Guest Reviews
- FROGÉ (10/5): Très bon rapport qualité-prix en plein Tokyo - Tout proche du temple Senso-ji à pied. Proche d'une grande rue commerçante et d'une rue où acheter des ustensiles de cuisine en souvenir (Kappabashi-dori). Nous avons réservé un dortoir de 6 pour nous 6 (3 lits superposés). Propre. Espace de vie collectif très vivant. Cuisine équipée pour se faire à manger. Petit-déjeuner. Possibilité d'acheter des plats et boissons fraîches pour le déjeuner et le dîner. Bagagerie. Rien
- Inge (6/5): Prima, dichtbij de metro en hotspots van tokyo - Centrale ligging met loopafstand naar metro. De medewerkers waren aardig en spraken prima engels!! Ontbijt was alleen soep met toast (met boter en jam)
- Florencia (5/5): Aceptable - La ubicación, el personal, tienen para guardar las valijas. No estaba muy cuidado el espacio de los baños y se notaba falta de mantenimiento

- Joanna (9/5): Great hostel in Asakusa, near temple - Great hostel centrally located, very near to the Senso-ji temple. The surrounding streets are a great place to start exploring Tokyo. Great food options too. The hostel itself was great. It had everything I needed; dorm bed with curtains, optional breakfast, small kitchen for cooking, fridge, lounge/dining area to hang out. The area felt very safe and I would stay at this hostel again. There is a lift too (useful for luggage days) Nothing, I really liked it!
- Maria (10/5): Except - Location Nothing
- Ana_ (6/5): -
- Mathew (5/5): just to sleep in if you know what i mean - easy to get out and get to the train station. and many many shops around. that's about it. come back to just sleep in. not a best choice for winter accommodation, as the facilities area little prison like. Could freeze your nuts in that room Oh, that manager at the check in desk. he gave me a 10 minute lecture about Sakura Hotel Asakusa, like it was an upmarket brilliant 7 star Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Out of irritation, I asked if there was attached bathroom to each room. That's when another 10 minute lecture on why bathrooms are not available. Perhaps many nationalities come in during summer.

- Argonia (8/5): Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, dobra baza wypadowa, miły hotel - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko do stacji metra, dzielnica handlowa, dużo sklepików w pasażach handlowych, Duże sklepy: Don Quijote i UNIQLO. Niedaleko najstarsza w Tokio świątynia Senso-ji. Hotel bardzo dobry na krótki pobyt 3-4 dni w Tokio, dobra baza wypadowa do zwiedzania miasta. Łóżka piętrowe wolnostojące - niestety zabrakło przy nich jakiejś półeczki na telefon czy drobiazgi oraz wieszaków na ciuchy. Problem z podłączeniem ładowania, bo wtyczki wypadały. Lepsze byłyby łóżka bardziej zabudowane, ze ściankami.

- Kaisa (6/5): Stanna 1 natt för att maxa din shopping - Bra läge för att kunna slänga av shoppingpåsarna löpande under dagen. Kan eventuellt finnas en fukt- eller ventilationsproblematik på det här hotellet. Fick luftrörsproblem efter vistelsen. Oklart om det var hotellet eller avgaserna i Tokyo
- Shota (5/5): Overall had a good stay and would recommend if on a budget. - The location was very nice, being close to a couple stations and major tourist attractions. The bathroom/shower were also nice. The room was very smelly when we arrived and we had to keep the window open for several days to make the smell somewhat better. They had breakfast available but it was only bread and soup, otherwise you needed to buy ingredients or buy from their cafe.

- Gordon (9/5): - Friendly & super helpful welcome in a fantastic location to arrive into Japan and we really enjoyed the hostel as a base. Kitchen facilities small but well equipped. Some may find the industrial aesthetic upstairs a bit rustic but it was clean, functional & more than adequate for our family.
- Enikő (10/5): - Minden Nincs olyan
- Peintre Artale (10/5): - I didn't really check the location, so when I arrived after nightfall, I was delighted to pass by Sensō-ji. Perfect location. Well-appointed building with all necessary amenities, friendly atmosphere, pleasant and comfortable room. A lovely breakfast, and the pancakes are amazing, thank you so much! Storage space in the bedrooms could be improved, although it's nothing major.

- Selime (8/5): Worth the price - Location Bunk beds were lıose and making noise during night with every move
- Cathryn (9/5): - The cafe/common area The showers were a bit old and tight and the carpets worn.
- merve (1/5): Very disappointing - I had a very disappointing experience at this hostel. The place was not clean at all, and everything felt very old and poorly maintained. The room was extremely small and did not match the description or photos provided, which was quite misleading. The location is also inconvenient, making it difficult to get around or enjoy the area. On top of that, the hostel is very noisy, so it’s hard to get any proper rest. There were no proper facilities as advertised, and overall it felt like basic necessities were missing. The staff were not helpful and didn’t seem interested in assisting with any concerns. I would not recommend staying here. The location is inconvenient and not in a nice area, making it difficult to get around or enjoy your stay. On top of that, the hostel is very noisy—thin walls, constant disturbances, and no consideration for quiet hours made it hard to sleep or relax. The facilities were far below expectations. Basic amenities were missing or not functioning properly, and shared areas like bathrooms and kitchen were not properly cleaned or stocked. Wi-Fi was unreliable, and there were not enough outlets or useful conveniences in the room. The staff were not helpful or welcoming. They seemed indifferent to guest concerns and were slow or unwilling to assist when issues were raised. Overall, the experience felt uncomfortable, stressful, and not worth the money at all. I would strongly not recommend staying here.

