2-Star Hotels in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

It was funny to see a bunk bed hostel in such an expensive area like Myeongdong or Garosu-gil, but the facilities were clean and nice. There were some issues, like narrow passageways and steep stairs, but there's no place in this expensive neighborhood or strategically located in Yokohama that offers that kind of price.

15 min drive from Haneda airport, spending 2730 yen for Uber at midnight 2am. The hotel provided self checking for late night arrival. Got microwave and vending machine at ground floor. No lift so we have to carry luggage by stair.Room space is small and not allow full open of 50:50 28 inch luggage. Bed is comfortable.

This guesthouse was incredibly cozy and felt just like home. At check-in, they carefully explained everything I needed to know. I stayed in the women's-only dormitory room, which I believe was a 6-person room with three bunk beds. I had the bottom bunk. There were no locks, but there were sturdy curtains for privacy. Even though it was a cold day, the room was warm, and having a light above the bed made for a comfortable stay. Everyone seemed to be considerate and kept quiet. Eating and drinking weren't allowed on the bed, but it wasn't an issue as the ground floor had a cozy cafe (pictured) where you could relax freely. I read a bit in bed and then slept soundly. When I mentioned at check-out that I was visiting Enoshima, they told me about taking a boat, which made my trip much more enjoyable than planned. Luggage storage after check-out was also cheaper than using a locker, and I enjoyed the interaction. I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance. Shared rooms are very affordable and highly recommended for solo travelers.

I'm glad I was tired because I was able to stay cheaply and was taken to the bathtub. I was grateful for the curry and a drink service. I want to use it again when I go to Yokohama.

This is not a true capsule hotel: the beds are only separated with curtains, not doors. This means that you can hear everyone else in the room, and that there is no secure place to leave your things when you go the shower or leave your space for a bit. (The only lockers are all the way on the ground floor, in the lobby, and they are tiny--much too small for a suitcase or even a large backpack.) So this feels much more like a youth hostel than an actual capsule hotel. If the beds had doors that could be locked, I would give this place an excellent review. On the positive side, it was kept very clean (given the number of people staying there), and it's very close to the train station and to Chinatown.

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 at the front desk. Also, your locker key has a QR code attached, so that you can scan to enter the capsule, locker, and shower areas. I kept forgetting to walk with it just going to the locker room, which you need the QR code to access! Thankfully, other guests would open the door for me since we shared the same space. One thing to note is the cleaning time between 11 AM and 3 PM: the capsules are unusable since they change the sheets, make the beds, etc., so it's best to be out in the city exploring or down in the lobby. Any bottles you leave in front of your capsule might be considered trash when they clean, so if you want to keep your drinks, keep them in the locker. If you have several personal items on your bed inside the capsule, depending on what it is, they may not enter to change the bedding, etc. so keep that in mind. They also provide sleepwear, disposable toothbrush and mini toothpaste, bath and hand/face towels in a small bag that they replace each day! There are proper places to return used sleepwear and towels (large laundry bags are clearly marked), same with trash disposal. There is a shower area with separate stalls. Many people tend to shower at night, so if you don't want to wait, it's best to shower before the cleaning time in the morning, or before 10 PM. Some girls would shower (and sometimes wash their hair), so it's common for many people to be in the showers late at night, even after midnight! Thankfully, there are small couches in this area, so no need to stand and wait. Also, the lockers are a bit tiny and narrow (see pic with disposable slippers), but I assume they are the standard for capsule hotels. They are the main storage for small items; luggage (like suitcases) is stored in an adjacent room. All in all, I would stay there again! Very close to Yokohama station, there are several restaurants, a few Family Marts and a Lawson's are within walking distance, as well as a mall called VIVRE with about 8 floors to browse.

It is on 4th & 5th floor . No elevator. Dorm style with private tatami bedrooms with windows and ac. Each floor has 34 units, 3-5 toilets, one shower, one simple kitchen. Male bathroom has bad smell because no automatic flush system was installed for urinals. I recommend it for tourists from less developed countries. In western style, it is of sevic level of motel 6 Reception room is across the street. They provide luggage storage for free.

Because our itinerary for the second day was quite impromptu, we decided to stay in a city in between. As expected, the business hotel was clean, tidy, and convenient. The shower facilities were also good, and it was very close to the station. Breakfast was provided in the morning. The hotel staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful, and communication was pleasant. It was a very good choice for an overnight stay.

There was no counter service when I checked in, only instructions in the envelope. I only received an email after I checked out asking me to fill in basic check-in information. What I am dissatisfied with is that the instructions in the envelope can use a highlighter or blue pen to clearly mark the parts that need to be filled in, and include a pen for filling in the information, so that people who are not familiar with the process and foreign languages ​​can immediately understand that this document must be filled out. The email that contacted me to fill in the information afterwards did not tell me which platform to use to reply correctly. This forced me to sacrifice a lot of extra time to study on top of my busy schedule, and I didn't even know if my information had been submitted correctly. All these inconsiderate and rude services made me waste a lot of time after checking out, and I felt very unhappy about it.

Good for solo travelers. Everything is self-service, so there is very little staff service. However it's fair enough since it's so cheap.
