Good to stay. Quite and clean. Size of this room was outstanding comparing to others capsule hotel. I prefer to recommend to solo traveling. But limited of bathroom (only 2 shower and 1 share japanese style bath room) . I also see fungus in shower room Only 1 elevator that you need to use if you want to take a bath on B floor. It too slow. If you came before check in time( 17.00) . I think thier staff was lag in English communication. You need to talk with them via translation app.

Nice location, area has alot of bars, clubs and adult night life. Tons of conscience store and a ok 5 block distance from big station that can go to Tokyo station. Room is relatively quiet. The doors don't lock but there is a medium sized safety box.

Great value for it’s price. Perfect for travels who just need a place to stay and explore all throughout the day. Spacious considering it is a “luxary capsule”. Transport is very convenient, as the Akasaka Station is walking-minutes away!

I often stay at this location, it is convenient to three subway lines, has good restaurants near by, and is safe. I also enjoy the fact that there is a coffee shop attached to the Hotel. I am always amazed at the fact that the staff take apart the beds to clean them , and how the bath is scrubbed daily.

Business Class stay at First Cabin
Staying in a cabin is a notch higher than staying along a capsule. If you need more space than a capsule hotel but still on a budget, First Cabin is a good choice. I got the Business Class cabin. It had a compartment that you could put half a medium luggage worth of clothes in so that you don't need to open your luggage everyday. It has a TV (only Japanese channels) that you could watch with a headphone. You could ask for another pillow. I always need 2 pillows. I like their lounge at the basement where the showers/bath tub are. They also have 3 laundry machines. The bath tub and the common bathing area is very good. Unfortunately, some guests are not " informed" that there is no wearing of shorts in the bath tub (naked is the norm) and that you are suppose to bathe first before you go to the tub. But they do have the usual shower rooms if you don't want to be naked with other people. If capsules are considered "economy" stays, First Cabin gives you the Business class and First Class (bigger cabin) stays without breaking the bank. I would gladly stay at any First Cabin branches in the future.

The pull-down screens were really loud but that's what earplugs are for. There was also an area to secure your luggage while you're out as well as some extra pillows/blankets/humidifier for free. I like that there are private shower rooms (in Osaka, they only had an open bath Japanese style) that are a double lock - one is where you can change and then the actual shower room. What I don't like is that the bath is located in the basement which is only accessible via the elevator (for security reasons, you cannot take the stairs) and there's only ONE elevator. I recommend climbing the steps up/down to the reception and THEN using the elevator if you need to...because it's a waste of time waiting for it to take from 1F to 2F unless you have a lot of baggage. Aside from the hair dryer, the curler and straightener are travel-sized, meaning they are tiny and not recommended for those with lots of hair. I brought my own curler and was able to curl my own hair in my own space. Also - the laboratory only has 3 sinks on the women's floor and then 4 in the bathroom and I've noticed every morning, they'd be taken. Per my previous comment, I've brought everything I need which allows me to prep in my own space. Finally - I'd recommend spending a little more on the first class cabins as compared to the business class because I was able to open a carry on suitcase and my large backpack + extra space for two pairs of shoes. Even the storage space is slightly bigger.

I had never tried a capsule hotel before so i had no preformed idea of how it should be. I think this is truly functional accomodation so only stay if you really want the experience and don't mind a claustrophobic (potentially) sleeping space. Beyond that i could absolutely not fault this place for anything else. The facilities are excellent with really nice showers and baths. There are vending machines, a lovely café bar and the location is perfect. The even give you lovely pyjamas to wear

Akasaka area is great.
Outstanding hotel with good amenities for travelers. Located in Akasaka, it was next to the Chiyoda Metro station. Cafe located on site and there where restaurants everywhere nearby. Only complaint is the mattress was not comfortable - at all.

Nice Cabin Hotel.
The First Cabin experience was good overall. I liked how they cleaned the sleeping area so often, but they could do a little better job cleaning the men's bathroom. I stayed for a while and one of the showers was broken for the entire 5 day period. Too long to be broken with the amount of guests that were there during the busy week they had. The vending machines were well priced, however. And the lounge area in the basement was nice. I wish that they had a better designated luggage area like maybe some racks up in the cabin rooms above the head board. But otherwise the stay was enjoyable. The area of town was a business district, however, so not a great neighborhood for tourists to stay.
