Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our stay at Book and Bed was ok, it was quieter than I thought it would be and I did sleep well. The pod itself was really hot. The staff who checked us in were really nice. It is a different experience, however it could do with a scrub and vacuum. There was thick clumps of dust in the corners of the sleeping pod and the shower could have done with a really deep clean. The sinks on the backs of the toilet had grimy marks in them. The lady who checked us out was quite blunt and a bit dismissive.
At first I thought the pods I slept in would be too hot and stuffy. It was a bit of that, but it wasnt bad when you actually lay down and enjoy the space. The space is so unique and there is nothing like it in existence so it was a fun and unique memory for me. They have a corner room if you prefer sleeping with your partner and it looks stunning if you can get it.
Very clean and quiet in a fun and busy part of town. Cubicle may seem small but more than enough if you just want a quiet place to relax and sleep. Would absolutely stay again
Beds get stuffy from no airflow while curtains are closed. Be prepared to sleep hot, especially if on the upper bed. Access to Shinjuku area is really good. Staff was helpful when I needed more towels etc. Some areas and vents are VERY dusty and common area can be messy depending on others. Fun theme though.
Great place to be at the heart of Shinjuku. However issues with air circulation in the pods make it difficult to sleep if you appreciate a cold room and flowing air. Would recommend otherwise

If you like being surrounded by books, you'll love it. They also serve coffee and you can sit looking out into the city. It was strange being in a Japanese run accomodation where no one speaks to each other and the staff doesn't speak to people.I felt like the staff was scared to speak to people cause they are scared of speaking English. But once the one staff member knew I could understand Japanese he spoke to me. I wish they could learn basic English since their main clients are foreigners.
My second night, I found that I had not been given a towel as well as no new linen. Like NONE at all. I had to sleep with a comforter and pillow with no covers and no sheets. It was so uncomfortable. Wish they had a stack of fresh linen in case of such cases. I finished late before coming back and everyone was obviously sleeping. Lucky for me when I woke up, there was a lady sorting new towels so I could get one.
Also, I felt a little unsafe in the surrounding streets cause there are a lot of streetwalkers at night and early in the morning, it seemed like they were doing their last hour. I felt like I had to watch that I don't become a human trafficking victim.
But if you avoid the night time outside...it is a good place to stay.
