I'm writing this post in the St Christopher Hostel in London. Yes, I have begun my long haul holiday trip to Europe and beyond.
Up to now, I have since stayed at three different capsule accomodations: in Mexico city airport, Osaka and now in London.
In my opinion, I feel that Osaka Shell Nell capsule hotel provided the most comfortable stay. Out of these three, I would rank Osaka first, Mexico City airport second and London third.
All three are convenient locations for me. The Osaka capsule hotel is located about 10 minutes walk away from Namba train station. There is a direct train connection from there to Osaka airport by Nankai line.

A top-rated capsule hotel in Osaka !
Lockers with lock provided
Surprisingly, in the locker, there is an amenity bag containing a towel, slippers and clothes hangers. These items are to be returned end of stay.
I was assigned a lower bunk. The 'door' is actually a pull-down fabric. And there isn't any lock to lock the capsule. It can be opened from both inside and outside.
The space within the capsule. The bed literally takes up the whole capsule. There are adjustable lighting controls and usb ports.
This is certainly within my expectations.
Showers with soap and shampoo are provided. There are a number of shower stalls so there is never a queue.
The wash-up areas are also kept clean with some amenities provided.
Exterior of the hotel. Certainly a pleasant capsule hotel stay !
Osaka surrounds..
In conclusion, Osaka shell nell hotel is indeed a top rated capsule hotel. I believe capsule hotels originate in Japan and have since spread to other countries such as Mexico City and London. I'm currently staying in the first and only one in London. I will review this in a subsequent post.
