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.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.

Maria

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was very hard to find , even with google maps. It was in a very rough area , trash, prostitution, drugs, alcohol, very sketchy area… once you go up, they do help you check in & everything , the view is nice & the place is cool. It would be a 4/5 BUT it is dirty, foul smells, and the bathrooms & almost every area needs a DEEP clean. Also the mattress is paper thin, so my body would be very sore. Now for the price I paid ($101) for 5 nights , not too shabby.

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.
