The inn is opposite the large white building, and more specifically, opposite a stautue of a nude female. You will see a staircase curving upwards, the lift is just behind that.
Is not a bad thing to do, but bring some ear-plugs. The bathing is better than expected.

Surprisingly, space was not a problem even though I'm 1.91 tall. The hassle was being kicked out at 10am every day (even if you are staying the following night) until 3pm. Staff speak little English , except one of them who is fluent. Excellent location

Loved the public bath and sauna. Wasn't a fan of the smoking areas, especially when there's nothing preventing the smoke from accessing the sleeping quarters. Would highly recommend anyone using this hotel to travel lightly: one laptop sized satchel which you may keep in your locker and one duffel bag to store in their baggage area. A few blocks hike from Shinjuku station is a definite plus. Men only; there's a sign denying admission to those with tattoos.

The capsule hotel is clean, but more expensive than other hostels, is men only, only has share baths, employs a ridiculous key/locker system that means you have to swap keys with reception every time you want to leave (frustrating), staff speak next to no english, and has hustlers lurking right outside the front door on weekends. At least there was no curfew. I didn't want to stay longer than one night.

The hotel was okay, I´d be happy to stay there again. Amongst the bright lights it´s a little hard to find. The staff weren´t the brightest, they kept getting my key number wrong.
I didn´t store my large travel bag there, so I don´t know how good their bag security is.

This place is pretty much in the dead middle of things in the way-too-crazy Shinjuku district. I'm not sure we would have really even found it as soon as we did if it weren't for a seemingly random Indian guy on the street asking us if we were looking for the capsule hotel. The staff is nice enough but they have a sign that claims "no entry with tattoos". I have a half-sleeve and managed to cover it but was worried that I'd get kicked out in if spotted in the public showering area. I'm guessing

At the begining it was hard to understand the codes of the place, the second time it was much easier, the experience of sleeping in a capsule is just great, but what I enjoyed more was the sauna.
About the staff, the men are much more friendly than the women, they dont speak enough english and it can be problematic to leave your bags there after you chekc out.
The hotel can be hard to find but I show the address to the Information desk peorple, at the Shinkuku station, and they showed it to

Really tricky - shoes in a box out front, small bag in a locker and big bags behind the reception. Otherwise, quite an experience!!
