Hostels in Japan

Comfortable to go other place. It'sclose to bus express and shinjuku station

Location is good, and all these rooms are very clean, they will clean everyday after 11am. Fair price for the hotel

Good location old capsule hotel. What annoyed me is the following. You need to check out every single day. You cannot leave anything in your capsule so you have to move everything twice every day. Let’s say you want to go to your room; you meed to do the following. Wait for elevator. There is probably a line so you have to wait for the second elevator. Then take off your shoes in a 1sq meter place...

I had a very pleasant experience overall. The capsule bed was clean and comfortable, and essentials such as towels, toothbrushes, earplugs, and pyjamas were provided. I also found the designated areas for suitcases and other personal belongings in the capsule room very practical. The only downside for me was the luggage storage situation. During the booking process, it was stated that luggage storage...

This is my go-to capsule hotel whenever I’m in Shinjuku. However, if you are conscious of cleanliness and looking for a hostel to stay, this is not right for you, as you need to check out by midday per their policy. Cleanliness isn't their thing, but the location is almost perfect at an affordable price. You can book breakfast, but it's from a different location, so it’s kinda a hassle. Overall, affordability...

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Associa. The location is extremely convenient, especially for travelers using JR trains — direct access to or very close to the station made moving around effortless, even with luggage.

This one just beats all my other stays in Japan, it was seriously that good. The location is near Umeda Station, a super quick three-minute walk, and it was so easy to find amazing local cuisine nearby. The public bath is the absolute MVP here. I was totally not expecting someone with a tattoo on the back like me to be allowed in, but it was fine. My Japanese friend even said, "Your public bath is...

Very good! The facilities are new and the location is excellent, perfect for solo travelers. It's really nice; the room is spacious and it's located right on a commercial street with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, which is super convenient!

The mattress wasn't very comfortable, and the poor soundproofing made it quite noisy, which affected my sleep.

Great location, excellent value for money, perfect for solo travelers.

This hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations; it's almost on par with a five-star hotel. I've stayed in many capsule hotels, and this one is the best. The large public bath has everything you could possibly need, they even provide swim trunks! Razors, toothbrushes, hand towels, bath towels, pumice stones, exfoliating mitts, and multiple types of facial cleansers – they have it all. Can you believe...

Oo troublesome for guests. We have to check in and check out everyday. The problem is that, Trip.com didn't mention that. Too bad.

The price was reasonable, and there was a low-temperature sauna and various public baths, so I was able to stay comfortably. On my second night, when there was no indoor clothing available, I was able to let the reception know.

The large public bath was nice

It's about a ten-minute walk from Kawasaki Station. Just across the main road is the commercial district. It's very lively at night, with yakitori bars and beautiful women. It's generally quiet at night, suitable for ordinary people traveling to Japan. It's mainly about saving money, and the main price is economical.

Capsule only. Trouble extending my stay. Mostly a sauna for locals. I'll be back . Very happy.

Convenient check-in at any time

You cannot check in between 10am and 3pm, and you cannot check in for consecutive days. Do you need to pay extra? It is not convenient to change keys and get shoes when going out.

Prime location, clean, friendly staff. Used business single, perfect for solo travelers. Some might find it small but if you just chuck your suitcase away it’s not so bad. It has all the essentials. Ah bathroom toilet might be tight for tall people.

The room was quite spacious, and the cleanliness was excellent! A special thank you to the staff for finding my ring that I had dropped in the room! I wasn't sure if I'd lost it on the street or in the room, so I called the hotel on a whim to ask if they'd found a ring, and to my surprise, it really was left in the room. The ring itself is quite valuable, so I'm incredibly grateful to the staff. They...

convinient location but room not very clean. may prefer to stay at other similar priced budget business hotels next time.

Best combination of hostel and hotel with best and most friendliest and helpful staff as well as always a great breskfast buffet, really worth the price 😜

This place is very well-run with its dormitories. There is space to store items like clothes in the shower room, and the lounge on the first floor is comfortable. There is also free tea and a coffee capsule machine. There were a lot of comic books.

Location was perfect. Good breakfast. The room was bigger than I expected.

