Capsule Hotel Asahi plaza Shinsaibasi

While the staff was super friendly, they have all my respect, I have to let you know of the minus points of this hostel. Even though it is cost-friendly, it's only value besides being kind of central, I will just point now all the things that need to be improved. 1. Bad lighting, it seems like you're living in a prison cell setting. 2.It is smelly everywhere you go. 3.There are many broken things and it seems they are like that for a long time.( Toilets, walls peeling off, sinks not working well, the ac in the capsule. 4. It's noisy, these Ac's are working all the time and are noisy, and cannot be turned off either. 5. My pillow is filled with some little plastic balls, super uncomfortable, feels like I sleep on a rock. 6. The mattress is super thin, good for sleeping on your back but as soon as you change position you'll feel everything. Not good for a sode sleeper. 7. The distribution of toilets and showers is weird. You got showers on on e floor and toilets on another. Maybe this is something personal but it's a thing that doesn't feel right. 8. Overall the place is super outdates and it seems like they know but just refuse to sell the place or invest into revamping it to modem conditions.

I am not enjoy to stay with thief or robbery, i don't feel safety. I am sure japan people always honest and do not steal if not their own. This will be tourist / outsider done Just be carefull. And one point, the staff non japanese talking with me with no empathy with my loss. At least i need him to check all customer stay in same room with me. But in the end, i must endure this alone. I hope japan do not welcome thief or robbery Thankyou.

Let's keep things simpler for the same price: we can find different, better options like BNB+ Namba (Google it); about this hostel It might be a bit too traditional, since the 1980s, absolutely nothing has changed, it's dirty on many levels. By the way, I told you there's no Wi-Fi. How the hell is there no Wi-Fi in a hostel? Anyway, the only redeeming feature is the two people at the front desk; by the way, there are only two people who speak proper English; Imagine a manga-filled, pornographic, and male-only environment, good luck.

All setting is fine , staff attitude are also polite, however don’t have any common sense on handling different situations. This night, I was packing my things at the locker and some glass on the floor injured my foot. After notifying the staff, they only gave me wet wipes to disinfect. What's even worse is that after waiting for 10 minutes, they told me that there was no tape and asked me to buy it myself. This way of handling things is speechless and don’t even have the basic inventory.

the place isn't good, I'll tell you that much. everything is old and uncomfortable. but the staff are friendly and everything is clean. if you're fine with giving up comfort in exchange for a really cheep price and a great location, then I recommend

Had to pick this because it was the golden week. Unfortunately the value is not there. 1. TV doesn't work 2. Limit to 1 towel per day despite having a spa/sauna shower area. 3. Capsule is only cleaned every 3rd night stay. the only good side about this is the location, which is near dotonburi. If given the choice I'll go back to AMZA. Edit: down to 1 stars as the WiFi doesn't work at all, staff do not round the amenities timely where toilets are left unflushed and showers are left dirty too.

***Stayed here for 3 nights in May 2025*** Likes 1. Excellent location in the heart of Shinsibashai, Namba. 5mins walk to metro stations and 10mins from Namba Station 2. Clean property, good staff. Lots of showers/toilets as needed. Toileteries, towels are provided 3. Capsule is loaded with TV, Radio, Lights (with dimmer), socket, mirror, AC etc. 4. Large common area to eat, socialise, work or just chill. Dislikes 1. No wifi in capsule, hardly connects 2. No cups, plates to heat your own food. Microwave & hot water is provided though 3. Lockers are all on ground floor. Everytime u need to get something u need to go all the way 4. Showers are in B1 irrespective of which floor your room/capsule is in 5. Bed/Pillow werent comfortable enough. Too hard for someone who's stayed in hostels around the world. This has to be the least comfy one

Good and low budget, pretty hard bed, but it was one of the best nightrests i had so far. Would visit again. Too bad there are no outlets in the capsules, but i assume it is to prevent fires.
