MANGA ART HOTEL, TOKYO

It was conveniently located near the train line and close to a lot of businesses. Easy to walk or get where you're going. Very affordable with lots of reading options, as their supply has Manga in Japanese and English. Coin lockers close by, and a laundromat in the area as well; they give good details on where to locate them in the Rules/Welcome guide at the front.

I used the Booking(dot)com App to reserve my spot and the business messaged me rather late (2200) saying they needed immediate payment. So I lost a bit of sleep on that, as I wanted to make sure they got paid and was worried about losing my reservation if it didn't go through. Also, they could have an area to sort and organize luggage; I was kind of embarrassed by having to zip, and unzip my bags while people were around me. Last, please invest in air conditioning, as those bed got HOT at night. The little fan was okay, but I had to keep it next to me while I slept.

There was a lot of manga to read. There were English and Japanese volumes, I wish I could have spent more time there to read more manga. The beds are spacious and there is a safe for you to keep your things. The hotel is very close to Akihabara, only a 10 minute walk.

If you want to look for different manga, you have to go to a different floor, but I found plenty of manga to read so I didn`t look at the other floor.

First time in a capsule hotel, which we really enjoyed! As female travelers we were much more comfortable staying on a women only floor. There is a keypad to enter the women's dorm, which I think works well if guests remember to firmly shut it. This stay largely involves shared spaces and relies on etiquette to respect each others spaces' and speaking volume, which we had a good experience with. Everyone was pretty nice and kept to themselves. The space was clean and the beds were fairly comfortable for what they were. I thought it was a nice touch that the bunks had dimming options for your individual bunk lights and a privacy curtain. There's also a small patio to read outside and look over the city, which was cute! There's also some lounging chairs to sit outside of your bunk and read.

A little more volumes translated in English would have been nice, but not at all a con to staying here! They had a decent English collection and it was exciting to translate and look at original Japanese volumes. Check-in was slightly confusing with the posted signage, as it involved connecting to a staff member via video for check-in confirmation in the front room to the floor, but we figured it out and got in fairly easily. Storage space under the bunks was decently sized, but we packed minimal luggage (1 carry-on and 1 suitcase each) so definitely keep that in mind.

I loved the selection of manga on the girls floor, I wish I could’ve stayed more to read. The bed was comfy and I had some space under my bed to store my luggage. The location was great, very close to the Kanda JR station or the Ochanomizu JR station, very easy to move around, the Chiyoda neighborhood is very chill and quiet, there are also quite a few restaurants around opened until 22-23. There is a 7-Eleven and Ministop right across the building. There is also a balcony in the room, is very nice to stay there and chill. Towels and amenities are included.

The check in was a made through a tablet but went ok. There were no microwave to warm up things. Maybe for the people who had upper beds was a bit difficult to climb and come down.

Convenient check-in, good manga selection (small but good English selection!). Each pod had an dimmable ceiling light, a small fan, and a free outlet (great for charging your electronics). Fantastic bathroom amenities.

More communal space would have been nice. Was disappointed to find out there is no longer a shared lounge floor for opposite genders to hang out together. Be aware that if you choose a top bunk, you may have to search a little for your assigned storage space (for bigger luggage). Unfortunately, I had to take another pod's storage space as someone else's bag was occupying mine.

The location is nice for exploring Tokyo. It's about a 10 minute walk to several metro and train stations. The bed was comfy and was a joy to come back to at the end of a long day adventuring. They provide pretty much everything you need with bathroom toiletries and even have earplugs if another guest is being loud. There are also western-style showers too. In some other capsule hotels, the showers are communal.

When I stayed, the general area could've used a sweeping or vacuuming, but the pods where I slept were clean and tidy. Also, they don't change the sheets regularly, but I now know this is typical of capsule hotels. So, take your showers at night if you want to keep your sheets clean on a consecutive nights stay.

The space is very cute. The bed was comfortable and had a good comforter. Showers and bathrooms were all very clean and tidy. Check in was easy and there are many amenities nearby such as Lawson's 7/11 cafe's etc. there are a few subway entrances nearby also.

The hotel is above a live music venue so there was considerable noise in the evening coming from below. There is only a very small are available to eat and so if two others are eating you would need to wait.

All the amazing manga and clean facilities. Take the Ogawamachi station exit B7 (it will take you to the front of the hostel, but it is all stairs so you'll have to carry your luggage). Also on the corner at the lights/main intersection there is an amazing Taiyaki and traditional Japanese donut place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The hostel is in a very quiet location (business CBD). There is nothing around at night unless you take the train out. Very peaceful but not in the middle of all the fun. No restaurants around, a few convenient stores. Good for 1 night, abit boring if anymore nights.

Location was great. Close to everything necessary and lots of sights to see. The manga selection exceeded my expectations. Very aesthetic and comfortable. Even a balcony was available. The bed was very comfortable and even fit for me, despite most beds usually being too short. I did not have problems with light seeping in to my room, I was able to adjust the curtain just fine. Bathroom facilities were beyond adequate. Windows had a nice view. Heat was not a problem, there was even a small fan in the room just in case, which did appreciate.

My room was a bit smelly, which I did get used to eventually, but it was not pleasant. The check-in system through Skype was unnecessarily tedious. Lightning was a problem when showing documents to the camera. The speakers were not very clear, though the staff had good English and Japanese. The thermometer that was supposed to be used was out of battery, but the staff did not make that my problem. Otherwise the reception was smooth enough.

It's an awesome place, looks a bit bigger on the pictures. The facilities were nice and usable and the bed itself was comfortable. There is a good mix of english and Japanese Manga often found right next to each other. I had some trouble checking in but the staff tried to help me the best they could. The pillow was incredible!

I didn,t appreciate the hallway lights Always being on, I could not open my curtain even slightly to get some fresh air without waking up from the bright lights outside and I would recommend turning them off at around 23:00 or at least dimming them. Another slight disappointment is that when I arrived, someone had been staying in the bed allocated to me. Now this isn't too big a problem and I contacted the staff (through skype) right away. They promised me someone would come clean it right that day, which I found out later wasn't possible. This made me contact them again, and it took me multiple hours to finally get them to just allocate me an empty new bed. I understand it's not their fault, but next time this happens, I recommend to just immediately allocate another bed.