I give them a 10/10 rating, but I should mention one issue. I paid tax twice—the staff asked for a tax payment, even though the online payment I made earlier already included taxes. This was a bit disappointing

lovely hostel. Should bring your own amenities as not provided

The hostel is very nice and modern. Good location in the heart of Kyoto but a bit distant from subway stations and buses. Yet still easy to travel to famous tourist spots in the city. Cabin was standard size with nice common areas at basement. Large storage room allowed you to keep luggages before checking in and during your stay which is a plus . Facilities in hostel were very good. Staffs are very...

I loooove Piece Hostel Sanjo! The staff is super helpful, its in a very good location whereby you'll reach the train station or bus stop in less than 10 mins by foot! The room is actually quite spacious and I love the area that you can just hang out to eat your kombini meals or people watch! Didnt use the rooftop at all though cos its winter and having breakfast (that you pay for) is convenient when...

The beds were incredibly comfortable, the common lounge was exceptionally luxurious, and the restrooms were very well-maintained. The only downside was the location, as it's a bit far from the subway line.

Really liked this hostel. Everything was clean and had good facilities. Close to key attractions too!

I may be there again. Good service ! I lost my ear pod, the security tried hard to look for it for me. Location is not that well. 10-15 minutes walk to station. Area is red light district but no bother me if I ignore all solicitation. Okinawa is kind of behind than the Japan mainland, no subway! Tropical weather if I go winter season. I may may go again if I find a reason to go.

The room is small, self-service check-in/out, parking is paid, and you need to get a card from the counter to exit the parking lot. There is a hot spring area on the second floor where you can soak for free. It is very close to Kokusai-dori.

It was clean, the facilities were good, and I had a comfortable stay. I would like to stay here again. I stayed in a capsule, and was able to take a dip in the hot springs, so it was great value for money.

Although it was located in the entertainment district, it was quiet even during Golden Week. My flight was delayed and I arrived at the hotel after 1am, but a friendly man at the front desk helped me out a lot. There was also a bath, so I was able to relax after my trip. I was grateful that the price was less than 10,000 yen for a room only, even during Golden Week.

Good hotel in general. Just located a bit far from the center and not really transportation nearby. Otherwise all good

The capsule was spacious and big enough for a solo traveller. The matress was okay, could be more comfy. Bathroom and shower were clean. Hot water and WiFi were available all the time. The staff was friendly and helpful.

If you’re thinking about staying at the hostel in La'gent Hotel Okinawa Chatan—this is your sign. It’s one of those places that’s affordable but doesn’t feel cheap. Clean facilities, cozy beds, good location, and a calm atmosphere that makes solo travel feel easy. No regrets at all—actually one of my favorite stays this trip.

The front desk staff were super friendly and patient, and the room was really clean. There's a dry cleaning machine available, and you need a key card for everything in the shower area, which keeps it safe and tidy. Great choice for solo travelers!

All good, the breakfast is also good.

Solo trip but the staff and the public place is super nice highly recommended ppl here and u can also get a free ice cream each day

Perfect hostel for solo travellers. It gets the job done and its near the airport which makes it very convenient. Amenities are very good too

First time trying out a bunker bed just for experience. I was very surprised indeed. So spacious clean and have all the basic that we need. Of course less toothpaste and luckily i brought my own. Highly recommended hotel. Near to sunset beach and American village.

Close from and to the Yokohama train station..Clean and nice shower bath...Friendly and kind front desk staff...Many good restaurants and shops around area. Safe neighborhoods..

That was my first experience in that type of hostel. It was actually really nice after I experienced being in another one. It was just a bit difficult to remember my key and pushing unlock-but great for safety. Just maneuvering all my stuff around was a bit of a trick-but it was a very nice organized place.

It was average the air was bad in the sleeping pod. I can’t really breathe well.

The beds were clean, and there were enough communal showers and toilets. The lockers were a bit narrow, only big enough for daily essentials. Larger bags and suitcases had to be stored in the common storage room.

Convenient location and clean. Great amenities like toothbrush, towels, pjs and slippers were provided, as well as there being makeup cleanser, toner and location in the ladies washroom. Check in and check out was easy. Note that there is no longer luggage storage after check out, and the sauna/baths are men-only. I also had requested a bottom bunk but had received a top one, and found the bottom...

