Guest Reviews
- Rachel (8/5): Wonderfully clean and convenient stay with great staff and comfy beds. Just have good earplugs! :) - We will stay here again in the future!
Super convenient, just above a Family Mart with a 7-11 across the street and only 5 min from the train station.
Amazing AC in the middle of July!
Very clean bathrooms/showers.
Wonderful and attentive staff! The walls are actually so thin that you can hear your neighbor sniff their nose haha, and the 24/7 endless parade of ambulances, police and fire trucks will be a problem for you if you don’t like earplugs. I happen to sleep very well with them, so this did not bother me, especially with all the other conveniences making me happy! :)
- Matouš (7/5): Good -
- Grace (9/5): Superb - Great location, very close to the train station and only 1 stop away from Shinkuku Station. Owner let us check in early which was great, and store our luggage after checkout. The shared bathrooms were clean throughout our stay, the place is small so i don't think theyre shared with many people. Our room was satisfactory, it had enough space and the beds were comfortable. Overall my friend and I had a really nice stay here, great value for money.
- Angelina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Armando (8/5): Very good -
- Ali (9/5): Superb -

- Silano (8/5): Very good -
- Rosa (8/5): Very good -
- Brandon (7/5): Great hostel for the price, Great if you know what your getting into. - Rooms were clean. Location was good, the station nearby is one stop away from shinjuku. Restroom was tight, one toilet, and 2 showers. One shower was exposed without a seperate room, so no one really used it. Shower with room had signs of mold growth and a mildew smell.
- Puinyuk (6/5): Pleasant -
- Patti (8/5): Very easy to find and perfect location. - It was a great location. Close to the train station which was very easy coming from Narita on the express train to Shinjuku. Convenience stores beneath and across the street with ATM machines. I had a room alone which was quiet and lovely. Nice people and a pleasant stay, thank you!
- Bogdan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giselle (8/5): Very good -
- Lachlan (8/5): Very good -
- Nurul (7/5): Good -
- Rattanaporn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alistair (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, close to train lines and convenience stores. Room was very comfortable and facilities were very clean. The owner would reply instantly if you messaged but weren’t around the hostel a lot of the time which we didn’t mind. I would highly recommend and would stay again.
- Loraine (10/5): Great value for price!! -
- Wirjono (9/5): Superb - Surprised! Almost all stuff available there, from toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, clean towel, clean room, clean toilet, clean bathroom, clean shower, clean bed, small refrigerator. Satisfied. The best hostel in Okubo I think. Nothing.
- David (4/5): Disappointing -
- Al (7/5): Good - Location was ok, near two JR train stations.
- Sana (8/5): Very good -
- Lina-chemeliine, (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shiuan-jie (8/5): good hostel for one or two night. have a easy and clean night here. - location is good- near subway station or just walk to Shinjuku
the house is clean and the room is bigger than most of the hotel rooms in Tokyo
enough bathroom and toliet
and a convenience store just upstair, easy to grab some food there's no elevator here
the walls are very thin so you can heard if your neighbor is laughing
- Anastasiia (9/5): Superb - Excellent location, close to the metro and convenience store, separate showers and toilets, all necessary hygiene products, doors open 24 hours.
- Veronika (10/5): I didn’t expect hostel with shared bathroom facilities to be so nice. - Location is really great, shops, pharmacy, many food places all couple minutes away. Also district it is located in has a lot to offer and Shibuya is really close by metro.
- Sofia (8/5): Very good -
- Asthari (9/5): Superb - The location is in the city center, close the station
- Ethan (10/5): Great stay in a great location - Very clean and great facilities. The AC was also perfect. Staff were kind and compassionate and on hand to help out. Only one shower for the block.
- 暐庭 (8/5): Very good -
- Alejandra (7/5): Good - The location is excellent. One stop away from Shinjuku by train. The place is clean and the rooms are a good size for 2 people. The hostel also allowed us to store our bags at reception super early the day we arrived. The check-in process was very easy. There are no staff members anywhere to be found. If you need any kind of help, you need to write to them through Booking. The rooms are also on the 3rd floor so if you have lots of baggage it might not be suitable.
- Zahra (8/5): Very good -
- Dalham (7/5): Good Value For Money. - It was just good value for money. The name is fitting. I feel like it was a lucky find for that price in that location. The room was spacious enough. Bathrooms are shared, but clean. Overall it served its purpose. Overall, it was fine. Walls are a bit thin, so if you have noisy neighbours, good luck sleeping. Also our room had a lingering odor that would not go away even when I'd leave the window open all day to air the room out.
- Brede (9/5): Superb - Nice staff. Clean. Close to train station.
- Bradley (8/5): Great value for money - The location, the cleanliness and the cold water dispenser Bed could be softer, but the stay was very good value for money.
- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Varitch (9/5): Superb -
- Mateusz (7/5): Good - The location was great, especially for the price. The place could use a little cleaning. There were some cobwebs and dust, though the room itself was ok. The walls are thin, so I wouldn't recommend it to light sleepers.
