What guests think

At UNPLAN Shinjuku, travellers praise the friendly staff, lively social spaces, and convenient Shinjuku location near convenience stores, while noting dorm-style tradeoffs like occasional noise, limited personal space, and a modest but appreciated free breakfast.

Many reviews highlight clean capsules, showers, and common areas, though some report inconsistent cleaning, wet mats, or dust in shared facilities. Beds are generally comfortable, but some guests found pods cramped, storage tight, noise from roommates, or occasional maintenance issues like broken curtains or temperamental air conditioning. Overall, UNPLAN Shinjuku suits sociable solo travellers who prioritize atmosphere and community over maximum privacy.

Easy check in and check out. Good breakfast options. The rooms were quite crowded with nowhere specific to store luggage. If you’re looking for a place to interact with other travellers, this is certainly an excellent hostel for that.

I think what makes this a good hostel is the location and its well known. It was clean and close to everything you want to do. Good place to meet travelers, walking tour Saturday and a decent happy hour. Its right next to seven eleven so a lot of people grab drinks there and bring them back to the hostel. I didnt feel like the staff was real very or had anything else keep the environment social.

離新宿站稍微有段距離，走路大約要15分鐘。不過旅社的整體內容都是一等一的。除了時尚乾淨方便之外，公共空間比很多青年旅社還大，例如房間外的走廊就可以將行李箱攤開整理、走廊上也有桌椅可自由使用，並且這價位居然有附早餐，早餐內容基本但也足夠了。這樣的空間無怪乎很多西洋旅客入住，晚上交誼廳頗熱鬧。

This is the first time I stayed in dorm-style place. I am definitely not going to opt for this experience again. I had heard good things about the social aspects of staying at a place like this, but I am not sure if I would forego the benefits of privacy and a good night of sleep over that in the future. The staff was helpful and friendly. But the bathrooms were not that clean, plus you have to deal with snoring roommates at night!

Absolutely great hostel. Very well-maintained and clean place. Rooms, Toilets and Showers are well cleaned. Hostel is very easy to find from the nearby train station and located in the Shinjuku area so you can enjoy your nightlight in Shinjuku and still walk back to the hostel without needing of train. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Totally worth it. Thanks,

The hotel is very well located, and the building itself is nice, but the hygiene issue seriously affects the overall experience. I found it strange and quite unreasonable to have to remove shoes or slippers before entering the shower area, especially since, during my three-day stay, I never saw any actual cleaning being done. At night, they only collected the trash, but there was no proper sanitation. The floor was visibly dirty, and it’s uncomfortable to step on it and then go to bed feeling unclean. The mat outside the shower was always wet and full of hair, making it impossible to use. The place has potential, but cleanliness in the shared facilities needs to be taken much more seriously.

Dust and mold everywhere. Felt stuffy the whole time we were there, ended up leaving after the second night. Great vibe, definitely a party hostel. But spend some money on someone to actually clean the place. The sink pictured was dirty all 3 days. There was poop on the walls in the bathroom. I get hostels aren't supposed to be 5 stars, but some simple cleaning and new filters would go so far. You can see the dust particles in the air! I don't want to think about how often they clean the comforters.

Worst experience ever. Tye capsule rooms were like rat holes, in which you could only crawl. When I booked the room, it had pictures of 4 small horizontal cubicles. What I got was over 14 such cubicles. People had their shoes and dirty socks at the mouth of the cubicle. Warning to one and all: Dont throw your hard earned money with Uplan Hostel.

I was utterly disappointed with my stay at Unplan, and this is my view in good faith. The two nights that I stayed in the mixed dormitory were the worst of my stay ever in a hostel. The capsule rat hole was a little bigger than an oversized coffin. My head bumped against the celing every time I crawled in there. The rate for one night was above $150 and the other night was $170. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why I was charged differently each time. The mouth of the rat hole , ie, the entrance of the capsule room had shoes of strangers from the occupants of other capsule rooms. The free breakfast had one hard white bread, margarine instead of butter. I can go on and on but instead, my sincere advice is 'Take your business elsewhere if you value your money'.

Renslig og fint hostel! Frokosten var basic og minimalistisk, så spiste der bare én gang. Kjølige og rene rom, veldig rene dusjer og toalett. Gratis såpe/shampo/q-tips og lignende, og man får låne håndklær. 7/11 er rett utenfor døren, noe som var veldig praktisk. Hostellet lå lengre unna metro/stasjon enn forventet, noe som ble litt i det lengste laget å gå i 30 grader med stor sekk. Hodeputene var knallharde og ukomfortable. Utenom det var det et supert sted å ha som base når man utforsker Tokyo! Rolig område, så opplevde ikke noe støy på natten.