Great budget stay for the solo traveler! The place was always thoroughly clean and staff were friendly and helpful. It took some getting used to since it was my first time staying at a capsule hotel. For instance, no outside shoes in the capsule area: disposable slippers are provided once you arrive, so switch to those affter putting down your luggage. If you need an extra pair, you can grab one...

Hotel prices have been really high lately, so even though I wasn't thrilled about it, I booked a capsule hotel with a guaranteed spot on the first floor this time. It was only a few stops from Shinjuku and very close to the station, which sealed the deal. True to its name, it's a women-only hotel, which made me feel very safe. What truly impressed me were the amenities: free alcohol, free late-night...

I heard that starting March 4, 2026, it will become women-only. It's a shame that men won't be able to stay here anymore, but next time I visit, I'll definitely check out the Shinjuku branch. I've stayed at four of their locations in Tokyo, and the Ogikubo branch, just like the others, was impeccably clean.

The lockers were spacious, the bath was nice, and the bathroom amenities were also very easy to use. They had ramen and curry for breakfast and dinner, which was nice. The popcorn was also good with the alcohol. However, it was hot inside the capsule.

I already dream of coming back here. I don’t think you could get any more a positive experience from a capsule hotel. This will be my home base in future Tokyo trips!

Anshin Oyado Ogikubo is a well-equipped capsule hotel with complete men’s amenities — no need to bring your own. The location is slightly out of the city, about a few stations away from Shinjuku, and around 45 minutes to other major attractions. However, Ogikubo itself is a charming small town worth exploring — quiet, clean, and perfect for relaxation. Conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from...

Very clean and nice service. Free alcohol and breakfast were good.

Very nice, great area and super nice environment with a bar downstairs. Would recommend

The hostel has a clean and smelless bathroom. Humidifier placing in the room helps a lot to create a comfortable environment. The most important thing is that the Japanese workers there can speak fluent English, which is completely the opposite outside of the hostel. They recommended me to amazing affordable local Japanese restaurants as well👍🏻

Not only is it conveniently located near the station, but the amenities were all stylish and well-maintained by MARKS AND WEB?, and the facilities were very clean. The shared space was equipped with a refrigerator, basic kitchen utensils, cutlery, and coffee and tea, making it ideal for long-term stays. There was also a cafe on-site, where guests could order breakfast for an additional fee. In addition...

Was a decent stay, was very warm and privacy was decent but could be improved

The best hostel I've stayed at during my stay in October 2025. The staff is very helpful and polite. No problems!

close to multiple stations as well as only a 20 minute walk from Akihabara station. only downside is that amenities run out in the early hours.

Facilities were pretty clean and good. Stayed in the women's only floor and luckily in the lower bunk or else I might have hard time going up and down on the upper bunk. The area have lots of nearby restaurants, and it's nearby the dotonboori and malls so shopping and strolling will be no worries.

The rooms are clean, and the male and female floors are separated. The front desk service is very friendly. It's very close to JR Namba Station and OCAT Bus Terminal, making it ideal for travelers catching early morning buses.

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, so I was quite worried, but I found the facilities to be clean and especially considerate towards women. They provided sanitary pads, hair lotion, and spray in the restrooms. Even for the affordable price, I was very satisfied. The space separation was well done, and it was so cute that the front desk handed out candies! However, it's about a 15 to...

I felt safe and comfortable .They had only the women's floor and everything was clean. The location is very close to OCAT building where I got off from Haneda airport bus, but it's about 15 mins walk to the shopping center.

The hostel is located nearby JR Namba station (South Exit) only 1 min by walk and there is the elevator in the building on the right hand side of south exit of JR namba station that you can use to get down and the building is connected with JR Namba station south exit. There is separate floor for only women that you have to tap the keycard in the elevator to go up to your floor and tap again on the...

The hotel is clean. Staff can communicate in English. Location is great, just behind namba station.

The rooms and common areas are very spacious, making for a comfortable stay. The cleaning staff came every day, and my roommates were all friendly. I had no issues during my extended stay here. This hostel in Funabashi is really good.

It's a capsule hotel, so it's understandable, but it's very good from the perspective of a place with no meals included.

