Ikebukuro Station: only 4 minutes away! (1,000 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Book And Bed Tokyo Ikebukuro – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

This is such a cool concept! The book shelves are all neat and laid out nicely, the location of rooms IN the bookshelves if this librarian’s personal dream come true, and the staff were so friendly! I had some luggage problems and they were more than willing to help me in communicating with the airport! Since the bookshelf beds are in public spaces tho the staff also provides you with earplugs.

Amber, United States of America

The overall look and feel of the space is very cool, and the choice of books and magazines for your browsing pleasure include a mix of English and other foreign-language titles.

Ana, Malaysia

There are friendly staff and nice atmosphere with a lot of books.

Nari, South Korea

The bed was comfortable and I was able to walk around in the space freely to read any books or utilize the sofa in the common area. My bed was at the top, which also provided me great privacy.

Azury, United States of America

Super trendy style, just like the pictures. Very close to Ikebukuro station.

Jillnels, United States of America

My bed was very comfy, the hostel was very clean and the atmosphere was quite gorgeous and very enjoyable. The book selection was fun to peruse especially as I was staying on a cold rainy night. It was nice to enjoy a quiet night relaxing in such a large and lively city during my solo trip.

Susanna, South Korea

10/10 for this place! The location, facilities, staff, decor - everything. Perfect for a bookworm and / or solo traveller. I finished an entire book in one evening because of how cozy it was to relax and read in blissful silence. The best part is that you can even go during the day to just sit and read. You don’t have to necessarily stay the night. The staff are so nice and polite. They’re happy to assist you with anything at any time. Kudos to them!

This place has good atmosphere when it's quiet. It makes you want to sit down, relax and may grab some books to read. It's like sleeping in the library. The bookshelf bunk bed is cute. The overall place is really clean. The staff can speak English fluently. This place is not far from the train station.

If you are looking for a chill and lively hostel where backpackers can share their own travel stories, hanging out with drinks, this is not the place for you. You have to be really quiet just like you're in the library all the time. But if you want to feel what a bookworm feels like, this is just fit for you!
It's a very brilliant idea to sleep in the bookshelf. People are very respectful and the environment is very cozy and comfortable.

If they need a feedback that I don’t have any though but to put one at least, It’d be nicer that giving us a tip on how to open and close the vault when checked-in.
Staff response is literally excellent. Their kindness and building people ability are great.

“One night needed only”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights

Firstly for the price you pay for a bunk per night, I think it’s a little ridiculous that you have to pay for a bath towel (per day) and then make up your own bed on arrival. Also payment wise is only on card, even for a coffee. Second the staff were nice but not overly welcoming or willing to interact with you. Mostly they chatted amongst themselves in the common room. The bunks in the book shelf room are loud from people banging around in their own bunks and also we were right beside the common area so people were chatting right outside our bunks. Also really did not appreciate staff emptying the bins at 8am which are also situated right outside bunk spaces. So if you want to actually sleep, not really a place I’d recommend. Lastly I found lots of black hair in my bed space which made me feel the bunk space wasn’t cleaned out very well from the last person staying there. I sound like a moan, but I’ve done a lot of travelling and stayed in a lot of hostels and honestly this one has a pretty face but it’s not that good of value for money.
So the bookshelf dorm is really cool to look at and the lounge area is comfortable and relaxed. But once you’re over the appearance it is a super basic hostel. The toilets and showers were always very clean. Nice they provide shampoo etc. Location is great as right next to a subway station.

Expect to pay for basically everything (towel, toiletries, water etc). There's still room for improvements such as providing guests daily complimentary bottled water. Pillow and bed sheets should have already been laid, freshen up and changed even before check-in and not pass on the request to have guests freshen up the beds assigned to us.
Location is superb - few seconds walk to access major metro lines. Highly recommend to those who are traveling solo. Book And Bed is "an accommodation bookshop" - what you're seeing here is exactly what to expect - cosy ambience of common areas, an experience while reading a book and dozing off.

Very noisy when others eat around midnight because the shared area is next to the beds.
Cool experience, looks really fancy. The sleeping place is cozy and showers and toilets are clean. The luggage can be stored under the beds. There is also a small safe for money, etc. Located next to Ikebukuro station, perfect to discover the area and Tokyo Night life. A lot of good Restaurants nearby.

The bunks were quite small and felt a bit dusty, and the top ones were pretty difficult to climb into without hitting your head and making the entire shelf shake. I would've preferred the bathroom to be gender segregated, and the toilet area to be properly sectioned off from the bunks, like maybe have a screen or curtain or something (it's just felt a little too close and out in the open).
The overall look and feel of the space is very cool, and the choice of books and magazines for your browsing pleasure include a mix of English and other foreign-language titles.
