Reviews of Nomad Hostel Classic 1 stars

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Quiet neighbourhood

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.

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.

Excellent location, just a 10 minute walk and you're in the heart of asakura. Towel included in the room. Facilities clean. Travelled as a couple so can't comment on the social aspect of the hostel.

Bed were very uncomfortable, sunk right to the floor. 3 nights were more than enough!

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

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

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.

The place is great, the staff are 100/10 and the neighborhood is perfect. I would definitely come back

Everything great!!!

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.

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

The staff was super nice, and this was probably the most comfortable hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The futon and pillow were so comfortable which is so rare for hostels.

Absolutely lovely staff and very welcoming!

Possibly the cleanliness of shared spaces.

Great room located in a typical hostel. The neighbourhood is very quiet, you are 10min away from metro and 20 min fron senso-ji (by foot). The room was very confortable even if a bit small

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!

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