsule room had a large locker inside, so no need to change in public. Would stay again

Miinukset: Shower is in basement so it's a walk to get there from the room compared to most capsule locations

Plussat: The bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Locker size. But generally okay

Miinukset: Noisy. Breakfast not great

Plussat: The foyer was very high-end, the staff were professional and efficient, and the location was great. The floor we stayed on had private toilets and big lockers available for each guest (My 21 inch travel suitcase and backpack fit in easily) and the capsule rooms my friend and I stayed in were actually above and below each other in a private suite-room, which had a bit more common floor space and a desk, as well as an additional private door to separate us from the hallway. Upstairs there was a very nice lounge space with books, magazines, couches and free coffee machines (as well as free samples of syrup, cream, sugar, etc.).

Miinukset: Be prepared- one of the things we didn't realize about this particular capsule hotel is that it was very much a "community style" accomodation. There is one elevator, used by both men and women (most capsule hotels we stayed in had separate elevators for different genders), although the sleeping floors and lounge spaces are definitely still separated by gender. That being said, the sinks on our floor were not available to use because we checked in so late (they don't want the sinks running when people are trying to sleep a few feet away- completely understandable), but that meant we had to go up to the common floor for women to use the sink areas. The sink areas and shower areas are open style, meaning that there are no private doors to the showers, and people may be walking in and through the sink and shower areas without any covering. There is also a community bath available, which is very nice, but again, the expectation is no clothes.This did not particularly bother me, as it felt like being at a locker room at the local gym and I'd used several onsens throughout the trip, but my friend was not comfortable in that type of space, as she prefers more privacy when showering and getting ready for the day. Also, they ask you to remove and store your shoes in lockers that are available in the lobby downstairs. Not a big deal, just something we would have liked to know ahead of time. Lastly, several guests we saw were carrying tote bags with slippers, towels and complimentary pajamas. Supposedly, these were supposed to be provided to us in our lockers, but the only thing we found in our lockers were towels. We were too tired to go down to the lobby and inquire- maybe you have to rent them? Most of the other capsule hotels we stayed in made sure those things were readily available in our rooms upon arrival.

Plussat: This place is clean and comfortable

Miinukset: The breakfast here is in a nearby building and it's below average

Plussat: Comfort, location, clean

Miinukset: Staff not so friendly looking

Plussat: I liked the beds and the shared facility areas

Miinukset: The staff were not very attentive

Plussat: The hotel is located at Sumida-Ku near Tokyo skytree. That’s very nice for traveling. But there is no hair dryer, and the air conditioner didn’t work well as expected

Plussat: Free luggage store, for us it was nice !

Miinukset: There were no free tea for breakfast, instead of ALL the other hotel-hostal-minshuku where we've been...Too bad ! No cold water on the shower we used, so it was too hot !

Plussat: Clean and organized, great common area, good wifi, very good location

Miinukset: Kitchen would be great, maybe breakfast rate to be included

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and they speak English well. They’re very accommodating.

Miinukset: The toilets doesn’t have scrub so whenever someone takes a dump, there are marks left there since there is material to clean it with.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Room, bathroom

Plussat: our stay was just very short for one night, but I would come back for sure! everything was very clean and the staff friendly. eventhough we woke up after check-out time, they gave us the opportunity to take a shower. if you‘re looking for a cheap place just to sleep and without any fancy stuff this is it!

Plussat: Friendly staff, comfortable mattrases. Good location

Miinukset: Japanese stile futon dorm is just a second level floor made in normal dorm as a extension just next to the roof so not a full size floor. But can't complain for the price (around $12)

Plussat: I liked the atmosphere of the downstairs common space, it felt like a nice place to hang out, grab some toast and coffee and maybe even get some work done. It was unbelievably close to the SkyTree, looking at the map doesn't even begin to show how close it was. I stayed there in order to attend the Sumida River Fireworks and unfortunately, you aren't able to see them from the hostels rooftop but it was so close to the river that it only took me a few minutes to walk close enough to see them. There's a JapanPost right down the street for ATM needs and a station (the Oshiage Skytree Station) just a short 5-10 minute walk to the hostel. The toast was amazing. The parade of friendly doggos who visited everyday was amazing. I'll definitely stay here again, I'll probably just choose a different bed type.

Miinukset: Originally I was assigned one of the futons in the mixed dorm and I liked it a lot. It is a bit noisy however, the mixed dormitory is on the side of the building that the main street is on so traffic noise was loud enough that I thought a window had been left open. Thankfully at night, the street isn't busy so it didn't bother my sleep. My second night staying, a man accidentally booked the female dormitory so when asked if I would be willing to switch to the female dormitory, I figured why not. The bed itself was comfy enough and the street noise was completely removed from the equation. My only complaint is that it was horribly awkward and difficult to get into the top bed. The step things, while aesthetically pleasing, don't make for easy access in or out of the bunks. I'm not the most agile person, so I get that others may not have as much trouble as I did, but I do think some other form of ladder could be used instead. Next time I stay (cause I definitely will!) I'll just make sure I get the futon on the floor or a bottom bunk instead.

