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!

Je n’ai pas l’habitude de souligner les défauts mais ce soir la ils m’ont plus marqué que d’habitude: - l’hôtel est globalement correct, la salle principale est chaleureuse et très belle, fidèle aux photos sur les réseaux sociaux qui l’ont fait connaître. Le tout est très conviviale, favorable aux échanges entre les résidents. - les pièces d’eau ne sont pas en très bonne était, quelques portes serviettes sont cassé, les douches petites et pas au niveau du reste de l’hôtel. - les cabines sont spacieuses, offrant le confort minimum et nécessaires. Ma capsule situé en hauteur a eu le défaut de laisser passer la lumière au plafond, ce qui n’était ps très optimal pour s’endormir. La ventilation un peu bruyante (et malheureusement des clients bruyant ce soir la ne savant pas éteindre un réveil à 5h30 du matin…) - le personnel est la plus grosse déception de ma soirée: principalement un jeune homme qui a passé la soirée a s’entraîner à chanter du rap, m’empêchant de passer la soirée tranquille (discuter avant 22h n’est pas un problème, après cette heure ci j’estime qu’il y a la pièce principale plus propice pour faire du bruit par rapport aux couloirs des chambres. Je vous souhaite néanmoins de réussir à percer un jour!). Malgré toutes ces petites critiques, l’hôtel reste néanmoins un lieu que je recommanderai le temps d’une nuit (avec le masque et les bouchons d’oreille) car enfin: le trouve le prix excessif face aux désagréments rencontrés ce soir la. J’en suis navré.

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..

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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

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.

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.

Very unique stay but would not do again.I was drawn in by the novelty of this property and it is pretty cool but not practical when there are so many other affordable options around that might offer a cleaner more comfortable stay. It's my understanding you can pay to come up to enjoy the cafe and books without staying. Which I would highly recommend if your a book lover.

Lovely little capsule hostel
Went in May. Bunk was warm but not unbearable, although had no need for the quilt. I found the mattress quite comfortable, and although the compartment was small I was able to move around inside comfortably. Noise does travel easily between adjacent compartments for those easily disturbed. I fear that on one heavy-drinking night I may have been the snoring disturbance, so bear this in mind. Showers were great. Staff were highly professional with a great level of English and I loved the breakfast sandwiches. It felt a lot quieter than most European hostels but it feels like a different crowd. I didn't take advantage of the book aspect but there seemed to be a very reasonable Emglish language selection in addition to Japanese.

Beware!
Beware! This was my second time staying at Book & Bed, my first at Kyoto. How novel, cute, and aesthetic a concept is really the only appealing part. Capsules/beds themselves are warm with no airflow, barely comfortable, and mine was not clean/had dust in it. Showers also not that clean and leave room for improvement. The service and friendliness of staff was mediocre at best - you make your own bed and clean up after yourself. They really only check you in and make sure a long list of rules is followed. The location is convenient but in a sketchy party part of the city. Expect to be woken up up to two to three times a night to loudspeakers, cheering, and other party noises outside as well as find puke, garbage, and ladies of the night/promoters on the streets outside. Secondarily, in the hostel expect light and music to be on till midnight and then full lights to be put on again at 7am.
