“This capsule hotel impressed with thoughtful extras, from readily available amenities at the front desk to unexpected luxuries like nose strips; plus, the inclusion of pajamas and slippers feels particularly generous. Shower facilities go beyond expectations, featuring multiple individual showers and even a private bathtub for an onsen-like experience, while the location right off Kawaramachi-dori puts you at the heart of it all. A standout choice for solo travel.”
