Find 2-Star Hotels in Tokyo

Traveling solo to Tokyo, I'd never stayed in a hostel or capsule hotel before. But with Tokyo's high prices, I ended up choosing this Mystay after a lot of comparison. I figured after years in student dorms, there wasn't much I couldn't handle. It was actually better than I expected. The design with the bed on top and luggage storage underneath is great, much better than bunk beds for easily accessing your belongings. However, it's a double-edged sword; some guests rummaging through their bags in the middle of the night can disturb your sleep. The bed was comfortable, and perhaps the relatively narrow, enclosed space gives a sense of security. Though, looking at the ceiling's shape, it does make you wonder if it's suitable for an eternal rest... During my stay, I noticed groups of Korean and Western travelers who would chat loudly and comfortably in the common area, often forgetting it's a shared space that requires quiet. Personally, I find the sound of people tidying up acceptable, but I can't stand loud conversations. It feels disrespectful, and those guests seem too self-absorbed. I suggest the hotel should emphasize the need for quiet in common areas to groups traveling together. The downsides regarding facilities are that the fan only provides ventilation and isn't very effective; it also can't regulate temperature, so it often got too hot to sleep at night. Also, the duvet insert constantly came out of its cover. While the hotel surely washes these regularly, it didn't feel very clean. I hope they can secure the duvet cover with ties or clips. Overall, it's still quite good. If the average price were around 200 RMB per night, it would be excellent. However, I paid nearly 600 RMB for one night, which made it incredibly poor value for money.

This hotel is super close to Akihabara JR Station, making it incredibly convenient for getting to Tokyo Station or even Narita Airport. The cleanliness was surprisingly good; they provide slippers, pajamas, towels, toothbrushes, and communal toiletries. Plus, hairdryers and curling irons are all available. The sleeping area at night was really quiet, and everyone was very polite. The staff's attitude was excellent, and you can store your luggage in lockers on the same floor. There's also hot water in the communal lounge area. Overall, it's very friendly for solo female travelers without too much luggage – clean, safe, and great value for money!

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.

Four of us shared a room, and we were all very considerate, so there was no noise. The room was clean and tidy. The front desk service was excellent. Breakfast was a bit simple, but the location was fantastic, and they even offer luggage storage!

This hotel is conveniently located near Ueno Station. As it's a capsule hotel, there might be some inconveniences, but it's well-maintained. The hot spring is a definite plus.

Last time the bath was too hot to use, but this time the temperature was just right and very enjoyable. I'm very satisfied! The food was average. The price was also very affordable and excellent. I'd love to stay again.

The bathroom and toilet are extremely inconvenient. There's no space to move around, and the shower is right inside the toilet area. The toilet is also directly in the room, so everything happening in there is very audible, and then some. Overall, it's just uncomfortable. The room was cold, and the air conditioner was very noisy and dried out the air. No matter how you adjust it, it will blow directly on you. Overall, it's a very old hotel, although they do maintain cleanliness. It has a Japanese style. I wouldn't stay here again, but the location is excellent. If there are no other options, I would recommend it.

I checked in the night before CM107 Day 2. For just over 100 per night, and with its super convenient location for taking the Seagull to Odaiba (or the Monorail to the airport), the price is definitely unbeatable. The subway Daimon Station is right downstairs, along with convenience stores. Staff service made check-in easy. The bed was quite firm, which I actually found comfortable after not sleeping well on soft beds the previous two nights. There's a light inside the capsule, but only one two-pin socket, which was a bit insufficient.

Well, you get what you paid. I don’t usually write bad reviews so I’m a bit afraid. But if the owner have fixed all the problems I experienced then they can reply and new customer can make better informed decision I guess. There are no lock. So if you are a female traveler that hope to be safe in a female only room, don’t! It’s just a silly clear plastic door that separate the female room from the kitchen. And make the matter worse, the main door was not lock as well….I hope they fix the lock soon. They chose convenient over safety at the moment. Any stranger can barge in. They have nice kitchen area. There is one toilet and one bathroom, the toilet is clean. During my stay the guest that already there are very loud even though it’s after 11pm. I think they should stress the rule about noise at late night more. The location is convenient but it’s in the pub area. And next building is karaoke room. They sang until 5 am. Well, not all have a problem with noise during sleep. So pick your choice. The bed area in female dormitory is clean. But in terms of privacy and tidiness, no. They should really tidy up the window next to bed No.6 it looks like a refugee camp from what I saw. I didn’t assume all people there are long term stay but I don’t know 🤷♀️ The curtain was put on badly for the upper bed next to window, and it happened to be my bed. I have less privacy than the below bed and bed was made out of cheap metal so they move when the other move, which is fine for me but keep that in mine before you go. What worst in the bed area is the people that’s already there before me. They have the audacity to open my curtain and peek at me. I think the price attract weird people with no manners (maybe I have no manners too?) 🤷♀️ Any how, what I want to say is: Perfect area for shopping and find food and very close to the station. Good kitchen. Clean toilet. ⚠️No lock, unsafe. No privacy because poor bunk bed curtains. 🤑And you might be able to find a better hotel with your own tiny room with roughly same price the next day. So good luck!

The condition is better than I expected, it's easy to get to Asakusa, and you can walk to the subway in less than 5 minutes. There are many restaurants nearby and convenience stores such as Lawson, Family Mart, and 7-Eleven are located within 5 minutes. First of all, the private bathroom is not in the room. It's outside. We used the second floor and were in rooms 201 and 202. If there are two rooms, there are two toilets and two bathrooms outside, which are used exclusively for the room. I don't have any pictures, so I'll just post a picture of the bathroom. It was nice that each item was separate. There aren't any downsides, but the owner was a bit harsh but not unfriendly. Still, I had a good stay. For 3 nights and 4 days And one thing is that the door is locked after 12 o'clock!!! Please note this! Have a nice trip to Japan everyone😆
