convenient location and comfy bed and pillows. Except for a couple of nights we couldn't sleep because of a disrespectful person towards the hostel's rules, I enjoyed my stay and I would recommend it to those who want to save some money and be in town centre too.

Average stay
The Hostel is conveniently located next to Shimbashi station and Ginza. Really clean place, the only down side is noise level at times so to have a good sleep, a earplug is definitely recommended.

OK experience... don't need to do it again
The accommodations were as advertised-- basically a capsule hotel with book shelves. Nothing uncomfortable about them and the place was quiet. The nightly price advertised outside was about 1000 yen cheaper than what I paid through the Hotels.com website and there was a separate charge for towels and toiletries. Probably a better deal for Japanese speakers who make reservations through an alternate channel.

Nice, cosy hotel - very safe
I loved my stay here! One of the things I wanted to do in Japan was stay in a bookshop and this was awesome! The place was nice and warm and cosy. I thought it would feel small, staying in the little rooms but I loved it! Didn't feel small at all! Felt very secure here as the door was locked with a pin code and there was always someone at the desk. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and really made the place feel so warm and cosy. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

生活音が気になる人にはオススメしません
コンパクトスタイルBに宿泊しました。 ベッドが洗面所、トイレ、シャワールームの横にあります。 0時から5時半まではシャワー使用禁止ですが、スリッパの歩行音、歯磨きの音がずっと聞こえるのと、洗面所に髪の毛が結構落ちているので、神経質な人にはオススメしません。 新橋駅から近く、施設はキレイです。 バスタオル、シャンプー、リンス、ボディーソープ、歯磨きのセットが540円で借りられます。 私は潔癖症なところがあるので、もう泊まりませんが、寝るだけで生活音も気にならないという人にはオススメです。

Most awkward hostel experience
There is no privacy, people that works there are always 3m away of your room. They've been talking together all the time I was there, they put classical music so it's never quiet + HAIR DRYER IN THE MORNING big no no. The bathrooms are practically in the same room as the beds. From far the worst and most awkward hostel experience. For the prics, get something else.

Book Lovers' Hostel near Ginza
Great location in Tokyo. Was a bit surprised that there was construction work being done in the hostel when I checked in at 5:00 p.m. but it was finished by 6:00 p.m. Fine as a place to just sleep but woken up by the sound of building cleaners & staff around 7:00 a.m. Don't plan to sleep in, although they do provide complimentary ear plugs if that helps any. It was still a bit stuffy and the curtained bunks can be a bit suffocating as there is no fan for the bunk space. The air conditioning of the small common areas was adequate.
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017
Thank you for staying with us Sorry for making you feel hot. We are lentting mini-electric fan to applicant, but it may be not easy to found notice of the signboard at the front desk. Also, I am sorry for your feel was no good since the constraction has making noise.. It will be finished till 14 Sep. However, our hostel will be niceed more than before one after the constraction. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you stay with us again in the future.

Room for Improvement
Really cool idea but I did not enjoy the space. After realising that what looked like a towel was actually intended to be my blanket, I was told that towels and toiletries could be rented but were not included in the cost of the room. No lockers available for luggage security and it felt quite stuffy so I don't know if there was air conditioning either. Mattress cover was not in good condition and pillow was stained. So I ended up staying at a friend's place instead! The staff were friendly however and the bathrooms were clean and modern. Acceptable for a hostel, but disappointing as an experience.

Very friendly service and cozy place
The staffs are really kind. Especially the owner, he made sure that our stay was the most comfortable. The place is really cozy. Not spacious, but the atmosphere is cozy. We stayed for 4 nights, moved to another place, but decided to go back to extend our stay there. We went on a group of 3 but this place is most perfect for solo travelers - especially those with not so many luggage. Would really love to go back to chill in the capsules and read the many choice of books.

何度か利用しているので、慣れました。ベッドメイキング…といってもシーツを敷くだけだが…から行う掟も、ベッドの長手方向に出入口があるので、思ったより手がかからない。 寝具がタオルケット1枚なのはちょっと寒い感じだが、その分は強力な空調がカバー。 ベッド内に、物を置ける台があるのはうれしい。メガネとか携帯とか置いておける。飲み物もokらしいのは、この台があるからか

音に敏感な人と体の大きな人にはおすすめしません
良かった点は、枕とマットが寝やすかったです。 最初の説明が丁寧でした。24時間外と行き来できるのは便利だなぁと思いました。 よくなかった点は、スタッフと業者の話声がでかいこと。早朝夜中問わず。朝6時に会話が聞こえて目を覚ましました。音に敏感な方はおすすめしません。 本もそこそこありますが、読みたいと思うものは少しだけでした。あと言語的に読めるものも。 シャワー室にはシャンプーなど全くないので、アメニティ一式とタオルは持参がおすすめです。販売もしていました。 空間が狭いので、外国の人にはとても狭いかも…。The room is very narrow. 着替えの時外と仕切っているカーテンの隙間が気になりました。

Not recommend if you dont speak Japanese
Location is excellent. But the space is very narrow entire hostel. Also if you didn't speak Japanese, you seems don't get any service from night shift staff. You will have to check in before 22:00 otherwise they won't wait and I was rushing from airport due to airplane delay. After I check in they only told me which bed number and where to put luggage. Next guest check in is a Japanese girl and staff introduce her the entire area including where is toilet and shower. I have to peeping on them from my jail cell size bed to know where is toilet. Not recommend if you dont speak Japanese.

記得先詢問床位
這次提早預訂,結果是「廁所正門口的下舖」,更換其他位置都要另外加價,床內一個小平台與檯燈,兩個插座與一條延長線,一包拖鞋。要換成有保險櫃的也是要加價。兩間淋浴室沒有備品,洗手台三個附有吹風機,位置在廁所旁邊(所以也在我的床位斜對面)。淺眠旅客請提高預算換到遠離衛浴的床位。軟體部分,人員服務相當好,解說相當清楚,清潔也維持得很好。附近交通機能方便,往南過馬路就是星巴克,往北就是燒肉/鰻魚飯,往西有咖啡廳。從新橋站步行10分鐘內可以到達,就是紅綠燈的順序常常需要連續等兩個。適合早出晚歸、不易被吵醒、不介意自備衛生用品(附近有スギ藥局)的旅客。

一見はお洒落ですが、荒さが目立ちます。
新橋から近く 時間外の遅いチェックインの連絡後すぐに チェックインの方法を動画で教えていただき助かりました。 スタッフ不在の間はドリンクがないので有料自販機の方がありがたいなと思いました。 シーツは清潔でしたが じぶんでかける為 かける前の枕はシミが目に入り気になりました。はしごが一段上がる度に金具が当たり音がするのでうるさく、周りの方に気を使います。 ベッドに上がる入り口のクッション材が剥がれたままになっており、全体的に作りが荒く。おしゃれに見えるように上部だけを取り繕った簡易ホテルだと感じたので。ネットで見た画像が素敵で期待が多かったぶん残念でしたが。 お値段相当考えると、妥当な宿泊所でした。
