Surprising amount of room with modern furniture and a calm vibe. It was quiet and comfortable. Being on the Tozai line made it a convenient location, though it was a little far from the venue of my event that was through my own fault of booking somewhere far away.

Good location, just one block away, one street at most, from Ōkubo Station. A good place to spend less in Tokyo if you don’t want to stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku, and still want to be close by train it’s a good option

Highly recommended! I stayed here twice during this trip and I've already booked here again for my next trip. Super value for money for the location and facilites (it has hairdryer, laundry machine, toaster, microwave, fridge, cooking equipments, etc). Luggage storage in each floor is spacious enough. I had 2 large suitcases and 1 cabin suitcase during this trip and it fit just fine. The place was clean too and the staffs were friendly.

The hostel was really lovely. I had a bed in the female dormitory – everyone was very quiet and everything was clean. The bathroom and shower area was very comfortable and convenient. The Asakusa area was the best place to stay as it is very quiet and calm.

Great location, about a 20 minute walk from Sensoji and Asakusa. A little off the beaten path so be prepared to walk a little to get to different locations around Tokyo. We loved how quiet it was, it was a great break from the Tokyo crowds. Beds were very comfortable, not too many people in the rooms. There is a bath available in addition to the showers in the female dorms, we did not use it but it looked great! We loved the bike rentals, at 100 yen an hour they were super affordable and a great way to bike around and see the city! We wish we had stayed longer just to be able to bike around more (make sure you ask where bike parking is where you intend to go if you do not already know). Breakfast was super tasty. Overall 100% recommended for price and experience.

The hostel is very comfortable and the vibe of the place is very relaxed and friendly. The staff is absolutely wonderful and social, they really made the hostel feel so welcoming and like home for the duration of my stay and I enjoyed the little chats I got to have with everyone. Especially as a solo traveler I appreciated it a lot. The dorm was nice and everyone staying seemed very respectful of the shared spaces. There is also a good amount of space for luggage in the dorm room. The bed was very comfortable and soft, providing a perfect place to charge after a busy day of exploring the city. The location of the hostel is beautiful and convenient, you can get to most places with a maximum of one transfer. Staying at this hostel made me love Asakusa on a whole new level and getting to see the Skytree light up every night brought me so much joy. I also warmly recommend the kimono workshop they host every thursday, it was wonderful wearing a cute yukata and also getting some nice pictures to remember the experience and stay by. 😊

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.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
