Hoteles en Taitō, Tokio

Ventajas: Very clean, the place looks great. Slept in bunks with privacy curtains, would recommend bringing earplugs tho if you are a light sleeper.

Ventajas: The location is near the subway station and several places to grab a quick bite. Really beads are comfortable, but you need to make the bed yourself (I think this this a Japanese custom, since the same applies to the other hostels I stayed at in Japan). The staff were all helpful and friendly.

Ventajas: The room is really clean with room service everyday. Staffs are friendly and speak English very very very well. Toiletries replenish everyday. The surrounding of the hotel is in a beautiful and quiet district. I hope the next time I come to Tokyo, I can still reserve a room.

Desventajas: The bathroom is kind of too small, a turn in the shower required some squeezing. Around 10 minutes walk from Hotel to Nezu Metro Station and 15-20 minutes walk from Hotel to Keisei Ueno/JR Ueno Station through the Ueno Park, which is quite far in some sense.

Ventajas: Clean

Desventajas: Small and uncomfortable bed. We booked a room for two people. The bed was tiny. The room had only one set of towels. I think it was pretty clearly meant for 1 person. When I spoke with the front desk they insisted that no, it was for two and quickly brought up additional towels and such. But really, you can't sleep two people on a tiny bed. I literally walked the streets of Tokyo for most of the night so my wife could sleep. I won't be staying here again.

Ventajas: own futon room for 3000¥/Night with fridge and tv. nice kitchen and computers on ground floor. Plenty of convenient locations nearby for food and dinner.

Desventajas: A little far from tourists spots but at that price it had to be expected.

Ventajas: The staff are friendly. It's very inexpensive, so you can spend your travel budget on other things like good food.

Desventajas: When it's warm out there is apparently a rooftop area, but in the winter there are ZERO public areas to sit around. Want to take out a bento box to eat at your hotel? Forget it, there isn't a table or chair to sit on. They provide a tiny hand towel, but it's almost unusable for showering. This is one amenity I wish they would change their policy on, because everybody needs to shower. It's not like other capsule hotels I've stayed at. The capsules are more like booths in the wall, and the top bunks have air slits around the edges to adjacent booths. This makes it easier to hear the people around you. In the winter when I stayed, my adjacent booths were filled with coughing, snoring, sniffling people. It made sleeping difficult for my hypochondriac self. My traveling partner got sick, though he slept on the more isolated lower bunk. I would take this into consideration staying here in the winter: you'll be sharing a room with dozens of potentially cold-carrying people.
