Merhawit, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, facility had everything you could need, friendly to solo travelers, easy to walk to downtown Shinjuku or access the train station in a 5 minute walk. Staff friendly and helpful.
Erika, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
David, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was quite grubby and very cold. There were quiet hours but drunk people were loud throughout the night
Amelia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

great vibe and nice setup just wish the air con didnt break in my dorm for a few nights
Adam, 9-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bed was clean but curtain was broken and couldn’t close so there wasn’t much privacy
Nicholas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super clean and comfy with good common space to share with everyone including a nice rooftop space. I’ll be back again. Thank you.
Nori, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
GURJINDERPAL, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
The photo says it all. The shower area was dirty, with hair all over the floor and a constantly wet, filthy mat. Basic hygiene standards were clearly not met.

Erickson, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Eric, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place. Clean and organized . Location by walk is about 10 min to the center
Ronen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and comfortable. Almost felt like a hotel.
Nick, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was fast. Room was clean for people of three but of course because it’s a dorm type of rooms you have to be quiet and there’s some body odor lingering when you passed the hallway. Bathrooms are shared but there’s doors in each toilet and shower area. Breakfast was great. Cool place for single people.
Dalia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall my stay at UnPlan was a good experience and I would definitely recommend it for solo travelers
Linh, 7-night trip

It was a nice experience and everything was good.
Lobsang, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good, only complaint is you can’t wear flip flops in the washroom. The washroom was not that tidy either
Chi San, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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'.
