HOTEL CAPSULE INN SHIZUOKA

I had a comfortable stay. The actual capsule is more like a small room rather than your typical Japanese capsule, so more than spacious enough to be comfortable. Showers and toilets are clean too. The location is a 5 minute walk away from Shizuoka station

Great place to stay. I was lucky with neighbours and with earplugs didn't hear anything. People start moving from 8-9 am, so it's not a place for late birds. Enough toilets, showers, space. I stayed there for a night and then booked another one. I would stay even longer, but they didn't have rooms. Everything is clean and good looking. Very nice place. I will stay there again if I'm in Shizuoka.

Staff speak confident and fluent English, which is amazing. Capsules are little cells, and are not real capsules, making it more comfortable to stay. Everything is clean and tidy. Extremely close to Shizuoka eki and there is a 7-11 nearby. Highly recommended for solo travellers!

Clean hostel with comfortable beds, very nice feature to be able to close the doors for privacy. No eating allowed in the room, but there is a microwave in the lobby. Unfortunately no kettle so no instant noodles or coffee can be made, which would be a good touch. The women’s floor is separated by locked doors to ensure only the women can enter the rooms which made me feel safe. Very good for the price and if you’re comfortable in a hostel environment.

A very cost effective hotel.

To my regret, should have booked ALL my nights in Shizuoka with this place. Because of some of the negative reviews online, I was sceptical and worried thus didn’t wanna put all eggs in one basket. But the worry was totally unnecessary. Given the price, a fair comparison should be a dormitory styled hostel, and this place far exceeds any of the capsule hotels/dorm hostels I’ve been to (I’ve booked around 50 in Japan by now). First, it has its own room and bed, privacy +1. Second, it has its own large locker in the room (not as large as the largest suitcase, but more than enough to keep valuables and clothes), convenience +1. Third, COMFY bed with incredibly thick foam support and super-single kinda width, sleep quality +1. Fourth, the shower room area is ultra spacious and brightly illuminated, with close to 10 counters (and chairs), you can take your time taking care of your hygiene and facial breakouts at your own pace. Fifth, it has a partner cafe (hug coffee) two doors next to it and the breakfast and/or drink coupons it offers could save you quite some money compared to walk in yourself. The list could go on when you compare it to other hostels in the town (instead of hotels in another price range) Given, the door of the room cannot be locked, and there could be a chance of hearing noise from other rooms, but these are common issues across all hostel settings, and it’s more of the travellers issue than the place. So overall, I must say this is a place of very high value. I’ll almost always stay in this place if I’m to pass by Shizuoka again in the future.
