Surprising amount of room with modern furniture and a calm vibe. It was quiet and comfortable. Being on the Tozai line made it a convenient location, though it was a little far from the venue of my event that was through my own fault of booking somewhere far away.

Exceptional stay at this hostel. Bed was amazing with premium bedding, fast wifi, hot showers, fully equipped kitchen to cook, gourmet free coffee, ideal location upon arriving or departing for the airport. It was very quiet during the day so I was able to get work done on my laptop. Be mindful that the office is locked in the afternoon (there is a lovely park nearby where I waited for my check-in). For western travelers, please know that rooms in Japan are small (this hostel seems to be a home converted to a hostel). Noise was not an issue but for a fellow American traveler with his loud mouth.

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.
