  The location is the only positiv in the whole hostel. Book only if sleep is not your purpose! You hear every move from other people and this the whole night without a second break. The music is played 0-24, which makes sleep impossible, you have no air and space in the cabin. One single female toilet was open the whole time I spent there and the price is pretty much so high like in a hotel.

  Location is good. But I would recommend if you want this experience, go to the one in Osaka. This one was very dirty and the staff not great. Showers and toilets not clean and the capsule is not comfy. They also don’t clean under the mattress

  Extremely disappointing

  We stayed at the Shinjuku location. We booked purely because we loved the concept of sleeping in a bookstore/library. As a family of 6 who loves books, we thought it would be a cozy, quiet escape from the city. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. This location is on the 8th floor of a building that, unbeknownst to us, sits directly above a club and a darts bar. We enjoy nightlife ourselves, but if you’re someone who can’t sleep through loud music and heavy bass rattling the bunks, you won’t get any rest.Check-in itself was smooth, though the staff at the front desk were a bit cold and standoffish, but that wasn't an issue for us. However, as soon as we entered the common area and bunks, there was a strong musty smell. We headed to our assigned beds and made them ourselves (which we know is typical for hostels), but the pods were uncomfortably hot, and the pillows were visibly yellow stained, which was very off-putting.We were surprised to find that there were no lockers anywhere in the facility. When we asked, we were told the only safe storage available was the small safes inside the bunks, but the safe in my pod didn’t even have batteries. I ended up placing my items in a sibling’s safe instead.The worst part of the stay, and the part we felt was truly unacceptable, was the state of the bathrooms. They looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months - mold and mildew around the sinks, filthy floors, stained toilets, and even one bathroom light switch with the cover missing, leaving exposed wiring. It felt genuinely unsanitary and unsafe. We were scared to use the showers because of how dirty everything was, so we decided not to shower at all. We were staying for one night anyway so we decided to tough it out.When it came time to sleep, the noise from the club below was constant and the pods trapped a lot of heat. The a/c wasn’t running through the night.Overall, we really do not recommend staying here. Yes, it’s cheap, but we’ve stayed in cheaper capsule hotels that were far cleaner, safer, and more considerate of their guests comfort.

  Single parent stay

  Was so worried about staying because the reviews were so bad. I'm a total bookworm so I really wanted to try it. Well, my honest opinion was that it was amazing. I booked a double bunk for me and my teenager, we had the one on the second level. It was near impossible to make the bed as there's no room to do so at that level but made do. It was a bit tricky climbing up. The actual bed was comfy despite being pretty much a box! No issues sleeping. Earplugs essential as lot of background noise but with these had no issues. Plugs available in the bunk itself so you can charge your phone next to you. Arrived late so didn't have much time to enjoy it but anyone worrying about staying, it's way better than I expected! Sleeping areas are all mixed sex, there isn't separate areas, but are split for showers and toilets. Godzilla statue and 3d cat nearby too

  Cute and Cosy Hostel that Needs Mattresses

  13 Apr 2025

  Pros: wonderfully unique idea, cute cafe with photogenic black beverages, friendly staff, easy enough check-in, all areas were very quiet throughout our stay. Cons: no mattress, just thin sleeping pads atop plywood, bathrooms really need to be cleaned in the corners. Overall a good stay.
