Perfect location in a good area right next to Ikebukuro station. The vibe and decoration is really great. Value for money for Tokyo stay. Everything is clean and neat.

We were so very close to the train station which was a great help! The beds were very cozy and comfortable and the book selection was very interesting. It was our first time in Tokyo and we were very impressed with the hostel. It was so clean and the staff was so very nice. We love Japan!

Great location, lovely staff, English-speaking (particularly if your Japanese isn't proficient) and good breakfast

Jason

The property is beautifully decorated. It has a cool hangout area and nice facilities. You need to look up from the street to see which building it is in - a sign post is hanging off the side of the tall building. Very close walking distance to the subway.

Daniel

Comfortably close to amenities and the station. If you like reading or just a quiet capsule to stay in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, this place is for you.

Donny

Great location, staff, and theme. Nice chill area to relax and read a book. Clean bathrooms and hair dryers were useful. Again location couldn't be better. Ikebukuro station, starbucks, and post office are close among a ton of other things. Would definitely stay again.

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

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

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.

Only downside was the limited space to use the luggage although there is enough room to store it. Tight passage and you can here everything through the next bunks. But overall residents are really respectful and comply by the property’s rules.
Perfect location in a good area right next to Ikebukuro station. The vibe and decoration is really great. Value for money for Tokyo stay. Everything is clean and neat.

The staff speaks limited English, it was very hard to communicate. The pods are also very small, and the beds were not as comfortable as they were at other places.
Such a cute theme! Loved it. Also great location to travel to other places.

Some capsule have lockers in the capsule in it, other don't yet they are the same capsule standard/price though. The lockers available outside the capsules are really small.
The ambiance is great (book and bed concept).

The beds are right outside the common area so it can be a bit noisy at times, also seem to have people popping in just for photos around the place which felt a bit intrusive. Have to pay for any drinks including water.
The place looks amazing with loads of free books in a multitude of languages to read. Such a unique hostel, good to experience.

More English books, chosen by a native speaker, please. The website implies there are more than the ~5% I saw. Dan Brown, Nancy Drew, and Lonely Planet do not make a great library.
The mattress seems thin, but it's very comfortable. The bunks behind the shelves are spacious. Everything is clean. The location is very close to the station.

“If you are lucky - it's a great place :)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Now - the bad sides. Since I stayed longer than I planned I had to change my sleeping place. And then - then I understood why some people left negative feedback. This hostel has two floors! The upper one, where the reception desk is - is just amazing, spacious, cozy beds, excellent choice of books! The lower one, though... that's probably where the negative feedback comes from - it's smaller, narrower, some beds are just in front of a wall, and even the choice of books is not as good! Well, since I happened to be "in both worlds", I thought I need to write id down... There is nothing you can do about it, probably. :) However, notwithstanding - it's a great place to stay and I definitely do recommend!
At first I was hesitant to book or not - because of the contradictory feedback - some people happened to like it and some not... But I decided to go for it and I loved the place - I couldn't understand why anyone would complain! :) It was an amazing experience and a unique concept that I loved so much! Besides - very clean and quiet! I happened to be there longer than I planned - they really saved me by prolonging the booking for one more day, because there was typhoon - and, well, it's the best place to stay indoors for 24 hours. :) However...
