Guesthouse Akasaka

Great place to rest up in a nice part of town

Some of the guests weren’t very nice but there’s nothing anyone does about that

快適すぎる

clean and well organized

• Good location - surrounded by lots of restaurants and bars, and being close to 4 subway lines means easy transportation to anywhere in the city • Modern-looking hotel with new amenities • Easy going in and out - there is no need to give keys whenever you leave or check in every day, unlike some other capsule hotels • There are 2 power outlets and adjustable lighting in each capsule. This is fairly standard, but it’s still good and worth noting.

• The vast majority of the people staying here are foreign tourists, who can be unfamiliar with the customs and quite inconsiderate. • There are often people talking, moving things around, getting dressed, eating, etc. until 11PM or 12AM. I stayed here for 2 weeks, but most nights I wasn’t able to fall asleep until around midnight because of people being too loud. • The hotel itself is very small and there is no soundproofing, so you can hear pretty much everything. The break area says to only use the space from 8AM-10PM, but you can hear everyone while they’re in their rooms anyway, so it’s pointless. • In addition to being noisy inside, it can get noisy outside as well on weekends and holidays. There are a lot of bars and clubs in the area which means a lot of rowdy people. • As is the case with most cheaper hostels and capsule hotels, there is no way to lock your luggage; there’s always the risk of your belongings or your suitcase being stolen, however unlikely. • Staff are only on the premises during the daytime and early evening. Nobody is in overnight. • Staff do not speak fluent English, so if you need to ask any complicated questions or advice, you might have trouble. • Lights in the hotel stay on at full brightness overnight. The curtain for each room blocks most of it, but if you’re someone who requires absolute darkness to sleep, you might have trouble. • No washer or dryer means no way to do your laundry. There is a coin laundry a couple of blocks away, but it’s a chore bringing things back and forth.
