UNPLAN Shinjuku

The breakfast (2 slices of bread, margarine/jam/honey, 2 eggs, apple juice/coffee/tea, yoghurt) was good. The location (9 - 15 mins walk to the subways, Shinjuku Station) is great. Many convenience stores nearby (7-Eleven just opposite). Dormitory is ventilated. Ample space in the capsule bed (with a locker, shelf, space for a medium-sized backpack, light, power points, curtain). There's a lift. Ample number of toilets and bathrooms (shampoo/soap provided). Umbrellas available for guests to borrow. Great lounge with well equipped kitchen area and fridge for guests to use. Big space (with TV) next to the reception area for meeting people. Great hardworking friendly staff ready to offer whatever assistance they can. Baggage storage for use before check in and even after checking out (locked after 10pm) - my favourite feature.

The location is only good for one thing - exploring Shinjuku and going out at night to the Golden Gai area. It's a social "party hostel". Thankfully the capsule in the female dorm was very quiet and comfortable and I didn't have problems with drunk people. The breakfast was really nice.

Clean, good value for money. We had a private room for four people, a double bed and two futons with a shared bathroom and shower. The room was surprisingly spacious and in the top floor we had no issues with any noise. There is a free Western-style breakfast buffet and a 7-eleven right across the street. You can store you food in the shared kitchen. A washing machine is also available. There are some social events in the common space, but we spent very little time at the hostel apart from sleeping.

the capsules are spacious, people are friendly and courteous ( keep quiet etc.), breakfast is basic but nice to have + coworking spaces are great, wifi is fast and it was such good value overall!

Despite being quite a walk away from the train stations, the neighborhood where UNPLAN is located it very nice and very quiet. It had a lot of convenience store and food options nearby. The lobby was cozy and also quite stylish. The bunks themselves were nice. My friend and I also found it really cool that the property organizes events for the people staying there like movie nights, and other activities.
