Tokyo Ariake Bay Hotel

It was very comfortable

Friendly staff and in a convenient location. My capsule was was a little hot because the fan inside the capsule was not very strong but otherwise everything was great.

cheap and great cozy place nearby Tokyo Big Sight.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, except in the mornings when some guests got up to prepare for their day. The hallway which leads to the capsules is connected to the bathroom area. There is a door to the bathroom area which, when not closed, allows sounds like the hairdriers, to transmit to the entire floor. Since the capsules are only closed by a roll-down bamboo shade, this was quite disturbing to those of us still sleeping. The hotel did provide free earplugs (toothbrushes/paste, disposable razors, slippers, pajamas, towels, too), but maybe they should make the door self-closing or add a sign to keep the door closed. The hotel is located in a corner of Tokyo (near a trash sorting facility) and requires a subway ride into the city (additional 390 Yen each way), but the neighborhood seemed safe enough. The capsules must be emptied every day for cleaning between 10AM and 4PM, but you can store your stuff in a provided locker during the day. Each capsule has a tv, fan, and safe. The staff was very friendly and they do speak English. Most of the guests appeared to be Japanese.

Rooms were clean, with black out curtains. No noise at all, very good for sound sleep. Good clean bathrooms and sufficient in number. In a 5 min walk from station, near by convenience store. But the AC vent towards my pod was not working which was a problem in summer, but on complaining staff did not took it very seriously. But apart from that it was overall comfortable stay. Recommended for solo or budget travelers.

Very easy to check in. Everything is new and very clean with bedclothes, slippers and toiletries available. The area didn't have much around, but there is a train station right across the street.

Convenient location, very near to convenience stores as well as train and bis stations. Great rates as well.
