It was very clean!! The staff cleaned the bathroom properly everyday. The kitchen and common area was also nice and good for getting things done in between or just socializing and chatting with others. There’s a family mart and daiso close by and ryogoku station is only a quick walk away where there is also a bunch of restaurants. I really liked my stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

We were very well received, everyone at the hostel was really nice, smiling and very friendly. Our room was simple but well-equipped, very clean and very affordable. Also, the Asakusa district is really cute, and the hotel is well placed for transport and close to Senso-ji. The Akihabara district is also nearby, two different atmospheres but really pleasant neighborhoods. The street is quiet and we slept very well all week. We really want to thank the staff for their kindness. どうもありがとうございます

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.
