Rooms
Rex Inn Kawasaki, a classic capsule hotel near the station, provides a unique and traditional Japanese lodging experience.

Guests have praised the clean room conditions and showers, ensuring a satisfactory level of hygiene. Additionally, an open-air bath is available, enhancing the traditional feel of the stay.
However, some aspects detract from the overall comfort. Guests have noted that the capsules can get uncomfortably hot and the provided futons are quite thin. Air conditioning issues and a general outdated feel of the capsules were common points of feedback. The changing room in the bath area is small and the amenity options are limited.
Noise levels can be a problem with capsule blinds making loud sounds and the entire accommodation floor at times emitting a bad odor. Despite these downsides, for those looking for an authentic capsule hotel experience with convenient location near a station, Rex Inn Kawasaki offers a taste of traditional Japanese lodging.
Beds
Rex Inn Kawasaki offers a range of sleeping arrangements, from traditional futons to capsule beds. Many guests found the beds to be comfortable and appreciated the clean linens provided daily. The hotel generally maintains a clean environment, although there were some concerns about the cleanliness of capsules and the smell of futons and pillows. Several guests mentioned that the futons and mattresses were too thin, which led to discomfort, particularly for those who prefer thicker bedding. Pillows received mixed reviews with some finding them lumpy and too low. The capsules, while generally quiet, sometimes suffered from insufficient soundproofing and could get too hot due to high indoor heating. Despite some guests noting discomfort with the thin bedding and occasional creaking from older capsules, others experienced a good night's sleep in a calm setting.

However, other guests have pointed out several areas that need improvement. There is a recurring issue with the hallway and elevator floors, which some guests found dirty, detracting from the otherwise clean environment.

In some cases, guests experienced discomfort due to cleanliness issues, such as hair in the changing room, a slippery bathroom floor and unpleasant smells from futons and pillows.