- TAKASHI (5/5): - いろんな外国の人と触れ合える 外国人が夜中まで騒いでいてうるさい
- Kevin (6/5): - Comfortable beds, decent-sized common area, convenient location, adequately secure. Basically what you should expect of a hostel. Overpriced, with a bare-bones breakfast. Facility is showing its age.
- Norma (4/5): The people and staff were kind and very helpful and good vibes. The actual building and facilities are just old and smel - It was a good location and the staff was kind and always willing to help. It was soooooo smelly it made my head hurt. I felt dirty walking into it.
- Anna (8/5): - Väldigt prisvärt och bra läge!
- Kenneth (10/5): -
- Stéphanie (10/5): - Dans un beau quartier, proche du métro donc en 30mn on est à Sibyya. Le personnel est super sympa, attentif. J'ai pu laisser ma valise avant le checkin. Chambres propres, avec un petit rideau au lit pour plus d'intimité. Petit déjeuner sans bcp de choix mais inclu dans le prix ca devient rare ! Et point bonus : ils m'ont aidée à faire envoyer ma valise à mon hôtel suivant à Osaka pour ne pas avoir à la transporter dans le Shinkansen. Service au top elle est arrivée le lendemain. Je reviens à Tokyo 3 nuits avant de reprendre mon vol retour et j'ai déjà réservé ce même hostel. Je recommande les yeux fermés ! Pour ceux qui ont peur par rapport à la taille de leur bagage : j'ai une grosse valise (vide à l'aller mais qui sera pleine au retour, on le sait ;) ) et ca rentre nickel sous le lit il y a de la place. Place supplémentaire entre le lit et le mur. Rien à part que les sanitaires communes sont communes donc evidemment pas comme à la maison et ou à l'hôtel. Mais on le sait puisque c'est un hostel! C'est régulièrement nettoyé donc pas de souci majeur.
- Pinyu (3/5): 不要為了省錢住這裡😅 - 位置方便，有停車位，員工友善。 髒⋯腳臭味很重，床架像監獄，真的很難在東京遇到那麼髒的背包客棧。剛好入住都遇到是青少年，在走廊上奔跑大叫很吵。
- Fernanda (9/5): -

- Nathan (10/5): - Funcionários atenciosos, localização excelente.
- Yuki (9/5): 良いとこ悪いとこひっくるめてもまた泊まりたい宿でした！！ - ドミトリー的な宿なのに部屋に鍵が掛かる。 浅草駅から少し離れているが為に夜の商店街的なところをかなり楽しめた！ スタッフが優しくて良かった！ 布団も良かった！！ 朝ご飯が混み合うとお皿やカップが全て出払って全然なく待たされる。 部屋が6人一部屋になっている為、夜に帰ると部屋の電気をつけづらく、真っ暗のためかなり気を使う。 お風呂のドアが割れていた。

- Rosi (2/5): Yuko you must get another job! - Has a kitchen The staff!!! Requested a lower bunk bed because I have a bad knee and Yuko the receptionist said there was none and surprise next morning there was !!!so what kind of help is this!…..
- Hikaru (5/5): - 自分は疲労によって寝ていたので参加していないのですが、外国からの観光客がほとんどで施設内のカフェで交流パーティーをやっているようなので日本国内で国際交流をしたい場合は選択肢としてかなり有力 同室に2段ベッドで4つ8人宿泊になるので音が気になる人はちょっと寝るのが厳しいかもしれない あと2段ベッドがかなり音が鳴りやすいので同室の人に迷惑をかけないようにするのに気を使う 室内のエアコンの温度管理は集中管理みたいなので合わない温度になってるとつらい 男子トイレも数が少なく、結構においもある。また、自分の宿泊時は1つ故障中でトイレ事情が気になる人は結構つらい
- Monika (7/5): Good - Good location and nice staff, sociable. A lot of beds were empty when I was there so it was almost private feel ! The staff was able to accommodate my wish to have a lower bed. The mattress was hard and the sun would hit the room early in the morning. I couldn’t sleep well because of this. Also the bathrooms lacked facilities and the toilets were broken.
- SoYeon (9/5): - 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 샤워실이 조금 좁아 불편할 수 있지만, 감당하고 재방문할 의사 있습니다!
- Claudia (8/5): - Hat seinen Zweck als Unterkunft erfüllt. Gibt nichts auffälliges das besonders gelobt werden könnte. Nichts, war Okay.
- KEIKO (9/5): -
- Haider (8/5): If you are travelling solo and want to explore Asakusa then this the must place to stay. - The location is amazing with all the touristy location nearby.
- Cristina (9/5): Desayuno meh... - La ubicación Poca variedad en comidas y desayuno muy decepcionante (aunque buen sabor)
