The Capsule Gajahmada Semarang

I stayed for just five hours, even though the booking was for the normal period, and took the Double Earth with two beds. It did the job well, and I’d come back and recommend it. The receptionists were as plain as the place, so expect a cold response. The capsule room gets extremely cold, and the bed isn’t five-star quality. You can get a blanket for extra money. Shared showers and toilets were clean; keep the shower heater setting low. Toiletries and towels are clean and available for a small charge, and there are lockers instead of safes. It’s a handy place to crash, lie down, get a clean shower, or rest briefly. I can’t say the location will be strategic for everyone, but it suits me because it’s close to my plans.

I expected an ordinary capsule hotel, but ended up loving the place. The sleeping area is spacious and very clean, and the bathrooms are separated for men and women. There’s a common room where you can get coffee, tea, snacks, or breakfast. The location is just perfect, too. It’s worth the money, and I’d love to stay again.

It’s a clean place with a fairly cheap price, and the service is excellent. The building has five floors, with separate dorms for women, men, couples, and mixed groups. You can shower with hot or cold water. Sharing the dorm can get a bit uncomfortable, though. I find it disturbing when someone talks loudly as I’m trying to sleep, so bring earphones or something else to help you feel comfortable.

It looks small from the street, but there's quite a bit of space inside. The rooms are nice, though the bathrooms could be cleaner, and the tap water is salty. Since it's a capsule hotel, it works well for a short rest and feels worth the price. The central location is the biggest plus: it's close to two major train stations and convenient for getting to Semarang sights like Kota Lama and Simpang Lima.
