The hype
Travelers love the clean facilities and social vibe but consistently complain about the noise from other guests packing bags.
The Millennials Shibuya
$70-150/ noche
Reserva esto si You're a solo traveler or digital nomad who wants the social perks of a hostel but the privacy of a futuristic space pod.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Free beer hour every evening (5:30-6:30 PM) is a legitimate social event
- High-tech 'Smart Pods' with iPod-controlled beds and lights
- Incredible location in Jinnan, minutes from Shibuya Crossing but slightly removed from the chaos
Resumen rápido: It’s a hostel in a tuxedo—you get a remote-controlled bed and free coworking space, but you’re still sleeping behind a pull-down screen next to a stranger.
Reseñado por @shannonknight27: I stayed here solo and it was a game-changer. The smart pod features are so cool—the bed actually sits up to wake you! It's super clean, the free beer hour is a vibe, and being able to walk home from Shibuya nightlife saved me so much money.

- You are a solo traveler looking to meet people without the 'party hostel' grime
- You need a reliable coworking space with good Wi-Fi
- You pack light and don't mind shared bathrooms

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there a curfew?
No curfew, you can come and go 24/7.
Can couples stay together?
Technically no—pods are single occupancy. You can book adjacent pods on mixed floors, but you cannot sleep in the same pod.
Are the bathrooms clean?
Yes, consistently rated as sparkling clean with high-end toiletries provided.
Is the Wi-Fi good enough for video calls?
Yes, the coworking space on the 3rd floor has robust, fast Wi-Fi designed for remote work.
Do I need a lock for my bag?
There is a lockable space under the bed for luggage, but bringing your own small padlock for the locker is a good backup.
Is breakfast included?
Not usually. It costs around 1,000 JPY for a simple buffet of breads, soup, and coffee.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 3rd-floor coworking space is often quieter than the 4th-floor lounge if you need to focus.
- ✨
The 'Art Pods' on the 5th floor have unique murals but cost the same—ask for one at check-in.
- ✨
Buy your own drinks at the nearby FamilyMart; the hotel sells them but at a markup (outside of free beer hour).
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Smart Pod' alarm physically lifts your bed to a seated position to wake you up—it's jarring but effective.
💡The elevator logic is frustrating; it often skips floors or takes a long time during morning rush.
💡You can hear *everything* your neighbor does, including whispering and zipping zippers.
💡The ventilation fan in the pod is weak; if you close the screen fully, it gets hot fast.
💡Large suitcases (over 28 inches) might not fit under the bed and will have to be stored at the front desk or in the hallway.
