Sauna & Capsule Hotel Rumor Plaza

The lockers and bedrooms are on the same floor so you don't need to change floors to access them, bathroom is spacious and bathroom lockers are plentiful, honestly a perfect spot. Toothbrushes, face cleanser, and razors were very useful

I liked the location a lot. The beds were comfortable and the sleeping area was very quiet.

The spa is not friendly to people with tattoos. This is not uncommon for Japan but as a pod hotel I would've expected them to be more accommodating. I knew this before booking so it doesn't affect my rating.

Das Hotel liegt an eine sehr guten Lage und bietet unglaublich viel für den Preis. Im Badezimmer ist wirklich alles vorhanden, was man sich vorstellen kann. Und es ist äusserst sauber. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Auch das Restaurant kann positiv erwähnt werden. Die Ramen waren sehr lecker und günstig.

Das Frühstück empfand ich als gut bis sehr gut, aber es hat noch Potential nach oben. Zum Beispiel sind abgepackte Croissants schlechter als keine Croissants. Und die Säfte sind nicht wirklich gut.

Considering I picked a very non-tourist capsule hotel, the staff was extremely helpful and professional—even in English when my limited Japanese was insufficient. The central location in town was also a huge plus, putting me close to many local activities I had planned, several excellent restaurants, ATMs and konbinis, and plenty of shops.

The idea of a capsule hotel is alluring in novelty, but not in practice. The lack of privacy, temperature control, security, or dining and bathing options grossly outweighed the novelty. Food options in the restaurant were limited, at least for breakfast. Storage space was limited to a slim locker and vaguely-monitoring large luggage in the lobby hallway. The onsen, despite being advertised as practically 24hr, is shut down for cleaning not late at night or early in the morning but from 9-10am—I’d blame this on being geared more for salarymen than tourists, but I watched several Japanese men get kicked out of the outdoor area right as I finished showering, so clearly there is a demand at that time of day. Maybe cleaning could be moved to 3am at close? Or immediately before opening? Seems very inefficient.
