    I liked my accomodation. It was my first staying in a capsule hotel and it was quite spacious, very clean and quiet. The space wasn't that thin, like you would expect from a those type of place. I felt safe. Also you could leave the luggage on next day and near my space there was a space with locks for big suitcases. I recommend!

    Very much a business/student hostel. Mostly students I found staying there which is fine but if your looking for the backpacking atmosphere this isn’t it, the common room is dead silent.

    Great location being right next to the station. Good common room. Good hostel capsule and amenities.

    Family of 4 adults in a quad room. Clean, cozy, quiet…but all of the other three rooms around us were empty. That helped with bathroom too.

    The mattress was too thin, but not a big deal. Also, my capsule had some squeaky spots, making it quite loud when moving around

    Very clean and spacious capsule, with locker inside of it. There’s just a magnetic piece of fabric that serves as the capsule door, but it was quite empty and quiet so no problems sleeping. Location is very good, just outside himeji JR station at the upper floors of a quite old building. There’s also a coworking space with a conference room available

    Matress was thin, a bit uncomfortable. Having pods above means that you hear a lot of noise from people moving around in their sleep and putting things in their lockers.

    Very good supporting facilities. You have free water/coffee / cappuccino. Room for working, taking phone calls, have meetings, microwave, TV. Then pod itself is spacious, with a good sized locker and a TV. They have a "parking area" with chain locker for trolleys. Shower and toilets were also very good. Shower has a small cabin so you can get changed. A few steps from Himeji train and bus station.

    Capsules were too warm, needed better ventilation. (There was a fan, which I used even though it was a little noisy, but it didn’t do much.) Would also be nice to have some signs indicating to be quiet in the capsule area because a few guests definitely didn’t know that…

    Modern and clean capsules right next to Himeji station. The hotel is on the upper floors of the building with an unassuming entrance, but has a very large lounge area (with free tea, coffee, cocoa etc) on the floor below the rooms. The building looks old but the inside is clean and new. Lots of showers and toilets so you’re never waiting, and the rooms themselves are really nice. Small storage lockers for your valuables are inside the capsule, alongside a tv and some shelves, but if you have a larger bag or backpack then you need to chain it up in the luggage area (no lockers, but plenty of chains and padlocks for your use.)

    It was warm in the capsule itself during the night, even with the fan, which didn't do much. The futon was also a little thin for my liking, but it wasn't too bad.

    Easy to find and really close to the station (about a 5min walk at most). Hotel seemed very new or newly renovated. Very clean and spacious with all the amneities you need, including extra space for changing and storing big suitcases.it also has a powder room for getting ready. One of the best capsule hotels that i've stayed at with many capsules available. The space of the capsule is comfortable with a locker big enough to put your valuables and a backpack. There is also a big mirror behind the door of the locker.

    - Layout of the hostel is impressive and well thought out. They really put their customers comfort first. - Free slippers, shower needs, coffee for breakfast, they have coin laundry inside in case you need to wash your clothes. - Location is good, near Himeji station and around 15mins walk from Himeji castle. - Staffs were nice and very accommodating. - Cozy space

    It was a bit confusing locating the building, but easy once I worked out it was inside the building and reception was on the 7th floor.

    APODS is very conveniently located right in front of the train station. I could leave my luggage and immediately walk over to Himeji castle without a fuss. The appearance of the building is very unassuming, but the hostel is very clean and modern, with great facilities and amenities provided. Very worthwhile accommodation on a budget!

    Great location right next to station and near the castle. Room was comfy. As it’s like a hostel though we had a room to ourselves with 4 bunk beds so there was no lock on the door. The walls are also very thin and you can hear other people having conversations and we were woken up in the night by it.

    The fried chicken smell that comes from the restaurant one floor below.

    Shower and powder room facilities were nice. Happy they offered some necessary amenities like toothbrush...etc. Best part is the very cozy and well-designed co-working space downstairs. It has several seat and desk/table options and coffee,tea..and some a few other drinks are offered from machine as well.

    As a capsule hotel, couldn’t have asked for more. Clean, plenty of shower and bathroom facilities, and the wifi was good.

    The beds are a bit hard and have quite some loose bits of black fluff. Not terrible, but just not perfect.

    It was literally around the corner from the station, very convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. Towels, loungewear, slippers and a toothbrush are included. There is shampoo and soap available too. There is space to lock your suitcase, but it's still accessible if it doesn't have a lock. There's a small locker inside your capsule which fitted my winter jacket and my backpack. There's also a TV and small table inside. The light inside the capsule is adjustable in brightness. Overall really nice!
