Very comfortable cabin, no loud and very clean! Incredible bath, very modern and clean!

Tommaso, Italy

Best compromise if you don’t need a hotel room but feel a bit claustrophobic in a cabin. The roof of the cabin is high, the place is clean and calm.

William, France

I've always loved the First Cabin branches but the Akihabara branch is particularly spacious. The cabins itself are always up to par and comfortable. The location is convenient and the staff were very kind and informative as well. The lounge on the first floor is spacious and well equipped with a microwave, coffee maker and hot water boiler. There is also a spa area on the first floor with a public bath experience. I recommend trying this if you have time.

Very comfortable accommodation. Near Akihabara station. You can never find a capsule hotel you can standing inside. nice stuff, super quiet at night. You can't feel there are actually many people sleep in one space. Good experience.

“Not a hotel and not a capsule. Something between both”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Capsule Room for Female
- • Stayed 1 night
if you stay near toilet be expect with the smell also there is no window inside that make sleeping area a bit smelly but other than that is good.
Good for the person who need only place to sleep inside is good. The elevator entrance between women and men are separately for your security no need to worried. And in this place have public bath for guest which is good.

The bed was a little hard, you can always hear people making sounds but the front desk offers you complimentary ear plugs.
Convenient and fun. Although you are made to keep as quiet as possible, this is a great affordable option for 1 or 2 nights. Definitely more comfortable than the true capsule hotels. The WiFi is pretty decent too. Love the bathhouse located at the first floor, however, you might need to wait as only 6 people can enter at a time. Location is amazing as it is about 5-10 mins walk from Akihabara station nearest to Yodobashi Camera.

“Couldn’t sleep, way too hot, spoke to staff about it and it didn’t help.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Capsule Room for Male
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
The capsules were SO hot, to the point that I couldn’t sleep the first night which completely ruined my next day. It is possible to get the AC turned up if you go down to reception to do this, but I did this twice and it BARELY helped. It was just enough to sleep, but incredibly uncomfortable. Being able to sleep is a core element to a hotel, and it failed that.
It looked nice, reception was friendly.

“The shower area may be a bit foreign but the cabins are definitely better than capsule.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 2 nights
There were only 3 showers but the changing area was open. This meant that you would have to strip down to your birthday suit, put your clothes in a basket (all this within view to anyone who might walk to the shower area hoping to shower/use the laundry machine) and hustle into an open shower. There was a towel rack inside though so you can still cover yourself once you finish and change back into your clothes outside in the changing area.
I've always loved the First Cabin branches but the Akihabara branch is particularly spacious. The cabins itself are always up to par and comfortable. The location is convenient and the staff were very kind and informative as well. The lounge on the first floor is spacious and well equipped with a microwave, coffee maker and hot water boiler.

The ac did very little to cool. I did not need any sheets or covers and was a bit hot. I understand that it's nice to be warm when it's a cold time of year but they individual rooms need better air management. I was able to get a fan from the front desk which helped but maybe the ac system needs to be upgraded. Minor issue for most just something I noticed.
Awesome Capsule hotel experience with a little more space to stand up or stretching out. The spa (Onsen) made the experience more comfortable and the pajamas offered are nice too.

“A premium capsule hotel experience.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Capsule Room for Male
- • Stayed 5 nights
Buildings in Tokyo tend to be kept much warmer than I'm used to; probably around 26C. I noticed this at the airport, in shops and at this hotel. However First Cabin does provide free fans, if you need one.
I had a number of concerns about staying in a capsule hotel, but First Cabin successfully addressed all of them. To combat claustrophobia, the Business Class capsules are double-height; I could actually stand on my bed. Each capsule has thin walls and a blind instead of a door, but they have a strict no noise policy in the cabin area and a range of free services in relation to this, e.g. ear plugs, nasal strips to reduce snoring and a personal wake up service as you can't use an alarm. Each capsule also has a reasonably sized lockable storage box, measuring around 25cm x 60cm x 80cm, and you can leave any large items (e.g. suitcases) securely with reception staff. In relation to security, the layout was also much better than another capsule hotel I stayed at; one swipe of your keycard gives you access to your floor which contains lots of capsule rooms and shared shower, toilet, washroom and laundry facilities. Despite the capsule not having a lockable door, I felt perfectly safe. The shared facilities were ample and readily available, including two showers, three toilets and a laundry room on each floor. Everything is kept impeccably clean. First Cabin also offer a range of free items that I wasn't expecting, including pyjamas, slippers, Japanese USB to AC adapters and a few other things. All of the signage and written information is provided in Japanese and English, aside from instructions for the laundry equipment, but other guests helped me with that. The reception staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional and made my stay all the more memorable. Although I would not expect them to speak English, most of them were able to speak and understand at a basic level. Of course, as a guest in a foreign country, trying to speak a bit of Japanese and communicate through gestures is more fun!

The standard pajamas were a bit too small for my partner. Sound travels quite a bit here - a room of people coughing, snoring, etc might be bothersome for some people. There are headphones to watch TV - wish there had been any English channel but I that's asking a lot!
Lovely "getting ready" area on the women's side. Vanities with hairdryers, face wipes, qtips, different lotions and cleansers. Vending machines with hot coffee on the floor. Beds were pretty comfortable, there was a selection of items to freely borrow including extra pillows.
