Very clean and quiet in a fun and busy part of town. Cubicle may seem small but more than enough if you just want a quiet place to relax and sleep. Would absolutely stay again
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 😊
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.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Positives:
--Most beautiful lounge of any hostel I've stayed at
--Great views of Shinjuku
Neutral:
--Front desk service was alright, if at times stand offish.
--cleanliness (especially of bathrooms) was so so
Negatives:
--AC was not great and unlike capsule hotels there are no vents in the bunks, leading to what was a hot and stuffy night. I didn't use any blanket and I was still too hot.
--Mattress was uncomfortable.
--There are no lockers. Granted I've never had anything of mine stolen in Japan but it would be nice to have the peace of mind, plus lockers are standard in hostels anyway.
I'm glad I stayed here for a night but I probably wouldn't rebook. Many capsule hotels I've stayed in are cheaper, have better amenities, cleanliness, and working AC.
