REAL SAUNA KINSHICHO — Hotel in Tokyo

Stayed there for a week! Loved every second of it!

LOCATION Very nice location! Buses & many trainlines will get you to most of the top tourists attractions with only changing once or so. Beautiful view of Tokyo Skytree right when you step outside!

ROOM & SERVICE The capsule was cozy! The team was spectacular! So nice! Helped with everything! Even gave me an umbrella when it was raining! Their english is also good! The capsule gets cleaned daily! Get accustomed to japanese manners (leave street-shoes in entrance area, toilet/bathroom slippers, bathing etiquette) and you will fit right in :) Be quiet in the capsule area and be thoughtful of the others, then it will be a nice stay! If you are a super light sleeper, maybe get those earplugs (you can also get them at the reception counter).

AMENITIES Amenities like toothbrush, razor, a bathrobe/nightgown, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner & body lotion are provided. For anything else you forgot, there are several convenience stores, Don Quijote and Daiso in a 5min walking radius.

NOTICE You will have to leave the capsule hotel from 12:00 to 15:00 as they will clean the premises. So if you want to stay inside all day, maybe not for you. I left most mornings at 10/11am and came home at 18 to 22pm, so it didn’t matter to me! "Forced" me to explore a lot :)

My first solo trip and the team made it perfect!...

I am in my 50s and stayed here with my daughter for four nights.||||The Inn is an easy five minutes walk from both the the Subway and JR rail. We had JR passes so used JR as much as possible. Tokyo station is 10 minutes away and all areas of the huge metropolis are accessible. As the trains stop running at 12.00 it meant that we did have to leave Shinbuya 45mins away on the opposite side of Tokyo earlier than we wanted to.|||| The area is a commercial area with shops and eateries. It had a good Sushi restaurant next door. ||||The capsule was cosy and clean with a personal light. After going to bed it was lovely for a bit of "me-time" to browse on my phone and read a bit.||||The staff were extremely helpful and found out information for us. We wanted to know where the Sumo wrestlers practised and they contacted the club for information. Also, we were unsure where to catch our departure bus from and they checked the Internet, printed out a map with an explanation and gave us written instructions in Japanese had we needed them .|||| I don't see what more you can ask for in a major capital city at £18 each a night....

I thought I would give this place a bad review, but I simply can't! I was annoyed when I arrived to learn that the gym was men's only. The gym is located in the male onsen / shower area. The reason I booked was for the gym. The staff were accommodating and brought me some dumbbells out so I could use them. The staff are really great, such a friendly and helpful bunch. The sauna area is fantastic and makes this stay a special one. It's hard to find hostels with onsens in Tokyo that are reasonably priced. This sauna was very impressive, with a very hot sauna room (apparently the hottest in tokyo) and sauna beds that are cooler. There was also an onsen and a barrel of cold water. The beds were comfortable, and it felt like there was some space. The location was perfect as it was a quiet area but good access to everything. The skytree was a 20 minute walk. I can't give this place a bad review! I had a very happy stay despite not having...
