Guest Reviews

• Jørgen (2/5): Avoid at all costs - About a month before arrival, I attempted to contact the hostel to inform them that we would be arriving late at night. I called the listed phone number multiple times over several days, but no one answered. Eventually, someone picked up – a man claiming to be the cleaner – who proceeded to yell at me for calling what he claimed was an “emergency number.” He told me to use an email address that I was supposedly sent. When I explained that I had never received such an email, he refused to provide it. Hotels.com tried their best to assist and added a note to the booking stating we’d be arriving around midnight. Despite this, when we showed up on the day of arrival, the hostel was completely deserted. No staff were present, and the room we had booked was locked. We tried contacting another number and a Gmail address posted on a sign outside the building – but got no response. In the end, we were forced to crash on an available mattress in a dorm room just to have a roof over our heads for the night. We left first thing the next morning and checked into a proper hotel instead. Hotels.com went above and beyond to help us and, after multiple failed attempts to reach the hostel themselves, they refunded us in full. The hostel itself is not just utterly unprofessional – it’s small, dirty, and, in my opinion, a serious fire hazard. Tiny cramped rooms, luggage blocking hallways, and barely any visible emergency exits. Hotels.com gets 10 out of 10. The hostel? Zero
• Thelma (2/5): - The place it’s filthy. I won’t recommend this place to anyone. I could not give them -0. The smell in this place is horrendous.
• Tomoyuki (4/5): - セキュリティボックスが無い
• Victor (10/5): - Good
• Kevin (2/5): - Bed bugs, bunch of homeless people in there
• ハヤカワカズユキ (4/5): - 隣りの人のいびきがうるさくて、 あまり、良く寝れませんでした。
• ??? (10/5): - 施設綺麗です。
• Takuya (10/5): - good
• MAIKO (6/5): - 部屋が狭い(ダブルでもベッドと通路でおしまい)で、テーブルもないため、飲食可能と言いつつ、部屋で飲食は難しい また、道路に面している部屋は、夜の騒音(若者が叫んでいる)で安眠は難しい
• mami (4/5): - クーラーにカビ生えてた
• KOYA (8/5): - チェックインしてしまえば、 化粧室の利用含めて ホステルの出入りなど気兼ねなく許される。 宿泊最中は両者のトラブルも少なく、 ホテル側の宿泊者に対するサービスは、宿泊者側のprivateを守られていると感じ、更に 宿泊者側からも余計にサービスを求めない限り、ホステル側もストレス無くホテルサービスを行っていると感じる。 六本木店に関しては洗濯機が無く、コインランドリーの利用も徒歩での利用は困難である。 ただ、こちらも乾燥機が設置していない為に、女性は洗濯時には困る欠点はあるかも知れないがその他のストレスはほぼ無く利用可能。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - きれいで安くて、一通りの設備がちゃんとそろっていて快適に過ごせました。 スタッフさんは15:00～21:00の間しか常駐してないのでやや不便はありますが、無理して働かないスタイルはアリかなーと。 ダイニングが狭いのはちょっと残念でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 綺麗ですごく良かったです！駅近でアクセスも良しでした！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - とってもオシャレな空間でした。 安心して泊まることが出来ました。 アメニティーもあり、十分すぎるサービスで、 また利用しようと思います。
• Richard (8/5): - とくにありませんけどとくに
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was so tiny and cute!!! It was a really fun experience staying there!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hostel was so beautifully designed and clean! Also the perfect location for enjoying this cool area of Tokyo!!!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - It’s very convenient to take a train. You just walk in 3 minuets. This hostel is clean. But the sound-proofing seems too bad. I can hear the sound from downstairs even though at midnight, I can’t sleep well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good neighbourhood and convenient location - The location is perfect, just 3mins walk from JR station. The neighbourhood is young and cool with tons of vintage clothing shops and bars and good restaurant. I booked a double bed room and it's kind of small but the common area is very cozy and comfy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Student staffer Morohashi took care of my check-in and check-out.. he is friendly, super helpful, speaks good English and actually was the only staff member I saw! I would definitely stay here again.
• Annie (10/5): Magical forest of shimokitazawa - Great location (although it was very difficult to find the place... It’s located in a great neighbourhood..) quiet, very clean, friendly staff... what a pleasant 7 day of my stay!! Thank you 🙏
