10/10 Exceptional

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

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.

2/10 Poor

I was really excited to stay in the 'Superior Room' from the photos however there is no door, just a curtain which people mistook for a staff area and put luggage in front of. Weirdly no actual roof which also made the area feel less private/safe. The safe was broken so would recommend bag locks too. There was also alot of noise from the other rooms on both nights we were there, which to be fair can't always be helped but it added to the discomfort we had from this experience.

Novel idea capsule bed between bookshelves. Certainly not for weak of heart or claustrophobic. But fun for students saving money.

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.

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 location is good if you’re in Tokyo for the night life. The Book and Bed Cafe is cute but the hostel is not great. The majority of the hostel area is just plain plywood, the mattresses are so thin that when laying on my side my hip could feel the plywood beneath, and the sleeping pods were SO hot. The bathrooms were pretty dirty. Compared to the Osaka counterpart, this hostel leaves much to be desired.

Really cool place, loved the vibe. Beds relatively comfy and quiet. Easy access from Shinjuku station and in a great area for food, shopping and activities/sightseeing. Capsules get really hot as they aren’t air conditioned but that’s really the only thing I would fault.
