Leo Yu Capsule Hotel Funabashi

💤 **Sleeping Experience:** I thought I'd feel like I was crammed in a can of sardines, but I was slapped down in the cabin the second I laid down! The curved ceiling design wasn't oppressive at all, and the ventilation system was super quiet, with air circulation even more comfortable than my air conditioner! The pillows were surprisingly memory foam, with both soft and firm options! The soundproofing was much better than I expected, and I could sleep through the night with or without earplugs—a delight for those with social anxiety. 🛁 **Bathroom Surprises:** I was blown away by the "space capsule shower"! The water temperature was instant and consistent, and the horse oil shampoo kept my hair frizz-free! The dressing room provided free makeup remover pads and scrunchies—so girl-friendly! There was even a makeup mirror with an LED light hidden in the mirror cabinet, so I didn't have to do my makeup in the dark. I was so touched! 👥 **Socially Friendly Space:** I thought capsule hotels were just for sleeping, but I ended up meeting so many great travelers in the "shared book bar"! Work quietly during the day with high-speed WiFi (tested, it easily uploads large files), and enjoy board games with fellow backpackers from around the world at night. A microwave is available for rent in the kitchen, so you can enjoy a late-night bowl of instant noodles while gazing out at the city skyline – instantly embodying the same lonely romance you'd find in Japanese dramas!

The hotel is very clean. The location is very good, right next to JR Funabashi and Keisei Funabashi. If you want to stay before your flight at Narita Airport, it is very suitable. Check-in is on the 7th floor, downstairs, there is a Seven Eleven. You can go down and buy food to eat at the hotel. There are free soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Very good.

The accommodation was conveniently located near the station. The accommodation was on the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors (women-only) of the building. I checked in on the 7th floor, and since my room was on the 8th floor, I stayed there. Since I was on the 8th floor, I had to take the elevator down to the 7th floor to take a shower, which was a bit of a hassle. Other than that, the location was good and I didn't have any issues. It was nice that there was a drink bar at the reception on the 7th floor.

Usage scenario: I stayed on a weekday because I'd be late for a company party. Capsule hotel experience: I've stayed in capsule hotels in Tokyo twice before (more than three years ago). Thoughts: This was the best capsule hotel I've stayed in. Earplugs are charged, so it's a good idea to bring your own. Not surprisingly, the quality of the beds and futons is inferior to that of regular hotels, so I did experience some body aches. Good points: - Conveniently located near the station, with a convenience store on the first floor. - Ample amenities mean you can come empty-handed. (Shampoo & conditioner, body soap, makeup remover and lotion, hair dryer, hair iron, toothbrush, hairbrush, body towel, towel, in-house wear, slippers) - Lockers available for convenient luggage storage. - Bags for in-house wear and towels are also available, making it easy to go between the shower and locker rooms. - Drink bar available, so you won't run out of things to drink. I only drink water, but they have it. Things I'd like to improve: - Improved cleaning and sanitation would be even better. I understand that it costs labor and is a shared space, but it would be good to clean the area around the sink and shower room more frequently. There was a lot of hair on the ground, so I think it would be a good idea to provide a mop so that anyone who notices or uses it can quickly pick it up. There was hair in the futon in the bedroom as well, which made me a little worried. I'm sorry if it was your own hair.