Would not recommend if you're foreign

The Showa-style capsule hotel with a history of more than 30 years is easy to find next to Funabashi Station. The clerk does not speak English, so communicate in Japanese or with translation software. There are Chinese and English precautions at the front desk, which the clerk will give. Large luggage can be stored in the stairwell and can be taken at any time. The storage compartment space is okay...

It's close to the Keisei and JR stations, so I use it as a place to stay the night before an early morning flight from Narita Airport.

They are all old men. There are female waiters in the big bath. Be careful, don't go if you are shy. It is old and retro, but it is good. The comics are all in Japanese and I can't understand them. The occupancy rate is not high, but it's okay if you are socially anxious.

Very quiet! The hygiene was excellent and everything was clean. A great first experience staying in a capsule hotel.

The facilities were very clean and it was quiet at night, making for a very comfortable overall experience. However, there are some things to note regarding luggage storage: you have to call the hotel on check-in day to open the door before you can store your luggage, and on check-out day, you can't store luggage because the main door is locked (and it seems there might be a fee). This was quite inconvenient...

Everything was great, it was just a little disappointing that the staff didn't speak English.

The hotel was clean overall, and other guests were quiet, making for a pleasant stay. I hardly ever ran into other guests in the shower or restroom, so it was never crowded. I had a lot of luggage, so I had to be careful when opening my suitcase.

Clean and tidy, with a shower room and laundry facilities. It offers decent value for money, though the lockers are a bit small.

It was nice that the female and male rooms and elevators were separated. It was also nice that the sleeping area was separate from the lockers, so there were no noise in the sleeping area.

Before checking in, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after staying, I totally get why it's worth the cost. The common area is quite spacious, perfect for guests to eat. The second floor is where the rooms are. As you enter, there are lockers on the left, and the path to the restrooms and showers is also on the left. The right side is solely for sleeping.

The capsule bed was spacious, toilet and bathroom were clean. Near the supermarket which was just across the road and next to convenience store. Luggage storage was provided before and after check in/out. Walking distance around 25 mins from Kawaguchiko Station. The only downside was you were not allowed to stay inside the capsule bed and need to leave from that building after 10 am until 3 pm as...

Great customer service and excellent communication from the team. The place is clean and well maintained and the capsule is comfortable and well equipped.  Thank you.

Clean, best location to train station, free hot water in public zone

Located just right opposite Fuji Q station, just 1 station away from Kawaguchiko station, only 2 mins walk. Not much eateries nearby but there’s a Lawson next to the hotel.

Place is extremely good location if you plan to end your day trip to Fuji-q highland. Comfortable for a night’s stay but not much around other than some restaurants and Lawson.

The place was well-maintained and the cafe/bar had a great atmosphere.

The owner and staff are all very friendly, and the atmosphere is great! The bedding and sheets were also very clean, clearly well-washed. Downstairs, it seems like many locals come for lunch or to the cafe. The area is quiet, and there are convenience stores nearby (three of them!). There's also a church close by, though I didn't confirm if actual services are held there (as I'm not Christian). The...

It was stylish, clean, and overall very comfortable. The room was also well-maintained, allowing me to relax and feel at ease. The location is also great, and I was personally very happy to be able to see the Skytree just a short walk away, and I enjoyed taking a walk there. I think it's a great place for sightseeing as well. I felt it was very good value for money, and I'd definitely stay here again...

Loved this hostel! Super sociable and also very clean! Staff were also all very lovely :) Thanks

Sensoji Temple was within walking distance, which was nice, and evening strolls along the river provided a nice view of Skytree, making for a pleasant stroll. However, despite its location in front of Kuramae Station, it's a bit far from major tourist attractions, which was a bit disappointing. Also, because it's a guesthouse, I had to make my own duvet cover, which was a bit disappointing. However...

Excellent hostel, I stayed here for my last two days in Tokyo. I booked a private room, which was quiet and comfortable. The bedding was clean (you make your own bed), and the duvet was warm and fluffy. I'd say the room size is ideal for one person at most. Even though the bathroom was shared on the floor, it was right opposite my room, there were never any queues, and it was always spotless. The...

