    This great hostel is in a lovely quiet location with some good cafes and izakaya nearby. It's also very near Asakusa station which makes it well connected to other parts of Tokyo. The hostel itself is very compact as it is an older building, but this adds to the cute and cosy feel of the place. The wooden 'pods' in the mixed dormitory provided additional privacy. I was very comfortable there and felt reluctant to move on.

    I really love this place. My favorite hostel so far. It provides me a senses of privacy because the division between beds is nice structure. Also is super clean. The bathroom spotless. The staff so helpful and polite.

    It would have been good if I'd received the door code in advance of my arrival as I got stuck outside. I requested a lower bunk but unfortunately this wasn't available. The high bunk was tricky to get in and out of and was very warm, despite the air conditioning. I had to keep my curtain open. The toilet in the girls' dorm was also very hot.

    It's a small place with narrow corridors, but the best thing about this hostel was the people. There is one small communal area in the kitchen and I met lots of people there. Also the staff very kindly hosted a party for the fireworks festival, providing food and drink for free. It was a very nice gesture. Plus everything was nice and clean, as you expect in Japan.

    Only minus I can mention this time around is due to the extreme heat as of July 2025, even with aircon on full blast I'd wake up feeling a bit clammy from the heat.

    Stayed here before. As always cheap & spacious. The crowd that stays here tends to be talkative solo travelers if you talk to them first, which is always what makes a guesthouse worth it imo, especially if travelling solo. The managers are always kind & helpful. You can leave luggage before/after checking in/out at no charge.

    Due to the fact that it’s an older houser, the noise when people are moving around the house can be pretty loud.

    I like how the house is a Japanese old style, and how we have our own space even it’s in the share dormitory!

    There was a light that switched on and off anytime someone walked into the dorm room. Would benefit from having some more couches to relax on.

    Staff were very friendly and kind and the location was in a lovely area with easily accessible public transport to the rest of Tokyo. The hostel felt safe.

    The stairs are quite narrow & steep, so luggage can be hard to bring up to your room. Be extra careful!

    The bed space is spacious and can hold a lot of your belongings while still being comfortable.

    Very good hostel in a quiet residential area near to Asakusa station (10 minutes walk more or less). Asakusa station is very convenient to take the train to Nikko. Friendly staff. The capsules/beds were very spacious and equipped with sockets (Very important), a light and a locker (You have to bring your own padlock). Bed sheets and towels were included in the price. The room, the shared bathroom and the common area were clean. There is a Lawson store behind the corner open 24 hours.

    It's a little old, and inside was kinda narrow with only two shower room. There's only Lawson100 nearby.

    It's within walking distance to Asakusa Station (Asakusa Line and Ginza Line) and Honjo Azumabashi Station. The check in was easy because we arrived late at night. The capsule is spacious, enough space to bring in your bags and shopping stuffs. Indoors slippers and towel is provided.

    If I had to say one thing, the stairs are a little steep when you carry a luggage, but that's manageable.

    Really spacious capsules (I could even put my big luggage next to the bed!) and quiet space. True the walls are thin but that's everywhere in Japan, and even as a light sleeper I've seen much worse. 10 mins away from the metro and 15 from one of the main temples of Tokyo. Konbini just next door if you need food, and also really really quiet neighbourhood! Honestly, I couldn't recommend this place enough!

    As other comments mention the building is an old Japanese still so it is a little noisy when people walk around. This was not an issue, both of us slept well and were not bothered by the building or other people 😊

    We loved our stay here! It felt like they had thought of everything you need in the bunk - space for your bag, a small locker for valuables, hooks, coat hangers and a lamp. It felt like I had my own private room. Bathrooms and showers were always clean and having the kitchen was great to sort breakfast before leaving for the day. We liked the location, it was about a 10-minute walk to the train station and away from the hustle and bustle. Would definitely recommend staying here!

    Not about the property but the location, which was good, not far from Asakusa main area (about 15 min’ walk), but it was too quite for me which other people can like. There are not much restaurants or cafes around, I always had to cross the river to sit somewhere. I would suggest adding shelves in the showers since it was difficult to hang stuff.

    Had a great stay. Everything was clean. Staff were really nice, patient, explained everything. WiFi worked well. Metro stations were 12-15 min’ walk distance (not that close neither far). Stayed in the female room and it was great, had our own toilet, large space for luggage, a sink & mirror & trash can, mirrors with lights. The bed cube was amazing, large and I could place my suitcase & huge backpack there, there were shelves and you can hang your stuff there. Very convenient. The kitchen area is nice. There is a code for the main door so you don’t have to carry a key. You can leave your luggage after check out (Im not sure for how long). There are no washing machines but there’s a place not far away and you can take detergent for free. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
