Good facilities, the kind staff, and the comfy atmosphere. I felt at home in the common space. I appreciate a hot-water bottle provided in bed, as it was very cold at night.

Nice staff (always friendly, asked about my day, gave recommendations on what to do etc). The facility was clean and small but had everything necessary (I stayed in a private room). There's a kitchen downstairs that you can use (it has all the stuff you need to make a nice meal). The next street is Kappabashi Kitchen Street, Asakusa is within 10 minutes of walking distance, subway and train stops are within 10 minutes of walking distance. I usually stay at hotels but after this experience, I'm sure I'll consider hostels more! Thank you - I had a lovely stay!

It was close to the airport - few train stops away, though quite a dark walk there if you are an anxious female solo traveler would say get a car from the airport. Otherwise fantastic can not fault it at all

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.
