Do-c Gotanda

It was our first time staying at a capsule hotel. We decided to try for the experience and the low price. We didn’t mind the service nor the capsule itself. However, staying in the specific location may not have been the best choice as it’s very close to a lot of night clubs. We had a hard time sleeping due to both the noise inside the capsule area and especially outside. It was very noisy throughout the whole night as you could hear the talking, screaming, and laughing taking place outside. Inside the capsule, the amount of room was to be expected but it was a little uncomfortable due to the heat. I’m not sure but throughout the night it would be cold then hot. The washrooms were shared and were okay but some of the sinks and toilets dirty. I can not fault the staff for this as it was late night and guests could have made the mess. The saving grace was the WiFi was fast and it allowed me to put my headphones on and watch videos to somewhat block out the noise. Overall, if you need a place to stay for a low price and can deal with the noise, staying here would suffice. However, I don’t think I would return to stay again due to the experience I had. I would only return if I needed a last minute cheap place to stay but I would opt for a better area.

You have what you pay for. Well located, close to Gotanda station, it is quite minimalistic. I am not fond of the raw concrete style and the cabin was a bit too hot. It is cheap and you cannot expect more from this price

Good for staying for a night. Not recommend for long stay. Staffs were very friendly and polite. They spoke simple English and were eager to help.

Staff was friendly and helpful. You get fresh towels, pajamas, and toothbrush everyday. You have to vacate from 10am to 1:30 pm for them to clean everything from top to bottom. You get fresh pillow, sheets, etc. for your cozy little pod. Take a sleeping pill if you’re clostrophobic. You’ll get used to it in a couple days. Definitely not fancy but clean and functional. The area is girl clubs and pimps and hoes. But it is completely safe! Because it’s legal in Japan it doesn’t bring with it all the crime, lowlifes, and junkies. I will definitely stay here again next time in Tokyo and will recommend it to all my friends. Fantastic value. Most of the guests are Chinese businessmen. Everyone is real quiet and respectful and for the most part doesn’t make eye contact. The 7th floor lounge is pretty much just a quiet place to geek out on your phone or laptop and have something to eat from a take out place or 7-11. Cool little outside deck where it says no smoking but I did anyway and no one said anything.

Was a little hot to sleep. But other than that it was great!

Overall, it was a nice stay for 2 nights at do-c gotanda considering the price in Tokyo. 3 min walk from Gotanda JR Station, having a wide shower & sauna facilities plus complimentary amenities. However, sound-proof appliances should be installed for the guests to be able to enjoy their nights. Plus, I was struggling with finding out the accommodation when check-in, as it doesn't have a big banner showing the entrance. Inside the capsule room, I felt a bit stuffy, when closing the curtain, due to lack of ventilator & aircon in each capsule room.
