UENO STATION HOSTEL ORIENTAL3 - Cater to Men

Not bad at all for the price. Maybe it needs a refurbishment but it is VERY cheap, so wasn't bothered. Coming from a country with a public smoking ban, I found the smell of cigarette smoke hard to escape, but generally but a good night's sleep was had.

Cheapest price ever. Great for the price. Don't get this hotel mixed up with the Sauna and Century Capsule Hotel around the corner. Some english spoken here. There is no elevator, so if you are on the 7th floor, you are in for some work!

Problem I had was only with the cigarette smoke. Firthermore, someone was smoking in some capsule near mine.

Over night stay was ok for a quick stay

an older capsule-style guesthouse with spaceship ambience, from the roomy capsules to the clean, peaceful basement onsen (settle into the cold dip bath for a while, and you might swear you were in zero-gravity and walking on the ceiling...try it, and you'll understand). located in bustling Ueno Station neighborhood, which is sometimes too prostitutey but also near good food and entertainment and even quiet outdoor nature areas. capsule bay bathrooms aren't as clean or modern as they could be, but the rest of the place is ok. decent common area with free water/tea, inexpensive hot & cold food vending machines, Japanese TV, and rather luxurious, comfy recliners. seems to be populated by older Japanese businessmen, and you won't find any female guests, but it's a great value in a pretty convenient location.
