Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hollywood - Caters to Men

The only good thing is the location. It's a short walk from the station. And maybe the Sauna and private pool-thing, if location and that is your thing. Oh, and it's cheap. Despite the first encounter with the luggage handling, staff was friendly and helpful.

The whole second floor (where the reception is located) smells after smoke (cigarettes), not very welcoming. When I contacted them via booking.com, they agreed in advance that I can store my luggage before check-in time, bigger luggage = 150JPY, which is totally fine. When I arrived, the staff didn't get it that I'm staying two nights. So, he was asking for paying for not only 2 storage days, but also for both of my luggages (one big and one small/medium), eventhough he found my reservation. So, it's either that he was confused / nervous, because I was speaking English (and he barely didn't, which is forgivable) or it's so uncommon in their capsule hostel to bring your luggage up to the dorm room. However, after a short discussion, he got it and then he gave me a small locker (free of charge) for the medium sized luggage and charged me the big backpack only (for 1 day). Be aware that this hostel doesn't let you bring any foods or drinks inside their rooms (incl. shared area). This hostel also requires from you to wear something like a bathrobe, before you go upstairs to your capsule or to the shared area. You are not supposed to go up with your standard clothes. And probably you are not supposed to bring up your luggage (as mentioned before) - I was the only one with a backpack upstairs. Be aware, that at 09:30, there is an annoucement in Japanese (probably saying good morning and they have to clean all capsules). The employee there was friendly though, and I told him it's not necessary for my capsule. I left after one night, because all of this wasn't too conventient and comfortable as I thought and I also changed my schedule. Don't get me wrong. The staff was friendly and trying to understand and assist. But that bathrobe thing and cigarettes smelling on 2nd floor weren't appealing to me. Also the luggage handling could have been dealt better.
