Very cheap, this hotel seems to have been built recently. Everything is very new and in great condition. The bathrooms and the beds are very clean. There is storage space under your bed and a free locker for small valuables (can't fit a bag), and you have hangers and a small shelf inside the bed. The location is great too, just a 2 minute walk from the train station.

The staff members are courteous, and the restroom facilities are well-maintained. This is my second time staying at this establishment. I had inadvertently left my mobile phone behind during my previous visit a week ago, and the staff promptly reached out to me via the mobile application to inform me of my oversight. Commendably, they had safely kept it for me until my return a week later.

All the facilities were very clean. It’s a bit of a walk from Ueno station but it’s located in a quite neighborhood. There’s even a nice little park across the street. The bed was amazing. Firm, clean, and just what I needed after a long day in Tokyo. The shower and bathroom were extremely clean and free of mold. The property also has a nice common room with a kitchen. Great for cooking up something or chatting with the staff at night. The staff was also great. Very helpful, kind, and fun to talk with.

All hostels in Tokyo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
