Honestly it might be the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Great facilities, a lot of privacy in the dorms, everything is super clean, the common area is big and comfortable, kitchen fully equipped and all of the staff members are very kind and helpful. The location is good, a little bit further away from the centre but you can still easily get everywhere on public transport. I had an exceptional stay!

It’s my best stay in this trip to Japan! Not only the rooms are tidy and cozy, but also the owner Sanae-san is really nice! The atmosphere in the guests is great, and I made friends there! I’m so lucky to have spent my days in Grapehouse!

It’s clean and organized, the staff is very clear and friendly. The people in the dormitory also were mindful of being quiet so I didn’t have any issues but if it’s your first time in a hostel you need to get used to the dynamics of sharing space, specially for arranging your luggage. Location is great too.

Very nice accommodations, modern design, and very comfortable. I was lucky to be able to find this place, and I booked 3 nights not long before the check-in date. The staff is great, especially Akino. I didn't ask for her name, but I saw it on the "Meet Our Staff" board. She is an enthusiastic, energetic girl who can speak English very well and has traveled to many countries. Both the room and the bathroom are nice, clean, and private even though it is a shared space.

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.
