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.

The bookshelf bunk beds are a must if you can afford the extra.

Kjrrp, France

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!

Okay

Very noisy and uncomfortable for sleeping. In the mornings or at night when people start moving about, it is impossible to sleep! Too expensive for the limited amenities provided (you have to make your own bed). Not recommended if you would like a comfortable nights stay -- but for a novelty experience it was very pleasant.

The place is extremely crowded in the sleeping area, very little place for your luggage. I had no wi-fi signal in my bed, the capsule itself was short and cramped (I'm 1.90, and so is the bed..) AND I had to make my own bed in that cramp space where I could not even sit up straight without hitting the ceiling (the above bed). The baths and toilets were literally 2 meters from my bed and they charged for a towel.
The decor was nicely done, they do indeed have a lot of interesting books, and the place looks nice with lots of personal touches, notes and so on.

I didn't mind that there was no separation for men and women, but I imagine this could be an issue for some and it is something to keep in mind. Ikebukuro is also not a very convenient location.
it's a cool space and the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a night. I regret not taking the earplugs, but it wasn't too loud for a hostel. reckon this is due to the slightly higher price range for a hostel, so the guests are not the typical hostel guests.

Nice facilities, incredibly convenient that luggage can be left both before check in and after check out. A literal one minute walk outside the subway station which is always a plus. Ikebukuro in general is quite central (a few stops from Shinjuku in one direction, Ueno Park in the other). Also had a nice combination locker to leave things in while out.

There is no space for hanging clothes or personal item that much. All belongings must be in the cabin space which is about 1 metre high. So, it may not convenient for one with the large baggage.
Friendly staff and nice decoration! This is the good place for solo travellers coz there is a common space that you can chit chat with new friends. Books there are also interesting!

“Interesting hostel in an interesting location in Tokyo”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Bunk Compact
- • Stayed 5 nights
Not a lot of privacy or space -- you could always hear what your neighbors were up to in what was essentially a large room with 10-plus beds. No refrigerator for storing things, which was a bit frustrating at times. The capsule beds were a bit stifling sometimes.
The location was great -- there were lots of restaurants, arcades, shopping malls and the like, in an area that felt less touristy. The hostel is definitely unique, and it was fun to page through the books. The staff were present and polite. The bathrooms were clean and there was rarely a line for the showers or toilets. There was a small area with the free coffee and tea, and a microwave.

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.
