Friendly and cooperative staff. One of them didn't know English well, but we can always use a Translate app and it worked like a breeze. It's a new property and well maintained. While many people are not happy about location, I actually enjoyed walking from Metro to here (about 12 minutes). It's a peaceful area. Senso-ji temple and surrounding market is just 5-7 minutes walking in the evening. While temple closes in the evening, it's a different vibe altogether.

Loved the location it's just close enough to the main areas like Akihabara (10-15 min walk) but far enough that it's not so noisy. And there's heaps of eateries on the way!

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.
