Such a sweet hostel with great vibes. Staff and all guests are lovely, very quiet at night but in a great area for going out if you need to. Everything clean and comfortable and really nice common area where people actually talk and lots of ideas for things to do.

It's as clean and convenient as any other hostel I've stayed in Japan. Big shout to Akito, who is always willing to help and share. The location is also just awesome, easy to take a train to anywhere and close to a couple of tax free Shops.

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 location is really good and the price is just right. There's a family mart and bus stop just across the street and a train station is within walking distance. I was able to self check in even after midnight. There is an elevator for those who have big luggages or use wheelchair. The space is just ok and sheets are clean. I will consider to stay here again if i need a place nearby Haneda airport on my next visit to Japan.

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.
