Hiroshima

This review is coming from a British boy on a backpacking holiday with 2 other guys. When we planned our trip - this was the only place available in our price range and we fancied a capsule experience so we booked it. 
We were not disappointed!
The receptionists did not speak very good English but they tried so hard and were so funny and friendly - a real credit to the hotel.
After locking our shoes away we were given a set of PJs each and headed upto our lockers to get changed and lock our stuff in
There. 
After this we got our trunks and headed to the saunas and pools. Got in and had a
Good time - after a while someone told us we needed to be naked- there was around 3 Japanese guys in there naked but we thought it would be ok to wear trunks - it isn’t so that’s a warning if you don’t feel comfortable been naked with the locals.
We took our trunks off and got back
In - they do provide small green
Towels to hide your bits if required !
After this we enjoyed a traditional Japanese sit down shower then went to our capsules.
They are a lot bigger than you think and very comfy with a little television and shelf to charge your belongings. 
We sat with the locals in the common room and had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and both meals were extremely cheap and very very tasty. 
This is a very recommended experience from me - the night stay with 2 delicious meals, drinks and excellent service was under £20. Everything is provided for you , towels , pjs, razor, shaving foam, flannels, shampoo, conditioner , moisturiser all new and good quality. My only negative is that it was too warm in the capsule. Apart from
That it was a great experience and would definitely do it again over a shared hostel.

Crazy Capsule !

I booked a trip to Hiroshima back in August, and my trip unintentionally coincided with the anniversary of the bombing. Because of this, every single hostel in and near Hiroshima was booked. I ended up finding availability at the Grand Sauna Hiroshima via Agoda, and I was a bit nervous because there wasn't much information available in English. In the end, it turned out to be a great experience.

The receptionists had a small pamphlet with rules and information in English. We tried to use a translator on my iPhone to translate some questions, and it didn't work very well, but they were so friendly and we figured everything out. A couple things that might seem weird to westerners:

1) You have to check out each morning and check back in each afternoon, as they clean the capsules every day. But they let me keep everything in my locker during this time, so it was fine.
2) There's a traditional sauna on one of the higher floors. Use it! It's a great experience.
3) Many of the people who stay in capsule hotels are businessmen, and you'll find them smoking cigarettes in the common areas. It's a bit gross if you don't like smoke, but it's a small inconvenience to put up with. They don't smoke in the area with the capsules themselves.

Overall, I was pleased with the experience. It was really interesting to stay in a capsule hotel, the receptionists were very friendly, the sauna was great, and it was nice to have my own private sleeping space: it's much nicer than most bunk beds inside of hostels.
