HOTEL CARNA A

Probably the best location to stay in Kumamoto being situated in an active shopping arcade and also being about 10 minutes walk away from Kumamoto Castle. The overall capsule hotel has a dated feel, like it was established in the 80s or 90s, but I found it quite charming. There was even an old karaoke machine booth on the fourth floor. New towels and pajamas are provided every day. Each capsule bed has one outlet and a TV. There is also ventilation but many people may not realize it because there’s a button on the bottom of the ventilation system that you have to switch on, which can be hard to see. There also might be some confusion for those unfamiliar with capsule hotels. You have to leave your key at the front desk every time you leave and then pick it up when you return. You also have to leave the capsule beds from 10 AM to 3 PM every day when they do cleaning. There is only public bath and so some people may not be comfortable having to shower with other people. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would stay again if I come back to Kumamoto.

The public bath was a very nice addition, with good toiletries. There was a bath around 40 degrees with both hot and cold taps; a cold dip bath; a vapor sauna and a (closed) stone sauna. There were also separate showers in the dormitory. Towels, pyjamas, hairbrush and toothbrush/paste are provided fresh each day. There was a locker large enough to fit a backpack in the private capsule, although if you stay multiple nights, you still return the key to the front desk when you leave between 10-3.

Classic Capsule hotel. Everything as expected. The staff were really amazing though. I forgot my laptop here before I went to Tokyo and the staff sent it by mail to my new hotel and it arrived in time before I left Japan! They also allow you to store your luggage at the reception if you are a bit too heavily packed for the classic capsule hotel experience. It's not locked away but in Japan that usually isn't really a problem. Overall, would definitely recommend if you need a quick and cheap place to stay.

Everything is very nice here, even the Powder room for the ladies. Japanese ladies spend a lot of time cleaning and treating their Faces. Staff, location, size of my Bunk room, the sauna, spa and pools to relax. The cleanness, wc, laundry, showers, security, laundry. Lovely Mattress!!!! I catched the A Red Tram outside of the train station, was 15 minutes ride to the Hotel. Close to City Hall Mall Cost ¥180 per ride. There are 2 trams The A RED B BLUE depends were you go.
