    The twin room was a tad small, and AC in the cafe was too strong for my taste, given that it was extremely hot outside. But a very good hostel overall.

    The staff is welcoming and competent, the common rooms are cozy and cater to both those who want to socialise and those who just want to chill in their own bubble. Great quiet location to explore Tokyo and to reach from Narita airport. Lots of locals come here in the evening for a drink or two, which makes the atmosphere very pleasant.

    Potentially a little more counter space in the shower area for personal items and more clothing clips to hang clothes to dry on the rooftop.

    The hostel was very trendy but also exceptionally clean and organised. The cafe downstairs had great food and staff. And the common room on the 6th floor had a great kitchen and laundry area. The best part of Nui. was how many cool people I met staying there, especially one of the hostel staff, Sora. One of the kindest and most accommodating hostel staff I have ever met, and he spoke great english so he was very helpful with any questions i had as well as recommendations for Tokyo. Overall, this hostel was the highlight of my trip (:

    Unfortunately, I spent way more than I wanted with the dryers, because they took several cycles to dry a small amount of clothing. Also, major trains are a bit farther away, extending travel time by rail.

    Having the café and the close proximity to the subway were very convenient.

    The room was quite small and it got very bright in the morning, blind doesn’t block out much sun

    Excellent and hip hostel in a quieter part of town but with easy access to everything the city has to offer. Walking distance to the Sumida riverfront and Asakusa with two metro stations very close by. Not a party hostel but still very social. Facilities were very comfortable. I stayed twice, first in the river view room which was incredible, second time in the mixed dorm which was surprisingly clean and quiet for a hostel. Watching the Sumidagawa fireworks from the rooftop is an experience I will never forget. Great base if you are staying in Tokyo for more than a few days.

    The big plus of the Hostel is the bar area. Cool atmosphere, cozy drinks and good food. Perfect location for sightseeing in a silent neighborhood. The size of the doorms was ok, but the private rooms were even for Japanese levels a little bit small.

    Close to train stations, so easy to get to any part of Tokyo. Rooms were clean, had decent size lockers (use your own lock). Rooms have keyless entry (code on door). There’s a decent lounge and kitchen area with fridge & stove. Laundry and rooftop to hang clothes or just hang out. Large bathrooms with separate showers and toilets. Beds have curtains. Staff was friendly & helpful. Would recommend a stay here. More social than some other hostels in Japan.

    Niente

    The hostel is very well organised and clean, the toilet is quite big and with a commensurate air ventilation. The staff is really nice and kind and helpful. The bar/restaurant and the breakfast are simply amazing! For the architecture, the music and the food! I just couldn't add breakfast to my room for ¥1000 once there as Booking says at the moment of choosing between options (with or without breakfast included), but you can have a really good one choosing from the menu and spending a little bit more. Thank you, I appreciated everything from the very beginning!

    Maybe a bit far to get to some tourist attractions but also Tokyo is massive so you're never going to be near everything. On the welcome card it says you have to pay for a towel but that is now included which is good :) Staff were pleasant enough!

    Asakusa is not close to Shibuya etc (about 45 mins into these areas) BUT it's got a very local energy about it, there was a temple event happening just across the road one of the days with lots of locals about. The hostel is super clean, rooms are what you expect for a hostel, their brunch and coffee are banging and its got a good evening vibe if you're looking for a chill drink after a long day - lots of opportunities to meet some cool people.
