Kellie, Canada

Definitely a great experience for Tokyo with an excellent location!

Sarah, Australia

My most favorite hostel so far! It’s so relaxing and comforting to be around books while on the trip like this. You can also read in a cozy common area that was beautifully decorated with books on the ceiling! The staffs were amazing and helpful. The bunk was clean and comfy. It’s only a short walk to JR station and Tokyo metro. Totally an amazing stay!

Amladydasha, United Arab Emirates

Most creative and beautiful hostle ever! Staff are all friendly and give useful advice for my trip.

Yu, Taiwan

Great rooms, comfortable. Bathroom is always clean. Great location and great value.

Karla, Mexico

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.

Yosawadee, Thailand

The design is very cool and the location is very convenient.

Leopang, Hong Kong

Excellent location, staff very helpful and friendly, excellent value for money

Raymond, Australia

Very friendly staff!!! Thanks! A nice view on the bookshelves with the cabins in between, an really the funny feeling of sleeping in a bookshelf as people wander next to your bed watching the shelves to find something good. Spacious commonroom with cosy couches and cushions, but a very cold air condition, so you can't sit there too long. Funny experience, but only for one night. I wouldn't recommend more.

Iris, Germany

Very clean, if you were in the book shelf area I’m sure it would be much better

Didn’t dislike anything.
Staff are really friendly and on top of things, the place is kept really clean, with a nice chilled atmosphere that’s great to withdraw to after a day around the city. Location is fantastic with the west entrance of Ikebukuro station viewable from the window and about a minute walk away. Amenities again are great, drinks are available to buy, good quality bottled water is ¥150, beer is a little pricey but it’s a lot better quality than what you’ll find in the convenience store. Speaking of which, the neighbouring buildings contain a Starbucks and a convenience store that sells hot food 24/7, McDonalds and KFC are both within a few minute walks too. The decor is a little bohemian which lends to the atmosphere at night. The beds are single futon style mattresses, not the most comfortable but plenty for a good night and are otherwise great considering the price, a light, fan, and locker are also provided. Finally, the price is really good, the experience is far better than what the price would suggest, easily recommended for a single traveller anywhere from one night to a few weeks. -Make sure you bring a travel adapter with a US style two pin plug, and check voltages as Japan is 100V. If you forget, a BIC Camera store is on the same street that sells plenty of USB mains plugs.

The worst hostel in Japan! Terrible WiFi (i had to work and just couldn't work properly because of the bad WiFi). Unfomfortable bathroom. Small bed (not for tall people). The worst thing - air conditioning. I was freezing and asked to turn it off. But it brought no result. Thanks to Book and Bed I was ill my first week in Japan. I would not recommend it anybody!

“Good idea for the hostel but don't book for many nights. Only one night is OK for experience.”

Its entrance may be quite hard to find. Just walk pass the Starbucks for 4-5 stores and Look for the restaurant named Kirin City. The entrance to the building is next to it. It is really 20 or 30 bed mixed dorm and open 24 hours. So it's very annoying when someone came in and take photo. The shutter sound was quite disturbing. The disturbing sound also came when someone tried to get on their upper bed. The 'clank' sound of the metal stairs wake me up many times at night. Someone also made VERY loud snoring. And also when someone checked out early in the morning and had to packed their things. Therefore, the sound to disturb you from your sleep is quite every time and everywhere in this hostel. The ear plug cannot help. No shampoo, conditioner or bath soap provided in the shower room, whic is quite weird for Japanese hostel. Why can't they provide them? If you wish for a good night sleep, don't stay here. But if you're OK with it, the atmosphere is great and gives you experience. Stay for a night is quite well but not stay there too long.

“You pay for looking at books, could get better for less”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 1 night

Very low ceiling in the cabin (slept in the bookshelf). You have to crouch in, if you need something lying next to your feet, mind your head. Having black curtains on the ceiling to cover waterpipes, it's a bit like a coffin. (You realize, that you are alive, when banging your head on the concrete.) I thought, they would have many, many, many books, but I already stayed at hostels (no book and bed theme- just booklovers) which had much more. Maybe it's much for Japan. You can't pay cash, I should pay towel rent with VISA! In other countries I would say it's clean-but in Japan I got to know better hostel standards. But worst is the music! In the evening it was quite okay, they turned it down around 10pm, but it started in the morning at 8:30h!!! That's definitely no place for people, who want to come home late. Though check-out is at 11:00h. Maybe they don't want to have you there too long. Anyway, if you want a good place to sleep, it's okay, but you can get much better (size of cabin/cleanliness/personal character/kitchen/service) for less.
Very friendly staff!!! Thanks! A nice view on the bookshelves with the cabins in between, an really the funny feeling of sleeping in a bookshelf as people wander next to your bed watching the shelves to find something good. Spacious commonroom with cosy couches and cushions, but a very cold air condition, so you can't sit there too long. Funny experience, but only for one night. I wouldn't recommend more.

Blood stains and hairs found on the bed. No shampoo, shower gel. Heavy stairs to move about if you are on the upper bed which looks pretty but doesn’t make sense.
Pretty and interesting concept.