The capsule rooms are a little uncomfortable as most capsules do. But the public bath and all the relaxation areas were excellent. Staff is very friendly and it is definitely worth the price.

First time in a capsule hostal, and this was SO amazing. Was to be in a gentleman club. Bathroom and sauna was amazing, a Lot of space, and amenities. Hoster we're very helpfully because check-in software is just in Japanese, but they helped me with everything. Definilty i Will go again. Also was very close to transport and adult service ;)

Very clean and comfortable bath with many pools and different facilities.

Incredible sauna facilities. One of the best I’ve experienced. Definitely recommend for sauna if you’re travelling to Hiroshima and need to recharge your batteries

Auto leil is powerful. Variations on the three saunas are also good. Although it is a compact space, it has all the necessary elements for a trendy sauna. It would have been better if there was a type of chair with a fallen back.

Cheap. Friendly staff. Nice onseen. Good location.

I visited in winter, and I highly recommend the package that includes breakfast. Even though there's a convenience store just a block away, it's too cold in the morning. Being able to enjoy a freshly prepared Western breakfast without having to go out was great, and the staff's English was excellent.

The room was a bit small, and there wasn't a good place to put luggage. The soundproofing was also quite poor; I could clearly hear people talking in the common area at night, though I know that's primarily their issue. Overall, it was okay.

Absolutely loved this hostel. The way the beds are arranged mean that nobody is next to you, which led to better privacy. The common spaces were clean and well used by guests and the staff were amazing. One of the better hostels I have stayed at in my time. The showers are small, but that’s comparative for bathrooms in Japan.

The front desk staff were super friendly and nice! The price was quite affordable, and it was easy to find. In a multi-person dorm, snoring is pretty much inevitable, but with earplugs, it was fine, and I slept pretty well.

This is my third time staying at Imano Hostel. The front desk staff are very friendly, and most importantly, the location is incredibly convenient. It's right next to Shinjuku-sanchome in Tokyo, making it super easy to get anywhere in the city. The rooms are basic hostel style, but for this price in Tokyo, especially given the location, it's pretty good. The washrooms are convenient, and the shower...

The room and toilet are clean. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. It is a bit far away from JR Shinjuku station.

A great stay. The capsule room was comfortable and spacious. Great service!

The hostel is conveniently located directly outside Higashimikuni Station (take exit 1-3 for the nearest entry to the hostel). I stayed here for 4 nights and it was reasonably comfortable. The shower was decent sized, toilets had heated seating and the communal space was spacious. The capsule dorm had a large number of capsules but most days there weren’t much occupancy. They provide PJs, Pola skin...

Weird rules 10am need to out even booked for 3 night

This was my first experience staying at a capsule hotel so it takes some getting used to at first, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The shower facilities are very nice and clean. The capsules are quite basic but comfortable enough and they all have charging ports. Lockers, towels and roomwear are all provided free of charge. The location is good - just a 1 minute walk from the metro station....

It's really inconvenient that shoes have to be locked on the first floor. The lockers are also too narrow to fit a suitcase. Other than that, the conditions are pretty good.

It might be a bit more expensive than a capsule hotel, but overall the facilities are good. Service and transportation are definitely not an issue. It's a great choice for staying in Osaka.

Was quite basic but alright. The smoking room being next to the main sleep section wasn’t great. Also the whole floor was very hot and with a thick fur blanket (comfy as it was) made everything a lot hotter. But that’s me being picky, £30 for 2 nights was good enough value. Just average

Good location, kept clean regularly and reception uses English very well. Even got a nice new years gift upon check in.

If only the single room had a separate door lock, so that you don't need to lock the cabinet every time you go out.

The capsule pod / private room design is very good. You get the price of a hostel, but privacy of a normal hotel room. Good location, walkable to both train station and Atomic bomb dome.

This is the place that made me appreciate capsule hotels. Spotlessly clean, with a check-in that’s a little strict but very efficient. Facilities are well designed and guests are very respectful. I was also able to store my bike, packed in its rinko bag, without any issues. A capsule experience I can recommend.

Washing machine available, everything you would expect from a budget friendly capsule hotel, good location, only some of the mattresses in the rooms which were not updated yet would use an exchange since especially towards the middle they aren’t so thick (compared to the sides).
