Great place to be at the heart of Shinjuku. However issues with air circulation in the pods make it difficult to sleep if you appreciate a cold room and flowing air. Would recommend otherwise

At first I thought the pods I slept in would be too hot and stuffy. It was a bit of that, but it wasnt bad when you actually lay down and enjoy the space. The space is so unique and there is nothing like it in existence so it was a fun and unique memory for me. They have a corner room if you prefer sleeping with your partner and it looks stunning if you can get it.

Great little capsule hostel right in the heart of Shinjuku. Really loved the book library (even if most if not all was Japanese) and the staff were so friendly. Good lattes too! As someone told me there, it’s a hostel so don’t expect too much personal space but you definitely get enough here. Would love to be back.

Gorgeous interiors and perfect location. If you're a light sleeper I'd choose another option since the bed pods are essentially in the common area. The shared bathrooms and amenities were adequate but I wouldn't want to be there for a whole week.

The vibe of the hostel is ideal for a book-lover. Although most of the books are in Japanese, which as a tourist who don't know Japanese find difficult to read one, you can still see a general theme through the book choices. It can be seen that they had really pay effort in creating an environment where you can 'stay with books'. Staffs are very helpful as well.

The main shared area of the hostel is very stylish, with various interesting books to read, and is fully air conditioned. There is 24 hour service so even in the middle of the night someone will be at the counter- there is also a cafe that’s run next to the check-in area, but even if you’re staying at the hostel you’ll need to pay for cafe items. You can get a change of sheets and towel daily if you want. You get a small electronic lock box in your capsule. The bedding is honestly very thin and not very comfortable, but the atmosphere, convenient location, and value make it worth it

Unique hotel for a different experience. Love that it’s at least on a high level for a nice view of Shinjuku when looking through their big wide windows. Lots of artsy books to browse slowly while chilling & eating at the rest area. The cabin rooms are ok. Had to be extra careful not to make any knocks & bumps in there to avoid disturbing the others haha. I got a cabin which I need to climb up to. The handrail is kinda clunky with an exposed screw at the top. The ladder to climb up could be upgraded to a wider step for easy secure stepping for my foot. If you are not fit, make sure to request for a bottom bunk. Climbing up & down is a mini workout 😅 Morning breakfast is nice. For my 1st day, the lady who served me was nice & respectful. On 2nd day, the guy who served me was kinda moody & not that welcoming but the cereal he made for me is thankfully good 😊

First time staying in a hostel and first time staying in a hotel with a capsule like concept. Very cool spot. Great ambience in the common areas. Great staff. Really great food in the cafe. You also can’t beat the price in that area of Shinjuku. You’re in walking distance to a million great things. The only drawback is obviously the space for sleeping and storing your stuff. It’s small and there’s not a lot of room for your luggage. The shared bathroom was pretty clean for the most part, but it’s still a shared bathroom. For the price and for the experience and for location, I definitely recommend. You aren’t going to be the most comfy you’ve ever been, but that’s ok!

The place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time. There’s dust everywhere. Dust underneath the bed is piled up, its itchy and makes u sneeze all the time. The books are dusty too, imagine breathing dust with book smell. Its a bit noisy too, u can hear all movements from top or next beds. It’s centrally located so getting around is not an issue. This place should be amazing only if it can be a little cleaner.

Our stay at Book and Bed was ok, it was quieter than I thought it would be and I did sleep well. The pod itself was really hot. The staff who checked us in were really nice. It is a different experience, however it could do with a scrub and vacuum. There was thick clumps of dust in the corners of the sleeping pod and the shower could have done with a really deep clean. The sinks on the backs of the toilet had grimy marks in them. The lady who checked us out was quite blunt and a bit dismissive.

Beds get stuffy from no airflow while curtains are closed. Be prepared to sleep hot, especially if on the upper bed. Access to Shinjuku area is really good. Staff was helpful when I needed more towels etc. Some areas and vents are VERY dusty and common area can be messy depending on others. Fun theme though.

本好きの家族で利用しました。 パブリックスペースはすごく居心地がよく、ずっといたかったほどです。 しかし、下記の点で非常にがっかりしました。 シャワーブース 利用される方が複数いるので、その日の汚れなどは仕方がないと思います。 しかし、折りたたみ式のドアを閉めた時にドア内側の下部にいつからかの汚れがこびりついていて、赤カビになっていました。 その場に掃除道具さえあれば、掃除してから利用したいぐらいでした。 個人ブース 私が下、家族が上を使っていました。 1点目、上に上がるハシゴの止めるネジが壊れており、はしごが固定されておらずいつ壊れるかわからなく心配でした。 2点目。私の方で貴重品を金庫に入れようと思ったのですが、壊れており閉めることができませんでした。 家族の方を使おうと思ったのですが、金庫のタイプが違うのに使い方が書いてなく、下のものと同じ使い方をしたら、アラームが止まらなくなりました。 スタッフの方に止めていただいたき、使い方も教えてもらいましたが、やはり閉めることができず、またアラームが止まらずスタッフの方を呼ぶことになってしまいました。 3度目なので、少し嫌そうなのが伝わってきました。が、人間何回も呼び出されて大変な気持ちも分かるので、早く金庫を直してあげてください。 泊まってみたかったので経験できてよかったと思いますが、次回から利用したいとは残念ながら思いませんでした。
