Anshin Oyado Premier Shinjuku — Hotel in Tokyo

This was my first time staying at a capsule hotel and I stayed here for 5 nights. Overall my experience was great. The location of this hotel is fantastic, 5 minute walk to Shinjuku station, and 10-15 minute walk to the entertainment district where there are plenty of restaurants, bars etc. The staff spoke some English but it was enough to get across the key pieces of information you needed for your stay there as well as cover your conversation if you had any inquiries. For the capsules themselves they function very much like bunk beds in a hostel (I recommend when given the option to take a capsule on the bottom if you want to avoid climbing stairs to get up and down from your capsule). The capsules are basic but clean and each day you will be asked if you'd like it to be cleaned while you are away. I stayed in a deluxe capsule and size wise I fit just fine though I imagine if you are above 6ft 1 that you may encounter difficulty sleeping in a capsule. The capsules come with a complimentary water bottle, ear plugs, alarm clock, air conditioner and TV which offers a few free TV channels as well as pay-per-view films. One of the biggest advantages here is that this hotel offers perhaps the most amenities of any hotel I've ever stayed at. Free bathroom utilities such as toothbrushes, razor blades, soaps, creams, floss, toothpaste, tissues etc. There is also a set of casual pjama-like clothes you can take when you check in that were clean and comfortable to sleep in. The showers are communal as many Japanese baths are so as a foreigner that may be worth keeping in mind if it bothers you, and the showers also come with many amenities, shampoo, shower gel, hairdryers, towels etc. There is also a steam room and hot tub though the showers/steam room/hottub get very busy in the late evenings and early mornings so if you want to avoid that try to get in around noon. Also, there are massages offered in the evening but these are separate and have to be paid for. The lounge has computer booths, massage chairs, manga, drink and snack vending machines as well as seperate vending machines which offer free hot and cold drinks. Free breakfast is also served in the mornings although it is simply a selection of sweet buns and savoury rice balls and such with a limit of 2 per person, not really enough for a full breakfast but it's enough to keep you sated until lunch time. Generally I only have one complaint about this hotel which is the baggage/checking in checking out process, allow me to explain. When you check in you will be given a key for a small locker in which to place your shoes. Then you give this key back to reception and they will give you a diffirent key which is used to open a diffirent locker you can use to store any items you might have and also open the doors to the capsule rooms. While not necessarily bad, this becomes a bit of an annoyance because everytime you want to check out you have to give your capsule key back to reception in exchange for your shoe locker key which makes the process of checking in and out a little fussy. In addition, your luggage will more than likely be too big to fit into your locker and will be kept seperately in a room by the reception which means everytime you want to get something from it you will have to ask for your luggage from the reception which again is a process that is quite fussy. I think capsule hotels such as this are better for short stays rather than long ones. Ultimately the fussiness of the key and baggage exchange is a minor complaint and doesent undermine the quality of the hotel and as such I can strongly...
