Very clean and the amenities were great! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to use the on site onsen with tattoos even though there’s a sign that says no tattoos, but I asked the staff and they insured me it was fine! Had a great stay!

You need to bear in mind that this is a capsule hotel designed for people who normally only stay a night or two. There’s a transient clientele who have their own needs such as late arrivals and very early starts which can be disruptive for your sleeping. The hotel is well placed for sightseeing and access to transport.

I reserved this hotel for my cousin, it was the first time she did an international solo trip. The property is near Nijo Castle which is close to the Nishiki Market, the downtown arcades and Heian Shrine. The capsules are wide, conveniently separate by gender and they are cleaned every three days. Within the common area you can have snacks, traditional drinks and water. The facilities include hot spring, hair dryer, washing machine and fast Wi-Fi connection. The staff is friendly, definitely a nice place for solo travelers. Highly recommended for women.

Out of all the places that I stayed during my trip to Japan, this one definitely stands out! It was the cleanest, most organized and just perfect in every way possible. I will recommend this place to everyone I know that plans on going to Japan someday.

This hotel was very clean. It was conveniently located for shopping and walking. The only negative that I had was that some of the residents were quite loud and disruptive at quiet time hours. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend bringing earplugs for sleeping.

I had a pleasant stay at First Cabin Nijojo. The location was excellent for transportation, making it convenient to explore the area. However, it felt somewhat crowded compared to my experience at First Cabin Roppongi in Tokyo, which I personally preferred. Despite this, the overall experience at First Cabin Nijojo was positive. I appreciate the service provided during my stay.

オープンして数日だったのもあり、とても綺麗でした。 初めてのファーストキャビンでしたが、顧客同士が音等に気を遣いながら泊まっているので、快適に過ごせました。 大浴場があったのも嬉しかったです。 アメニティも必要なものは一通り揃っているので、自分で持ち込まなくて済むのは助かります。 値段から考えても、かなりお得だと思いました。
