First Cabin Kyoto Nijojo Reviews

My son and I spent a week in Japan from America and wanted to experience a night in a capsule hotel and this one did not disappoint. Clean, friendly and all the amenities you need. If you stay on the men's floor, just be sure to bring rear plugs because there is no protection from others that snore, but that's not the hotels fault.

Loved the capsule I booked and really loved the onsen. Plenty of amenities to use and free coffee/tea/water in the lobby. Would definitely go back there again.

Amazing place, always clean and tidy. There is a snack bar, café and tea available at the living room area. Staff is also very kind.

The best capsule hostel I've ever been to. It has absolutely everything for a comfortable stay. From cotton swabs, headphones to free snacks and special uniforms. Whatever you're looking for, it's here. The staff are professionals in their field. The service is like a hotel. It's a pleasure to stay. I recommend it!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is very clean, cleaned regularly, and everything is checked. There's a small hot tub – nice for relaxing in the evenings. I thought two showers were a bit too few, but I was lucky and always had one free. In addition to the usual things like shampoo and shower gel, facial cleanser, curling irons, etc. are also provided. There's a coin-operated machine for washing and/or drying. The lights can be dimmed. The Japanese toilets are great. Sure, it's not completely silent, but it's a hostel after all. Just put in some earplugs. The bus is a 2-minute walk away. The metro is about a 10-15-minute walk away. I highly recommend the hostel! Thank you for your hospitality! *Note: There are three options; I had the middle one. There's also a larger version with a table or mini living room. There's also a lower version.

For all the hotel's many advantages, there is one downside - the low (for me) temperature in the sleeping area (around +21). A thin blanket. Even under two blankets and a warm coat on top, I was cold to sleep.

It is suitable for those who travel for a short time (1-2 nights) and save money because the rooms are not designed for long-term stays and are not soundproofed. The staff is enthusiastic, the cleanliness is good, and the location is close to famous attractions.

It is very convenient to take the bus from Kyoto Station. It is clean, hygienic and quiet. There is a large fresh food supermarket opposite, where you can buy dinner (including raw seafood sashimi). Diagonally opposite is the World Heritage "Nijo Castle".

The staff were very friendly and the room was very nice ＞＜

The room was very clean. The coin laundry was a new, lockable drum type, so I was able to do my laundry without worry.

The building was clean and quiet. The free coffee was delicious.

Disadvantages: Far from the subway station, poor sound insulation, woke up every morning, only two bathrooms for men, need to wait during peak hours Pros: Good facilities, drinking water, smoking room, coffee, tea and drinks, lounge on the first floor, although the subway station is far away, but the bus station is close

The quilt and bed were very damp and cold. It was so cold that I couldn't sleep deeply at night. At 5 a.m., I couldn't stand it anymore and went to get two quilts. I barely fell asleep, but the wet bed and quilt made my legs hurt. I caught a cold the next day and now I have a fever🤒️…
