Very calm & clean hostel. The beds are really comfortable & Sanae has thought of everything - there are hooks, sockets, personalised lock boxes, all that you need. I love that Sanae does recycling. It is a tiny hostel so don’t expect parties. But it’s safe, friendly & comfortable & in a wonderful part of Tokyo. Very easy walk from Koenji station

The hostel was perfect but the lady who runs the hostel was beyond amazing. She went above and beyond when I realized I was flying out of Narita and told me how to get there as quickly as possible. I made my flight in the end all thanks to her. She even messaged to make sure I’d made it on time. Thanks a million times over for her kindness. The hostel was clean, comfy and had excellent amenities.

Friendly and cooperative staff. One of them didn't know English well, but we can always use a Translate app and it worked like a breeze. It's a new property and well maintained. While many people are not happy about location, I actually enjoyed walking from Metro to here (about 12 minutes). It's a peaceful area. Senso-ji temple and surrounding market is just 5-7 minutes walking in the evening. While temple closes in the evening, it's a different vibe altogether.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the truly outstanding experience I had during my recent stay at your hotel. Every aspect of my visit surpassed expectations, making it a memorable and delightful stay. First and foremost, the food at your establishment was nothing short of exceptional.The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was not only impeccably clean and well-maintained but also tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it truly contributed to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation. Of course, what truly sets your hotel apart is the unparalleled hospitality extended by your staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

The property had a very nice and inviting atmosphere at the lobby level and the rooms were clean and orderly. I like how each capsule is pretty spacious and good enough for 1 person. I was able to make new friends in the lobby each night as we shared about our day and just chilled while we talked about Japanese culture.

Nice staff (always friendly, asked about my day, gave recommendations on what to do etc). The facility was clean and small but had everything necessary (I stayed in a private room). There's a kitchen downstairs that you can use (it has all the stuff you need to make a nice meal). The next street is Kappabashi Kitchen Street, Asakusa is within 10 minutes of walking distance, subway and train stops are within 10 minutes of walking distance. I usually stay at hotels but after this experience, I'm sure I'll consider hostels more! Thank you - I had a lovely stay!

All hostels in Tokyo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.
