Reviews of BEE-HIVE Sugamo - Male Only 1 stars

Terrible stay, super dirty no staff, good so dirty!

Everything

The place was clean and quiet and it was a different experience

The internet was indescribably bad, this was one of the biggest problems there the internet was really bad

Very cheap, and interesting location

The spring in the bed made the bed really hard, maybe just not my level of comfort

There is no free breakfast.

It was near the station.

No staff when we showed up, there's no security, so didn't feel safe leaving our stuff, mainly because the police had showed up early that day and earlier that week about a stolen wallet both separate incidents. When we showed up someone was in my bed and someone had stolen my friends bedding. Ended up sharing a bed with my friend. The futon is also practically non existent. It also wasn't that cheap and was not worth the price where other hostels in Tokyo for the same price provided so much more. This was in the 20 man dorm. The 8 man dorm was a little better, but still had the same security concerns, considering it's not all that secure.

I like everything if was nice it's not that bad people saying

Guest should close the doors gently

The location *would* have been extremely convenient, it's right next to Sugamo train station after all. However, the upside of this is quickly negated when you realise the walls are made of paper and you can hear the station announcements loud and clear even with the windows closed.

The property looks NOTHING like it does in the pictures, much dirtier and older. When I stayed the supposedly secure room door opened without a key code on several occasions, although on others it did require one. Another guest also told me that he heard the valuables 'lockers' (they do exist but they're tiny and a strong tug could probably rip the doors off them) never change their codes, so anyone who stayed there could come back and open the lockers with the same code. WHILE I WAS STAYING THERE SEVEN PEOPLE HAD VALUABLES STOLEN! Including myself. I slept with my wallet stored in my trouser pocket and when I woke up it was gone. Other guests reported broken locks on their suitcases or things going missing from bags. When I called the hostel staff about this I was told the camera in the hallway is non-functional and they do not have access to the one in the stairway or outside the hostel. I filed a police report, as did the others. The hostel staff refused to grant any form of refund or compensation to any of us. I skipped my second night of the two I booked and slept in a manga cafe in the building the other side of the train station, which was delightful.

Location

Very dirty! Only one shower for all guests. Very noisy. Smelly!

Not bad. Only the bathroom was not good

Bathroom

It's unkempt, dirty. It's complicated with two entrances with code locks. If you don't pay attention, you lock yourself out.
