This was a unique stay. Loved the book vibe. Wanted to try the capsule hotel option. It isa a hostel so lots of beds, people can come and go whenever so there could be a fair bit of noise if you are a light sleeper.

I am 52 and my son is 21 and we both enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, each bed was private and the entire place was clean. We didn't ever have an issue getting in a shower or toilet, even with it being fully booked. It was close to the station and plenty around it for fun, convenience, or food. We would definitely stay there again.

It's very cozy and in a good location. Rooms are small and capsule-hotel style. Clean. Staff speaks english and is helpful. The street area below stays loud through the night.

Stay away
Horrible beds (you have to make your own bed), pods are hot and the washrooms were in horrible condition and dirty. Cool book space doesn’t make up for the rest.

Love the Book and Bed concept, staff warm, welcoming and efficient, for a hostel the bed cubbies are quiet and private with solid walls and double curtain, separate men and women bathroom and shower stalls thoroughly cleaned daily, easy luggage storage, cafe had nice offerings, nice places to read, work and windows to look out. Great location near Shinjuku station. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning!

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.

Everything was great. Superb atmosphere. No complaints.. just the toilet needed a repair. The water bidet in the toilet stopped working after the first day of my stay and wasn’t fixed for the next 4 days..

Quite dark and stuffy inside. Pod was bare wood with a fabric cover on the top bunk. Man and woman bathroom has the same entrance that makes a little uncomfortable.
