Hare-Tabi Sauna & Inn Yokohama - ハレタビ -

Had a wonderful stay at Hare-Tabi! I don’t speak Japanese but the staffs were so helpful using body language + translator to make everything happen! Unlike other capsule hotels where you only have a bed size area to yourself, Hare-Tabi allows you with a bit storage/ leg room next to the bed! Not to mention about their free sauna service included in your package ! It provides the best relaxation before/after a day of exploration around Yokohama China town. You will find some quiet time to yourself using their services here. I’m sure you will enjoy the stay or even purely just the sauna service here!

Great looking hostle but could barely sleep in it The hostel has an insanely great charm and is beautifully designed. The capsule is relatively spacious and the bed is reasonably comfortable. The staff are very friendly. The location is good in China Town but far away from train stations. Unfortunately, that's all the positives. The bedroom is not air conditioned, stuffy and way too warm. I don't think a single window was opened all day. The cabin itself has no ventilation slit or anything. The "sauna" is therefore already inside the capsule even when the outside temperature is low. You can move the air with a palm-sized fan that is as loud as if it were about to take off. Of course, it doesn't do anything. The lounge is located directly in front of the capsules and is used by guests early in the morning and late in the evening. The hotel can't help the behavior of the guests, but when I was there, there were a lot of partygoers and drunks. Why were several capsules still being loudly handed out shortly before midnight? There are a total of two showers, toilets and washbasins for (I think) up to 24 or more guests. To reach the toilets, you have to go through a self-locking door and then back again by entering a beeping code, which you can hear in the bedroom. For me, this was one of the worst nights of my trip. I will unfortunately never book this hostel again simply because of the temperature and air in the bedroom and capsule, even though it is actually really great.
