The capsule size pod was just the right side for sleeping, and I liked how it had a little bench for items to store, a wall mirror and a safe box. The bed was comfortable to sleep in as well.
A mini fan could have been added

I wish I was staying longer here - I was only here for one night before flying back to London. Met some really lovely other solo travellers, very friendly and communal lounge areas allows you to easily chat with other travellers and a good atmosphere. The bed was actually comfortable and had a decent pillow - I’ve spent the last few weeks with the thinnest most uncomfortable hostel pillows, but this was a very comfortable stay.
There is a guest book that you can write in which I think is a really cute idea. Smoking area on the top floor which is a balcony overlooking Tokyo.
It’s a great location, 10 minute walk from senso-ji temple and easy access to trains to other parts of Tokyo. I also didn’t get lost trying to find it at all, it’s in a very straightforward location, nothing confusing.
The only thing I can think of it that the dorm was quite small and I didn’t have any space to open my large suitcase

The hostel was very clean and pretty full when i stayed. The location is great, just about a 10 minutes walk to Asakusa station.
I liked the roof terrace and the community kitchen on the top floor. There were 3 Shower rooms for men and one even had a bathtub!
CheckIn also was fairly simple.
During Check-In the receptionist insisted on taking a picture of my drivers license, which is not needed by law for Japanese and residents. She got upset when I challenged that. After inquiring online they apologized and said it is not mandatory and for residents okay to stay, no matter if they hav/show ID or not.
The mattress was pretty thin and not very comfy, also the capsule had only the curtain that did not properly close, so it was too much light for my taste.
Also it is loud, slight movements of anyone are easily transferred to other cabins. Even with considerate neighbours that might be problematic.

Good value for money and a great location. You can access both Asakusa line and the Metro. The staff is friendly and even though space is limited I was pleasantly surprised that you can leave your luggage at the reception before check-in.
The shower area was not very clean and there seemed to be a moldy smell. There is some storage in the rooms to put your baggage but not enough space to open them. I did make used of the packing table the day I left to reorganize my bag but most of my stay there it was used as storage by other guests.
