The bed was really comfy, and the facility was clean. It was really close to the subway. It has a great view on the rooftop. There is a small bar at the reception, and they held an event on the rooftop, which was fun! My pod had a small window, and waking up and seeing the river was fun. The personnel were really friendly and helpful. I don't think I am gonna look for another hostel or hotel to stay when I visit Tokyo next time :)

GrapeHouse Koenji is a beautiful authentic intimate guesthouse that makes you feel at home. The location is excellent and Koenji is now one of my favourite Tokyo neighbourhoods (great for thrifting). The guesthouse is clean, comfortable and a lot of thought has been put into making your stay as comfortable as can be.

The location is really good and the price is just right. There's a family mart and bus stop just across the street and a train station is within walking distance. I was able to self check in even after midnight. There is an elevator for those who have big luggages or use wheelchair. The space is just ok and sheets are clean. I will consider to stay here again if i need a place nearby Haneda airport on my next visit to Japan.

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.
