UNPLAN Shinjuku

Great bougie hostel - the prices were low when I booked $46CAD. I wouldn't pay the regular $100+CAD. Great hostel just no bunk bed is worth that. Great social, common area, well designed, great location for enjoying Golden Gai and going out drinking and walking back without having to take the first 5AM train because bars and clubs are walking distance away. The free breakfast was a bit underwhelming with bread, yogurt, juice / no hot meal options. Again for the price I paid I think it was perf

Great experience not one bad thing to say.

Fantastic hostel! Super social and in a really accessible area close to the train as well as night life. The price can triple on the weekends though so plan accordingly

The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at - so private, so clean and also sociable I did have an issue getting the pin for the door for late check in and when I paid in advance due to this I got the link to pay from an email not listed for the hostel. But a fabulous stay when I got there!

Nice hostel, met some fun people here and the staff went above and beyond when I needed help. Would recommend:)

Really enjoyed my stay at UNPLAN Shinjuku! The dorm beds were well laid out with even a rack and hangers! No bed light, but that’s fine. Showers were hot with great pressure and amenities provided. The downstairs bar was a great place to meet other travellers and the location was convenient to transit, food, and shops. Only thing is there wasn’t anywhere to lock your luggage in the dorms (open storage area) so if that’s a concern for you, consider other options.

Nice atmosphere, very attentive staff, except my bed I killed 3 blood-filled bed bugs 🪳in my bed and now I'm covered in welts and itchy. I have videos of the insects. In short, everything was fine except for the cleanliness 👎🏻

really enjoyed this hostel, great location and felt super safe and clean.

Unreal hostel very social, would stay again if in tokyo

Great location, solid facilities.

The common area and the bar downstairs are good for socializing in the evening. Facilities were good, no complaints.

The hostel was nice overall, thr only caveit is that I was locked out of my room at night even though I had the correct code and inputed it around 20 times. I could only enter my room after midnight because I was lucky enough to find someone else staying at unplan walk through the front door who I explained my dilemma to and was staying in the same room as me and willing to let me inside. Otherwise I'd be sleeping on the floor with nothing and no staff to call for help. It could have been awful.

I didn't get a notification or email on how to check in once the reception is closed I was stranded outside the hostel with no code to get in.

This was a great place to stay and check out Tokyo and the Cherry Blossoms. The bed was comfy, had adequate bed light, shelves, charging station. The small keyed safe was perfect for my passport and spare cards. The shower was hot hot and high pressure. Great locatiion, walk to the shinjuku night lights or metro in minutes. 7-11 across the street and plenty of food options near. While not a party hostle it had a pleasant social vibe.

Great place and great location. Very much a social hostel and in the heart of shinjuku - easy to get here via transit from the airport. If you plan on having a quiet place to work - would not recommend - there is no quiet place here from 11 AM to 5 AM unless in the dorms which are purposefully very quiet. Otherwise, staff were wonderful, everything was close by and the place was clean

Very social hostel, tons of travellers and the staff was really cool and helpful.

If you are looking for a social hostel close to good night life this is the place. The only things id say are drawback are the obvious ones that come with staying at a hostel like this )people loud coming into rooms late sometimes, sometimes leave a mess on the way). Also bag area in rooms is not ideal, and light from the pod next to yours shines into yours. All that being said this is the most fun hostel I’ve been at in tokyo, and will probs stay here again next time I am in town

loved my time here. good clean comfy beds and great showers. downstairs having a bar and karaoke is great for meeting people. One thing that wasn't great was the pod next door didn't turn light off so the light creeps over, you need and eye mask if you are sensitive to light

If I could give this place a 20/10 I would, best hostel in Tokyo hands down! Great breakfast place downstairs too super upbeat lively atmosphere and extremely clean. Doesn’t get any better than this place right here folks.

We paid 500.00 a night for a room so small we couldn’t even open the door and both stand on the floor. This room should not have been this price. It was the the size of the bunk bed with only a door width of space to change, put your bags and move around. There was nowhere to put our bags or hang any jackets. Good location but that’s about it. Way too small for this price. Do not book!
