Anshin Oyado Shinjuku Ekimaeten

The capsule hotel is about a block from the airport bus drop-off, train station and subway. It seemed that they were cleaning 24/7 so the facility was well maintained. The snacks (rice, rice/curry, miso soup) were fresh. The free drinks were always available, and they also had free alcohol between 5pm-3am. Residents were generally very quiet and all were respectful. The staff was kind and helpful. They had amenities on every floor. I wanted to try a capsule hotel and found it to be a pleasant experience. I thought it was very central located and within walking distance to some very nice shrines. Big shout-out to the staff Anshin Oyado!

Hotel is in a great location (can be seen from Shinjuku station if you take the correct exit) and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The capsule is bigger than most capsule hotels and there are plenty of ports for phones and chargers etc. The curry for breakfast was very good (two choices), and the free rice and miso soup as well as free drinks in the evening are a great touch.

Fantastic all around! Shame I lost a key for the shoe locker, I felt so bad! My only constructive criticism is that the elevator is very slow and in constant demand. I don’t think there is much anyone can do about that, I found myself using the stairs at the rear of the building. Too many people take the lift to level 2 - 3 when they can just walk!! So lazy!! I had a lovely time, no one bothered me, and the social environment was a nice option, peak season is not ideal if you want to meet Japanese people. It seems obvious to me now! Thank you for the comfortable stay!

Location was extremely central honestly is not hard to find if you come out the right gates of Shinjuku station - mind you, the station is ridiculously large. The entirety of the hotel is SPOTLESS. Freebies are incredible. Onsen is fantastic and they provide everything you need as far as toiletries and plenty of laundromats to do your laundry. As a solo traveller this was most definitely an amazing experience, also free booze (for a certain time slot) and curry, rices were delicious snacks! Internet was also fast and very good reception throughout the building. Security (badge access) pretty amazing. I dropped my key somewhere, and didn't realize until a few hours later, when I returned super stressed thinking I was going to get charged, or had my things taken = I walked in to find my key right on my locker and all my stuff was untouched. I honestly cannot thank the staff and the japanese culture enough but also my fellow travelers! Love to you all! Hotel also gave some umbrella covers and shoe cleaning and deodorizers - like crazy amount of amenities! Ruined all other capsule hotels for me forever as nothing has been anywhere near as good!

I have so much to say about this hostel. Firstly, it ain't a 1-star hotel for sure (it's at least 3-star in my opinion). Even though the price per night is higher than average, you absolutely get what you pay for. Unlimited alcohol from 5pm to 2am, unlimited Japanese rice with toppings for the entire day, unlimited coffee and soft drinks for the entire day, scrumptious curry rice for breakfasts, complimentary hot springs, sauna and every single kind of toiletries you can ever imagine, free pyjamas, free WiFi and tons of washing machines and dryers. On top of that, Shinjuku, the busiest train station in Japan, is within 30 seconds of you walking out of this hostel. Pretty damn insane for a capsule hotel.
