First time in a capsule hotel
This was my first time in a capsule hotel. I really like the concept but would have slept better if the pillow was not that hard. I realise that all hotels un Tokyo where I stayed have hard pillows. Most of the friends travelling with me found the mattress hard as well but I did not have an issue with that since my home mattress is hard. I would avoid this hotel if you have issue with hard pillows ans mattress. Othewise, this is a really good Choice for a very cheap price. Hotel is well located, close to a 7/11 and metro station. The Bizz Tower that is close by has good food options for vegetarian like me. The only thing that I found was missing in the hotel is a place to sort your things from your bags/suitcase. You dont have much space to do so at your lockers.

A great stay, I slept very well during my stay. I didn’t go for the sleep report, I heard people complain that there was beeping going off in their pods, I think this was for the sleep report, glad I didn’t chose it! The lockers are quite narrow so if you’re bringing a large suitcase, be sure to have a smaller bag to store clothing and everything you need for your stay. Staff are lovely and very polite, easy to communicate with even if you’ve struggled to learn Japanese! The hotel is busy but this didn’t impact on my stay and it still felt quiet. I’m staying again at another 9h Nine Hours for the rest of my stay, as the pods somewhat force you to get out exploring as you’re not really supposed to lounge around, great for making the most of your time in Tokyo!

Check in was very easy even as a customer unable to speak Japanese. I showed my Expedia booking and passport and given keycards and a rules guideline. Locker room/bathrooms/showers accessed via the elevator to base floor (men). It is well maintained and organized. On my last day someone had carelessly damaged one of the shower head handles, but it was still working fine. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided in each private shower. You are given sleeping clothes and indoor slippers. The locker room area is where you will be taking out/reorganizing your clothes and can get a bit congested at certain hours, but a bit of manners and consideration goes a long way. The capsules are large and a good size for me (5ft8) and my brother (5ft11) had no complaints as well. Some guests were more considerate of others sleeping during the night, so your experience will vary depending on your peers that enjoy the stay with you during your time at 9h. At the time I visited (checked out may 2nd), luggage delivery was not offered. Very happy with my stay with helpful and patient staff. Thank you for the hospitality!

Showers were subpar but everything else was clean and orderly. Pods were larger than we expected. Sleep report was a fun add. Internet was reliable. Lounge is tiny. Agree with previous comments that experience with front desk staff is inconsistent - definitley poor communication and disorder there. Overall, we agreed it was fun to try but would not do the experience again. Great option for those on a budget though!

This was awful. Rules are clearly stated at check in, but it's not respected by guests. Collectively had about 2 hours sleep due to the constant door open and closing, slippers scuttling by and conversations between drunk friends using it as a backpackers stay. The showers were so mouldy you would feel cleaner staying unwashed. Never again

I didn't realize until check in that everyday between 10-2pm you fully have to check out and are not allowed to use your bed or locker during that time. Only the lobby seemed open. So it was pretty inconvenient to have to pack and repack my bags multiple times. Also since the lockers are in the basement its just a lot of moving around and didn't feel relaxing. But it was super cheap and if you only need 1 night and want to experience a pod its an option. I wish i tried other pods while in Japan though. This was a last minute accomodation.

This location does not have a microwave. While I recognize the price I paid for the visit, it is extremely unfortunate that they lack even the most basic amenities. I would reconsider another capsule hotel, if possible.
