Staff was friendly, nice place to sit and eat, drink or read, clean toilets, showers, bathroom in general.

'Rooms' were not clean enough, found some old dirt, so called 'blankets' should have linen to cover it all.

Very quiet at night despite many guests. Book and bed is well located in shunjuku. Interior decoration/design is very cool, the books and furniture create a cozy atmosphere. The accommodation offers a great view.

The sanitary facilities such as showers, washbasins and toilets were dirty at all times of the day. Apparently it wasn't cleaned every day, because dirt from the previous days, such as old hair ties or hair, accumulated on the floor or in the sink. The floor in the lounge area and the tables in the breakfast room were also not cleaned, even breakfast was served on the dirty table. I traveled in Japan for three weeks and never stayed in a single accommodation that was so dirty. When i prepeared the bed, old clouds of dust appeared.

The staff were fantastic, the location was perfect, and the coffee at the cafe was also very good! The novelty of the property was fun and there were plenty of books to read in the common area if you were bored. The bathroom facilities were basic but adequate, and it was a great spot for a short stay or something unique.

The bathrooms were shared, cleaned once a day, and could use a refresh. The facilities were basic, but adequate for a short stay. The mattress in the pod was thin and more like a ryokan mattress. Good for short stays, but we stayed for 4 nights and it was a bit much.

The situation is very good in entertainment area Shinjuku, even a little bit restless. The hotel was silent because it was on the 8th floor. The place is very cozy and unique and has lots of cute details. The café is very nice and stylish even the menu is small. The capsule is spacious.

The thin bed and thin pillow weren't so comfort. You sleep in the common area so there is not so much privacy. There is background music from 9 to 24 so you can't sleep before or after the music starts.

The place is well located if you want to go out and immediately being in the heart of the city. Internally is really intimate and relaxing, and if you struggle with sleeping there are books!!! Love the vibes, i'll definitely come back.

Hosts could be more polite when using toilets cleaning the sink, maybe an advertisement could help. Moreover in my bed, on the locker there was some dust that should be cleaned more carefully.

I had read so many bad reviews about this place, so my expectations were very low… but our entire stay turned out to be a pleasant surprise. First of all, the place (especially the shared bathroom) was exceptionally clean, perfectly clean. I still don’t understand how they managed to maintain such quietness (the hostel is on the 8th floor, nestled between two bars that stay open all night). The staff is incredibly nice, kind, and helpful. We were always greeted when we came in, and they were always available to assist guests. The breakfast they offer is unbelievably aesthetic and also unbelievably good. Considering how affordable the place is, we didn’t expect something so thoughtfully prepared. I really recommend this place it’s definitely worth it.

I enjoyed everything really, no complaints ✨

Literally in the middle of Shinjuku besides Tokyu Kabukicho Tower and near the Godzilla Head. About 8 min walk from Shinjuku Station. Several konbinis nearby with a Family Mart across the street. Located on 7th floor overlooking the famed Shinjuku Square. Amazing and unique common space with many books of various genres. Many art books too so it’s fine if you can’t read Japanese. Free breakfast every day in the connected café, a choice of a sandwich and drink. Plays trendy music which is turned off later in the night. Huge room size with many capsules and the common space. Very spacious capsule with a safe. Has a small bathtub. Towel provided.

Area gets rowdy later in the night. No washing machine or dryer. Very thin mattress. Capsule gets pretty hot. Not enough toilet and showers.

It is always such a wonderful experience. Love book and bed!

The only things were was the futon was a rock and the bathroom wasn’t clean. Although these things are manageable. We love book and bed

It’s good for a day or two, great location and helpful staff. If you are looking for a spacious “room” this is not your place

No lockers

The location was so central and in the heart of Shinjuku. I loved the design of Book and Bed. It was charming and quirky. For a hostel/pod-type accommodation, it was tranquil. There were vinyl records and a turntable, which was fun. The cafe joining the accommodation provided great coffee and tasty snacks. The shared bathrooms were clean and separated. It even included a bath. I loved sleeping surrounded by books and magazines. I definitely recommend Book and Bed.

It took me some time to locate Book and Bed Shinjuku when I arrived; it would have helped if there was a photo of the entrance or a description saying it was above "Tokyo Mystery Circus". The bedding could be improved with ties, buttons or zips to keep them in place.
