NADESHIKO HOTEL SHIBUYA

Getting here was kinda tricky. But then again, we had to drag heavy suitcases uphill in the rain. Then we found this check in window facing the street next to a laundromat. Yes, that was our check in. She was friendly and handed us our keys and we went upstairs.| Warning: there is no elevator and the stairs is steep and narrow. You get the idea. I wanted to stay in a capsule hotel because I always wanted to try one. It's kinda cool and economical. But it's basically like a hostel, which I've never stayed in before. The actual sleeping pods were fun, but I felt like I had to always be quiet coming and going. The kimono robes they gave us were cute and definitely felt like a true Japanese experience.| I didn't see any dining options like in the photos on here. Maybe I missed it. Our pods were on the 4th floor, but I was too exhausted to bring my suitcase all the way up, so I just left it on the 2nd floor lounge and kept it locked and only carried up my essentials, which was inconvenient at times.| The onsen was nice and hot. It was by the showers and was very relaxing. I was able to nap before my night out.| I was hoping random travelers would be more fun, but everyone was cold and not friendly especially when people were climbing over each other to get ready to check out in the morning. But that's not the hotel's fault.| This was a fun place to stay for one night, and if you have to luggage, don't mind the shared space, and want to save money, then this is ideal. But I think my friend and I prefer our own hotel rooms from now on.

It was my first experience staying in a capsule hotel. I was lucky because the room I was allocated was quiet and tidy. There are 8 capsules in the room. You get a locker space which is the size of a carry-on bag and shoes. The capsule is small, but big enough for changing clothes and organising my stuff. I loved the big bathroom. I came back to the hotel around 3 am, and I could use it just by myself!

It is about 10mnt walking from shibuya station, hachiko exit. I love the place as it is pretty quiet but there are plenty of restaurants open even at 2am. Public bath and onsen is at 2F and rooms are at 3F and 4F. So plan not to carry heavy luggage.

(The only good thing is the location, the kind Japanese staff member who checked me in, and that there is a sento-style bath.) I decided to leave 1 star before I had even checked-in because of the extreme rudeness of a member of staff when I went to leave my luggage there. You are told to ring the bell or ring the phone number to leave your luggage, so I rang the bell. I waited about 1 minute and then someone came out and rudely spoke to me like they were talking to a petulant child before I had even spoken to them yet! The second time she said something rudely to me, I asked her "why are you being rude to me?" And she said "I'm just cleaning staff"? I don't see the correlation...? Also she didn't check my name or booking, so the luggage room is not really safe in my opinion. For 17000yen I think it's crazy that there are rude staff, check-in is only from 4pm and after check out you cannot leave your luggage or wait around. Also the side of the bed had clumps of dust and the hairdryer seemed to have some electrical spark malfunction that didn't seem safe... I don't recommend it.

Loved this cosy place. Perfect location and quiet area. Close to Shibuya key locations. And very, very clean. The stuff cooperated efficiently on-line for all stages of my stay from check in through out. Thank you so much for a quick response and solving the matter of my late arrival. Would recommend this hotel to others.

Stayed for 1 night at this capsule hotel and it had everything I needed. The public bath is nice and since the hotel is small, there is a good chance you won't run into anyone using it at the same time. However my room lock was broken and didn't lock during my stay.

The beds/pods are standard. Comfortable enough and the staff are super helpful. The amenities were great. A hot communal bath, a dedicated area to get ready for the day, with everything you need and a lounge area. It's super close to public transport and attractions. Would have given 5 stars if bed and pillow was a bit more comfortable and the building is a bit tired.

The best is the onsen, check-out is at 10am, you can leave luggage before check-in, felicidades very safe, only woman, kombini nearby,

I loved this place! This was my first ever capsule hotel experience. My girlfriend and I liked the fact that it was near Shibuya station (a 13 minute walk that passed quickly) and that it was females only. I'm not sure how this capsule hotel would compare with a mixed gender hotel, but we were extremely surprised at how nice the capsule hotel was. It felt almost like a spa - everyone was respectfully quiet toward one another, it smelled really nice and felt incredibly relaxing. There is one big shared bathroom with two shower stalls, three of the seated shower seats you'd normally see at a spa, two individual sized hot tubs and one large hot tub. There is a separate area for people to use hair dryers/put on makeup. It was a lot more glamorous than we expected. Additionally, on the sleeping floors, there are two separate toilet rooms with a sink outside. The capsule itself feels private but I will admit the mattress is extremely thin - practically like sleeping on a wooden crate - and you can hear people shuffling around as they sleep. It was not a great sleep by any means, but as I was only there one day, and it was an experience, I didn't mind it. My recommendation would be to have thicker mattresses. The blankets and pillows are very nice though. And within the capsule there is a personal light and outlets for charging. When you pull the screen down for your capsule, you can't tell at all that there is a light on outside of your capsule. There is even a lounge area with computers, tea and snacks that you can sit in, which I took advantage of. WiFi here worked great. Though it seemed like the capsule hotel was pretty fully booked, it still felt private and quiet. Receptionist was very nice, spoke good English, and helpful. Overall, I felt like the capsule hotel was really well thought out to service/accommodate its customers. Another thing we LOVED about the place was at night, on our walk to Shibuya, the street came alive with all these super cute, small but not crowded restaurants. We ended up eating at two places, By the Sea (seafood) and a pizza place and loved both. I likened it to the Nob Hill area of SF. It was a great atmosphere outside of the craziness of the more popular areas. Each night stay in a capsule was ￥7300 and is best used for individual traveling. Despite the uncomfortable bed, I'd prefer staying here over an American motel - it's much better value.
