Capsule Hotel Anshin Oyado Akihabara

Firstly, the location. It is extremely convenient. The moment you exit the hotel and turn left, you will be in the main street of Akihabara. Next, the staff are extremely nice and helpful. I had asked for directions and they provided me with every single detail to ensure that I would not miss and buildings that I need to see in order to reach my destination. Then, the free miso soup and drinks in the lounge. I went there to chill for half an hour after my bath and it was nice to have something warm/cold to drink depending on your mood. Especially after a long day outside. The place is also very clean, and the staff makes it as comfortable as they can. Lastly, there are more toilet cubicles than any other hostels that I've been to. Capsule hotels and hostels are kinda the same and most of them only have a single toilet for the same number of occupants. That said, those are mixed genders and so they have to separate the toilets to male and female but since this hotel is strictly male all the toilets were devoted to the male guests.

The capsule is pretty small for me and I have an average build. The television is at an angle where I will hit my head 9 out of 10 times as I'm crawling into the bed to lie down. Also, when I booked there was supposed to be a discount but when I got there, the discount wasn't applied. Not sure whether it's booking.com's fault or their fault. The massage chair lounge closed after 8pm. That was the main reason why I had booked this hotel but honestly, who would return to the hotel before 9/10pm especially if you are here on holiday? It's a little on the expensive side as I averaged out to 6.4k yen a night. If I had booked earlier, I would probably be able to get a proper private room hotel for that price. The lack of stairs since I would prefer to use the stairs if I see both elevators going in the opposite direction from where I'm at.
