The TV-shaped capsules with individual TV&'s, phone and clock-radios must have been cool 30 years ago. completely out of date by now

With a price of capsule bed at 2000 yen, this is probably one of cheaper accomodation selections in Tokyo. And there is no miracle: you get what you paid for (or, rather, you don&'t what you didn&'t! ). The location of the hotel is superb, with literally a 1 minute walk to the Asakusa station, and perhaps 2 mins to Kaminari-mon and surrounding shopping area. However, as far as the interior goes, the capsule part (I stayed in) is an old one, not really welcoming. The capsules are old, asking for replacement, with Japanese-only controls. Shower facilities are clean, but they are by far the cleanest part of the hotel. Lockers accessible for each capsule (do not expect to fit your backpack there, though). Overall, outstanding for one night or so, yet not a place you&'d dream to come back to. And, by the way, definitely *not* a outstanding choice for your first expertise of a capsule hotel.

Good location very close to the subway, small but clean rooms. Capsules are just like dorm beds with a bit more privacy. For this price, it would be hard to beat. Doors don't really close in the rooms, so there is a chance of having things stolen, but it feels safe. There are narrow lockers for smaller bags and valuables in the rooms.

Not very clean. Ok if you just wish to sleep and leave quickly in the morning.

Kawase is a outstanding deal for travellers. It had a outstanding location, was clean and there was no curfew. If you are looking for deluxe this is not for you, but if your a traveller looking for good value and somewhere decent to sleep this is a outstanding place.
