Good location, just one block away, one street at most, from Ōkubo Station. A good place to spend less in Tokyo if you don’t want to stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku, and still want to be close by train it’s a good option

The overall hostel design looks cozy and comfortable, would love to purchase a souvenior (e.g. Tora logo pin) from them. Staffs are super friendly and helpful. The best thing was to leave our luggages for free after we checked out. As our flight was in the late evening, this allowed us to travel more without worrying the big suitcases. The location is close to few stations and walking distance to Sensō-ji (Asakusa Temple) and Skytree, though we were confused with the Tokyo metro systems at the begining...

The property had a very nice and inviting atmosphere at the lobby level and the rooms were clean and orderly. I like how each capsule is pretty spacious and good enough for 1 person. I was able to make new friends in the lobby each night as we shared about our day and just chilled while we talked about Japanese culture.

All hostels in Tokyo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
