Worst place ever I stayed in Tokyo Japan, I choose it since all others places been booked over holiday weekend. And they double the price almost three time when regular price due there no other hotel. And is not clean and old. I booked in non smoking but smiling of my booked place is smoking. Don’t go with it

The only thing good about the place is it being close to Ueno Station, and plenty of izikayas and restaurants. The place is pretty disgusting! I'm no snob, and have travelled alot in the past 20 years, but here was something else. It's dirty, smelly, run down, and hasn't been cleaned properly in years. When it came to using the bathrooms I hated putting on the filthy sandals, and restored to the using the toilet a la Finch from American Pie. I requested a non-smoking capsule but at the end of the corridor was the smoking area so everything and everywhere smelt of cigarette smoke. Then there's the taps - I used bottled water to brush my teeth as I didn't want the water from the dirty taps coming into contact with my mouth! The sleeping capsule itself was stained yellow through nicotine, and there was a couple of ominous looking brown marks on the inside of the curtains, as well as dirt on the mirror. And to top it off the music (well, one song), a Spanish guitar style elevator tune, played in the reception/shower/locker area is on constant repeat, like some hellish groundhog say nightmare. I've complained to Hotels.com but have yet to receive a response. Classic. If I could have found somewhere else to stay on discovering how disgusting it is I would have, but alas it was a public holiday and most accommodation, aside 5* hotels, was booked up. It's not even cheap to stay!

Cheap place to stay!
It's a great place to stay if you want to see how a capsule hotel works.. And it's very close to the Ueno JR station about 10mins walk. It also has a Sento public bath area so you need to be not shy lol!! Just a heads up lots of people smoke.. But I was on the non smoking floor.

Close to a lot of stuff! Good enough to stay.
Hotel is right on Ameyoko which means plenty of shopping and food places just as you step out. Both JR (including Shinkansen) and Subway train station is very close as well which means means you can get around Tokyo very easily. Finding it was a pain though. Used Google Maps and it brought me to its newer sister Hotel, Oriental. Turns out New Century was behind it but you still have to walk around the building for it. The hotel itself looks to be a bit old. However they kept very clean and smells nice all the time. Except for the stairs. Smells really musky there. The capsules were a little too warm for me too.

good location, kind staff, budget capsule hotel
호텔은 구글맵을 통해 쉽게 찾을 수 있었고, 마침 한국인 직원이 있어서, 호텔 사용에 관해 상세한 안내를 들을 수 있었습니다. 불편했던 점을 먼저 말씀드립니다. 백팩 정도는 개인 라커에 보관할 수 있지만, 캐리어는 입구 창고에 보관하게 되어 있습니다. 물론 중간에 짐 정리를 위해 캐리어를 내달라고 직원에게 말씀하셔야 하는데, 직원들이 친절해서 불편하지는 않습니다. 따로 짐 정리를 할 공간이 없어서 라커룸을 이용해야 하는데, 다른 분들도 거기서 짐 정리를 하기 때문에 눈치를 보는 것은 아닙니다. 내부에 컵라면 이외에는 요기가 될 만한 게 없고, 식사 공간이 좁아서 조금 불편합니다. 식사는 밖에서 하시고, 슈퍼나 편의점에서 도시락류를 사오신다면 조금 기다렸다 드셔야할 경우가 있습니다. 이 정도 외에는 그리 불편함 없이 3박을 잘 지냈습니다. 내부에서 사용하는 실내복과 수건은 매일 잘 세탁되고 다림질되어 있습니다. 탕에는 치약은 없지만, 치솔 등 나머지 세면도구, 화장품류는 잘 구비되어 있습니다. 캡슐의 시트는 매일 교체되고, 화장실은 비데가 설치된 칸도 있습니다. 캡슐 안에는 TV와 실내등, 알람시계가 구비되어 있고, 이어폰도 있습니다. (한쪽 귀에만 끼게 되어 있습니다.) 옷걸이와 간이 선반이 있어서 필요한 사물을 가져다두고 사용할 수 있습니다. 귀중품은 리셉션 바로 앞에 있는 금고에 보관하셔도 됩니다. 쇼핑을 매일 해서 짐 정리하실 게 많은 경우라면 도미토리를 이용하시는 게 더 편하실 수 있겠습니다만, 그렇지 않은 혼자 도쿄 여행이라면 가성비 높은 선택이 될 것으로 봅니다.

I was really suspicious at start because of the smoking, but it is well controlled and you are really close to metro stations. There is a nice lounge with good chairs to relax in and the staff is friendly, but they still have to do their job so don't expect to pass time with them. GREAT use of the onsen and sauna!

Stay at New Century
I spent the night here as i was traveling around. The hotel is located close to the station so you can easily catch a train and go exploring. The hotel staff was friendly, and even spoke english. The capsule itself was clean, and I slept well. Also a fun experience if you havent tried capsule hotel before.

Capsule more for the locals
It's more of a capsule hotel for Japanese men. Not many backpackers around. Smell of smoke is almost everywhere. Except the above it's okay by capsule hotel standard.

Sweat and second hand smoke
The capsules have no ac and the hotel's ac is over powered by the hot tub and sauna during peak hours. If you enjoy sleeping in temperatures under 85 F and humidity less than 92%, avoid this place. The nicest part of this place is that it is 24 hours, meaning that you don't have to check out every day like many capsule hotels require. Also, the staff are not rude. Not of much service, but not rude.

Not comfortable full of smokers and noise makers
I stayed there for 2 nights I didn't expect much at first since I hv been visited many capsule hotels in Tokyo. This is the worst. Old and smelly. Full of smokers. If you don't like cigarette, defenitely not going here. It will make you feel dizzy coz the smell goes to your capsule. You will have a hard time sleeping because many tourists especially Chinese and Koreans make noises in the middle of the night many times. I had to wake up and told them to behave. They even made louder noises. Not recommend. Bad experience staying here. The shared bathroom is also dirty. Staffs OK but they should take care more of their facilities.

Great for short stays
This is a capsule hotel, which makes it great if you just want to spend the night somewhere. It also has a nice sauna/bath area. People are friendly and easygoing. There's good wifi both in the lobby and in the capsules. Ueno is a short ride from Tokyo station and a pretty good base to explore all of Tokyo. There are lots of simple Japanese restaurants in the neighbourhood. All in all I liked the "old" Century Capsule Hotel just down the road a little better, it's run by the same owners and very similar.

America Mura
Great location in Osaka, in the America Mura district which is full of young people (if that is your interest). Only problem with this hotel that I did not find in an earlier review is that one side of the hotel shares a wall with a pachinko parlour. This means there is a ridiculous amount of noise until late on one side of the hotel, my room was on that side. I ended up sleeping for part of the night in the lounge area (with many others for the same reason I imagine) and when it was quiet I went to my capsule. Another issue was there was no power socket in my capsule so charging phones etc. was difficult as everyone was charging stuff in the common area sockets. Overall a good experience.

value for money
the capsule hotel is at a very good location, near to both ueno train station(s). it is also in close proximity to all the shopping, and plentiful of restaurants all around the area. However the location is hard to find if at night. They provide locker, so you can store your things, the bigger luggage will be stored at the front desk.
