This place was great! Super clean and new, easy location for Disney (17 min taxi), the sand was a hit with the kids. spacious hang out areas. Breakfast was mostly really great! 1 morning of the 3 it was very Japanese so the kids didn't eat it (but they filled up on cereal instead!). It comes packaged so you can take it with you if you aren't ready to eat. The room had what we needed to sleep and lay out our luggage easily. check in and check out was easy. Great value for money

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.

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.
