    Very comfortable beds, lots of luggage storage, bathrooms and showers very clean. Although there were many many beds in the dorm, how they have arranged the layout it makes it feel like you’re in a way smaller dorm! Really liked the stairs rather than ladder doing up to the top bunk. Location was convenient, easy walk to get to Shibuya station. Staff was very kind

    The room got extremely warm and humid at night. The airconditioning didn’t seem to do anything and is centrally controlled. Opening the window was also not ideal since I was on the road side of the building and the traffic can get very loud, even deep in the night (especially with motorcycles who make it their goal to be as loud and obnoxious as possible). Space for your backpack/luggage was very limited.

    Location is walking distance from Shibuya station and nightlife. Everything was clean. Staff was friendly.

    Good vibe of individuals flowing through this place.

    Bed was not too comfortable and rooms get crowded therefore noisy. The hostel is located next to a busy street so you hear cars all day long. Not the perfect place for a good night's sleep.

    Staff is nice and location is convenient. Facilities are well maintained.

    Under the beds were quite dusty.

    Great location, clean and the dorm was surprisingly quiet considering the amount of beds in it.

    not to many space in the room and I showered with cold water. We also found it a little bit far from the center, but theres a bus one street from the hostel that takes you to shibuya station. Hostel is ok for a short stay.

    The stuff is extremely gentle , they helped us with everything we needed. Receive our luggage and helped as get a cub for the airport. The hostel was clean, beds are comfy.

    The hostel was a bargain, but it depends on the travelers who stay.

    I thought that this hostel has downgraded a bit from last I stayed here. A five year gap has changed many things about the hostel which made the phrase "you get what you paid for" a reality. For example, they used to issue guests three free towels per night upon request, but when I went there recently I got only one for the entire stay; ask for any extra and you had to pay 100 yen per towel. It was a minor detail and understandable, given the circumstances, but I was taken aback at this change. Although I should be used to it as a solo traveler, the close quarters living arrangement with other foreigners, not just Americans, was a challenge. In simpler terms, I was wise to bring a nice pair of Noise Cancelling headphones because there were nights when a rowdy bunch of people walked through the sleeping compartment, disrespecting those who needed rest. After this incident, I had to get used to sleeping in headphones to get even a wink of sleep.

    I liked the bare bones essentials of this hostel. It was affordable when I reserved a bed. All I needed was a shelter for the night and Wise Owl provided it. The receptionist was a foreigner, so there was no need to speak Japanese. He was friendly and welcomed weary travelers like me. The bed was comfortable and there were multiple toilets as well as showers stalls which were much appreciated at a hostel that hosts many travelers. The place had an easy access to the neighborhood in Shibuya that had a plethora of food options.

    It seemed a bit pricey. The floors need more cleaning, there was old gum stuck to them and lots of dust under the bed I used for storage.

    It was fairly spacious and bathrooms are cleaned daily. There's no major complaints I have.

    If there are rooms that can divide people in small groups will be much better for living quality.

    It was satisfactory for the price. There’s no common area to sit though, you need to buy stuff from the restaurant located downstairs by the reception in order to sit there.

    Located 10 minute walk from Shibuya. Perfectly located in Tokyo for people wanting to visit there on the cheap.

    In the large room we stayed we had to share about 10 bunk beds so there was alot of people sharing a room essentially. It can be a great experience like we had but if there is a bad apple in the bunch they can ruin a good night's sleep ! Keep in mind

    Good location close to Shibuya crossing if you can walk 10 minutes or the bus can get you there in about the same time with less physical exertion.
