“The Hilton of Capsule Hotels, Affordable + Comfortable”

I've stayed in many capsule hotels before and can say this one is like a 5-star hotel compared to the rest. The price is medium for capsule hotel standard.

I've stayed in many capsule hotels before and can say this one is like a 5-star hotel compared to the rest. The price is medium for capsule hotel standard. It's not the cheapest but I've seen capsule hotels with double the price yet with so much worse condition. Location-wise it's convenient. The nearest Metro is Nagahoribashi st, there's a long underground passage called Crysta Nagahoribashi which has elevators to lead you to ground level, so you can conveniently drag your luggage here and choose the nearest elevator to the hotel. The male room is more expensive than female room. I think it's because the onsen (public bath) is for male only. The capsule is decent, with so many buttons (lights, alarm clock, etc) available next to you inside the capsule. The buttons are written in Japanese (I speak the language) only, so if you don't understand Japanese you might spend a while figuring out which one does which. There is TV and electric plug inside the capsule. There is a locker provided (with lock you can choose) for each guest that has pajama (yukata), slippers, towels (both big and face ones) and some amenities. The bathroom is great, they have nice and wide shower rooms, with amenities like toothbrush, face cream, cutips etc free of charge. My only complaints: - Wi-Fi sucks, don't even think about it, it's almost non-existent - You can't call the elevator from ground floor (imagine you just arrived with a big suitcase), you have to go to the reception floor and call the elevator to ground floor or tell the reception you carry suitcases

“Nice capsule hotel in Osaka”

Reasonable close to the city centre and the main shopping area. The B&C (Business and Capsule) Hotel can be found in between the two metro stations of Shinsaibashi and Matsuyamachi.

Reasonable close to the city centre and the main shopping area. The B&C (Business and Capsule) Hotel can be found in between the two metro stations of Shinsaibashi and Matsuyamachi. In fact, the two stations are connected by an underground mall that runs underneath the main road that the hotel is located on. Look at the other reviews for directions to the hotel. As I had arrived past 12pm (metro had stopped running), I walked from the Namba train station through the shopping and bar / lounge area to get to the hotel. There are 2 entrances to the hotel from both sides of the road (main and back alley road). The ground floor is the restaurant where breakfast is served and the lobby is located on the 2nd floor. It is a typical capsule hotel where you have to leave all your larger bags at the check in desk and only bring a smaller backpack / pouch up to the capsule floor with the individual lockers where you will find your robe, slippers & towel. The shower is also the typical men's squat shower with a communal hot tub / jacuzzi (which is nice to sit in after walking all over the city at the end of the day). The capsule itself is large enough to sit up in if you aren't over 1.8m tall. There is 10 or so free TV channels if you wish to watch some local entertainment before bed. Depending on who is occupying the neighbouring capsules, the snoring can be quite loud so it is best to bring ear plugs. There is a power point in the capsule to help charge up your devices for the next day. The wifi is only available in the lobby area though I got a So-Net data only 4G LTE SIM card from the Osaka Kansai airport vending maching (1GB for 3000 yen or 3GB for 5000 yen) which still worked in the capsule. There is also a spa in the hotel but I did not make use of the facilities there. The free toiletries and toothbrushes are handy if you forgot to bring something on your trip.

“利用者の立場に立ったサービス　A service for the guests”

地下鉄長堀橋駅から徒歩30秒、大通り沿いなので迷う心配はありません。 シングルルームを利用しましたが、カプセルルームもあるようです。 部屋の広さは必要充分です。部屋に浴室はありませんが、その分トイレが広くて快適です。 風呂は大浴場があるので問題ありません。サウナもあるので、ゆっくり楽しめます。 レストランもあるのですが、無料休憩所としても使えるようで、持ち込みOKらしいです。 支払いはクレジットカードが使えます。 チェックイン時にレストランで使える生ビール半額券がもらえるので、忘れずに使いましょう。 朝食も同じレストランで食べられます。食べ放題ではなく１人１プレートでサービスされます。 ... more

地下鉄長堀橋駅から徒歩30秒、大通り沿いなので迷う心配はありません。 シングルルームを利用しましたが、カプセルルームもあるようです。 部屋の広さは必要充分です。部屋に浴室はありませんが、その分トイレが広くて快適です。 風呂は大浴場があるので問題ありません。サウナもあるので、ゆっくり楽しめます。 レストランもあるのですが、無料休憩所としても使えるようで、持ち込みOKらしいです。 支払いはクレジットカードが使えます。 チェックイン時にレストランで使える生ビール半額券がもらえるので、忘れずに使いましょう。 朝食も同じレストランで食べられます。食べ放題ではなく１人１プレートでサービスされます。 和食と洋食から選べます。和食ならご飯と味噌汁はおかわりできます。 レストランでも部屋でも無料の無線LANでインターネット接続可能です。 You don't worry about to loose the direction from the station because the hotel locates beside the major street and the way from the nearest station Nagahori-bashi station of the Osaka City Subway is straight. I stayed in a single room. They have also the capsel rooms. The single room has enough for a person, and no bathroom except restroom. The restroom is larger than that of ordinary hotels. You can use the public bathroom in the hotel. There is a SAUNA room so that you can enjoy and relax. They have a IZAKAYA-style restaurant in the hotel. You can have your supper with a glass of beer. In addition to this, you can use the restaurant as a resting room with bring in drink or food by yourself. You will get a coupon ticket for beer half off, don't miss it! You can have a breakfast in the reastaurant, and choose Japanese or Western style. Although it's not a buffet style, you can get another bowl of rice and Miso-soup (or toasts, I guess). You can accsess the Internet via free WiFi service provided by the hotel in your room.

“Good capsule experience”

Really good! I had never done a capsule in Japan and always wanted to. First off, location. 5 minute walk from Shinsaibashi subway. I couldn't find exit 5 as suggested by others so asked, all good. Walk along the street parallel to the main street. Find Zara and and walk along the right side. ... more

Really good! I had never done a capsule in Japan and always wanted to. First off, location. 5 minute walk from Shinsaibashi subway. I couldn't find exit 5 as suggested by others so asked, all good. Walk along the street parallel to the main street. Find Zara and and walk along the right side. The name isn't in English but 'business and capsule' is written at the front. Need to go through a cafe to the second floor for the reception. Not much English from the staff but they try. Best to try to speak Japanese if you know any. They do have English print outs but mostly Japanese around the hotel. I stayed at on the women's capsule floor. Small lockers so I left my suit case at reception. Bathroom is amazing. Hair products, makeup cleaners, face cleanser and so on. Very nice. Wifi only on the 2nd floor but Internet computers on 3 floor too. Code for wifi needed. Nice place, mostly Japanese and very quiet
