    “Clean and full-service”

    I stayed in the most reasonable capsule type. The staff were friendly and the front desk was clean. The amenities were available next to the front desk for guests to take as needed. When I visited, there weren't any noisy guests, so I was able to sleep in quietness. I was a bit anxious, thinking that my own movement might be echoing. There was also a small public bath, which had windows that could be opened, making it feel like a semi-outdoor bath, which was incredibly nice. Despite being a capsule hotel, it was truly well-equipped. The bath area, shower rooms, changing area, and restrooms, including the powder room, were all clean. Cleanliness is the best. In the lounge, there was water, coffee, and snacks. I was happy to be able to refill my water bottle before heading out. The location is at Marutamachi Horikawa, which is a bit away from the bustling area, and that might be a good thing. There were convenience stores and drugstores nearby. I would love to stay here again. The capsule room itself is compact. As a woman with a normal build of 155cm, I found it a bit narrow but just right. I wonder if the men's rooms are different in size.

    “Even though it's a capsule hotel”

    There was a shelf that served as a safe for valuables next to the bed, and the lights were bright yet soft, making for a comfortable stay. Above all, there was a large public bath, and in the lobby, there were plenty of drinks and frozen snacks to enjoy after a bath, making it a great deal. I was also grateful that the sheets were already laid out. Additionally, the location was good, with many nice shops nearby. Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Gyoen are also close by. I will use this place again.

    “Affordable accommodations in Kyoto.”

    The spacious capsule room is clean, comfortable, and safe. The reception staff is very nice. There are shower and onsen bath facilities. The common area offers ice cream and fresh coffee available at all times. The location is convenient for traveling by bus, with a supermarket across the street. It is also near Kyoto Palace. If I visit Kyoto again, I will definitely stay here.

    “First time at Caposel Hotel”

    This is the first time I have used this type of hotel. It feels more spacious than a capsule hotel. Since I will hardly be in the hotel while sightseeing in Kyoto, the minimal facilities are sufficient. A clean bed, a large public bath, free drinks, and a little snack. It's a good deal for this price. It's a bit of a downside that it's a little far from Kyoto Station. However, there are plenty of necessary shops and restaurants in the vicinity, so it's not inconvenient. There is a key at the entrance to the floor for women, so it's safe, and I would like to use it again.

    “Enriched services”

    ◆Good Points◆ - The shared areas of the facility are kept very clean (I used the outside hot springs, so I have not checked the indoor spa). - Most amenities are covered, allowing for a stay without any baggage. - Free tea, coffee, and snacks are provided. - They will also hold your luggage for free even after your stay. - There is a supermarket and a 100-yen shop right in front, making it convenient. - The city bus stop (Horikawa Marutamachi) is right in front. ◆Less Impressive Points◆ - Check-in is relatively late, starting at 5 PM. - It is somewhat far from the nearest subway station (Nijojo-mae) at about a 7-8 minute walk. Overall, I think the cost-performance is very good, and even those who are particular about cleanliness should have no issues staying here.
