Me and my girlfriend stayed here because we wanted the pod hotel experience while travelling in Japan. It was interesting, but not a proper Japanese pod hotel, more a tourist attraction. If your travelling on your own it will be a good way to save money but as a couple you can get a room for the same price.

I really liked staying at this hotel as it is cheap, clean, fun concept, great location and the staff are amazing. When I needed assistance looking for a Giesha performance and booking another hotel in a different city, the staff went out of their way to assist. Always smiling and polite. The cabins are clean, comfortable and modern. HOWEVER, be... More

I stayed at business cabin. It is clean as well with tv attached in the room. Little English explanation which may be a problem for non-Japanese.

This hotel is correct in many of its advertising. PIctures are accurate. Clean, helpful staff, good price and good location. BUT there was no mention that the cabins are without locks. True, they provide safes inside the cabin and the reception but that means you still have so much of your stuff exposed to anyone. Yes, they have video cameras.... More

So you don't want to spend your cash on a Hilton for a night's stay. You just want to have go out, drink beer, and snore out for a couple of hours. You are fed up of staying at a hostel and want some individual freedom. Or you want to take the Bullet Train early next morning. You like big... More

Staying in First Cabin Kyoto was a different experience to any other hotel I have stayed in before. Being one the first 'cabin' hotel you could expect it to be a little unorganised and completely overwhelmed by this new idea but that is not the case at all. The hotel is very much designed for one night only stays. The... More
