The place was spotless! The capsules were super great, comfortable and clean. The bathroom hall is pure joy, you get great privacy. The capsule rooms are big and the owner made sure to spread the guests among the entire space, so it didn't feel crowded at all. I can't wait to go back.

This was my first time in a capsule hotel and I loved the coziness of having my one capsule! There were not too many guests that night, so the place kept pleasantly quiet. The hostel is run by a lovely family. My partner is a celiac and they tried to bake gluten-free bread just for him in the morning! The result looked... interesting but tasted good and we loved the effort!