Plussat: Its clean and comfortable The hostel staff is very kind also so beautiful Can I know her name :)

Plussat: The staff is nice and helpful

Miinukset: I had to pay extra money for a shower after check out

Plussat: directly connected from Omori train station. the staffs are very kind and room is fine.

Miinukset: I stayed at 8th floor, whistle noise comes up at the window whole of the night.

Plussat: Nice location

Plussat: Hotel is together with Jr Omori Station. Lobby of hotel is seconds aways from the station gate. From Omori station to both Tokyo and Yokohama station takes about 20 minutes. Many restaurants and konbinis around the hotel like Family Mart, NewDays, Sukiya, KFC, McD's, many Japanese style restaurants ( Noodles, Sushi, etc), and also Starbucks, Tully's and other Cafes. Staff were on point at all times.

Miinukset: They do not use card keys. Must turn in key to reception every time you step out of the hotel.

Plussat: It was conveniently located next to Omori Station, allowing me to easily access both Central Tokyo and Haneda Airport. Also the staff were exceptional and willing to go out of their way to help me even though I can’t speak Japanese. The hotel facilities are incredibly clean too.

Miinukset: There seemed to be some local government election going on during the weekend that I stayed, and many of the candidates were trying to gain supporters outside of the station with a loud speaker and microphone. So it was a little bit noisy, however it was only for a few hours during the day. In the evening it wasn’t very noisy at all.

Plussat: Large room and beside JR exit... Easy access

Miinukset: No problem with this hotel...

Plussat: The location was great! The staffs were very kind and polite and helpful. They even have a laundry room for guests who stay a little long! Also, the bed was very very comfortable.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Didn't expect such a small room.

Plussat: We loved walking out of the train station and up to our rooms! The breakfast was tops! It was close to most attractions and easy to get around with the train line below the hotel

Miinukset: They could have had an English sign in the rail station pointing out the direction of the hotel as it did take us a while to figure out where it was the first time.

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: Too small - smaller than the picture

Plussat: Very close to everything I wanted...from the train station (30 secs) to the shopping. The staff are helpful and polite. The cleaners are superbs.

Miinukset: I and not picky and mostly away... but I found all are excellent.

Plussat: I stayed at this guesthouse for about two weeks and it's been a great experience for me. The staff is very lovely and cool to hang out with, and the location gets you to everywhere in Tokyo relatively fast. Highly recommend!

Plussat: The bed was comfortable and the staff was nice and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: kind staff and good location the bed is big and soft a lot of shower rooms and toliet that you don't need to wait.

Miinukset: just only one something dirt on the comforter.

Plussat: The area this hostel is in is really convenient, the staff was nice, and the price was fantastic.

Miinukset: Really the only thing I didn't like was my sheets, though clean had some bloodstains on them, which was sort of gross, and all the shower rooms in the women's floor were full of some sort of a black mold.

Plussat: Beds were comfy. Clean rooms and bathroom. Bathrooms has amenities and there was plenty of toilets/showers for the amount of people per dorm. Washing machine and dryer with detergent included available.

Miinukset: We had the bunk bed near the toilets and hairdryers so it was loud at times. It was really hot in the dorms :(

Plussat: The price were affordable

Miinukset: There were bugs in the bed

Plussat: There were a lot of things I didn't dislike but not anything in particular that I "liked".

Miinukset: The staff kind of used the common room as their own space. It says no music or anything but they would play their own music and spread their stuff everywhere. I like a good atmosphere but it was just very unwelcoming. They take ages to respond to messages, never answer the phone and never make themselves present when I'm looking for someone to speak with if I have trouble. They would be on their phones as a guest and not come forward when you are clearly looking to speak with someone. The room was so tiny. I can look over stuff like that because I'm not all about luxury as long as it's clean but beyond one spot to stand and another for your bag and the bed, the private was basically a glorified cupboard. It's not terrible, I've stayed in worse places but I would be happy enough to proactively give this place a bad review.

Miinukset: We were stranded at Narita Airport following the typhoon and as a result had to sleep on the floor in the terminal. Emailed the property to let them know and they still charged us the full price of our stay even though we did not check in due to circumstances out of our control.

Plussat: Value for money,not as clean as it seems in the photos but the staff is really helpful.

Plussat: Was the cheapest option. Mostly clean. Bed is totally ok. Location is good. Just at the river!

Miinukset: Additional costs for a lot of stuff. So yeah, like cheap airlines...
