I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the truly outstanding experience I had during my recent stay at your hotel. Every aspect of my visit surpassed expectations, making it a memorable and delightful stay. First and foremost, the food at your establishment was nothing short of exceptional.The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was not only impeccably clean and well-maintained but also tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it truly contributed to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation. Of course, what truly sets your hotel apart is the unparalleled hospitality extended by your staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

I stayed with 3 friends in the family room in this hostel. The staff is very nice. The room was very spacious and the hostel has a big common room where you can relax. For this price you won't find anything else in Tokyo. The subway is close by (8 minute walk) from which you can be at Akihabara station in a few minutes. In the area surrounding the hostel there is not much to do, but that was fine. Would recommend a stay here if you are in a budget

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.