- Arden (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oonagh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lee (8/5): Very good -
- Davies (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melachi (9/5): Superb -

Highly recommended Nothing
- Vanny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexis (9/5): Superb -
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Pratyasha (10/5): Great stay at great price in Tokyo - It is very near Shinjuku and just beside Shin okubo and okubo stations. The rooms are really clean with all amenities provided. The bathrooms and showers though shared are squeaking clean.
- Valerie (8/5): Very good -
- Lee (7/5): Value for money - Clean and well stocked with toiletries No reception present though communication via email was satisfactory
- Tam (8/5): Very good -
- Khánh (6/5): Pleasant -
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional - Lucky Hostel was great! Easy to explore Shinjuku from there. The staff made check-in and check-out simple. The private room was cozy with a comfy bed and good air conditioning. Shared bathrooms were clean. I’d stay there again for my next trip to Japan. 😊 Bathroom was a bit small
- Purtia (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very convenient and a budget friendly. It is clean even if the comfort room is common. The best! Would highly recommend this hostel.
- Russell (9/5): Great place for a night or two! - Not that glamorous but had everything you needed and I slept well. Location was good. Also, for your own room, it was a fraction of what everyone else was charging, so no qualms with that.
- Nikki (6/5): Great basic spot. We really liked it. Great location. Perfect start to a trip to Japan. Perfectly good stay - Great location. Perfect start to a trip to Japan. Perfectly good stay.
- Josephine (2/5): If you sleep at the 2nd floor there is a lot of noise and vibration coming from the store underneath - The location is great and it is big We were sleeping at the 2nd floor room 202, however it was right on top of the convenience store underneath, which caused the whole room and beds to buzz and vibrate ( probably cuz of the fridge underneath). The airconditioning was very dirty putting it on caused a very bad smell in the room, so it was either very hot or smelly. The beds were places right on top of the vibration hotspots so I ended up sleeping on the floor were there was the least amount of background noise and vibration. I got a horrible nights sleep in the end would not recommend this place. if you can stay at a room on the 3rd floor it is probably a good time, but not the 2nd floor.
- Zaion (9/5): Superb -
- Katarina (9/5): Clean, spacious, conveniently located - We booked this property twice on our trip and we loved our stay. Common areas don’t look like much but the rooms are new, clean and spacious. Extra details like toothbrush, towels etc were nice touch. Self check in is possible if you arrive late, easy communication with staff. Location is great, right on top of Family mart and close to metro lines. Common bathroom lacks airflow and gets a bit dirty when lots of people, team however cleans it regularly. Depends on guests staying in hostel it can be quiet or loud. Maybe more signs are needed for everyone to keep quiet.
- Nicolas (10/5): Nice location some meters to train station - Nice location. Kind personal. Good rooms
- Chiara (8/5): Very good - Well connected to public transport. We booked a room and got private bathroom and kitchenette, so it was like staying in a hotel It was missing a towel hanger in the bathroom
- Khánh (8/5): Very good -
- H*** (9/5): Superb -
- Kristoffer (8/5): Good room, cheap price - Good location, close to station, and good value for the price.
There is soap & shampoo + more free for use in the bathroom.
Good communication from staff regarding hostel location, access and key pick-up.
200 yen laundry machines also available. Someone outside of the hotel were talking very loudly around 4-5 am, but I dont think they were staying at the hostel. Dont think any people staying at the hotel were being loud. Bed might be a little small if you're 185cm+.
- Skye (10/5): Very cost efficient and comfortable place to stay - Inexpensive and clean. Responsive to messages through booking.com. Air conditioning worked very well Stairs
- George (7/5): Good -
- Alba (9/5): Superb -
- Marlon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaweekowit (10/5): Good location,clean and quiet. - Good location
- Eden (10/5): Exceptional - So clean, quiet and cozy
- Jonah (8/5): Very good - The facilities were great and the location was good. Very close to a train station on an important line. We liked all the shampoo etc.
- Mira (10/5): The Clean and Cheapest Hostel in Shinjuku!!! - I like the staff let us put the backpack for free while we are away to climb mount Fuji for 2 days! And the all staff very polite too! Will definitely recommend this hostel to my friends Nothing!
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional - comfy bed and was much nicer than the photos
- Autumn (9/5): Superb - The bed was comfy and the air conditioning worked well. Really affordable and great location! The walls are quite thin, so if the other guests you're staying with are loud, you'll be able to hear them clearly.
- Andrei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Poppy (4/5): Disappointing - The hostel is in a good location, close to a station which will get you quickly to anywhere in Tokyo. It was pretty quiet and there were coin laundry machines outside the hostel and space to hang clothes up to dry. The hostel was not clean at all. There was mould and damp in many places and when we arrived the bin in our room was overflowing with a previous guests rubbish. The bed was uncomfortable. The men’s bathroom was full of free soaps and etc but the women’s bathroom did not even have a properly functioning sink - I had to brush my teeth in the shower. The staff are rarely there and we were unable to get clean towels during our 6 day stay.
- Sheri (10/5): Lovely spot - Amazing value! The private room was small, but clean and comfortable. Showers and toilets were spotless. AC was excellent and we had a nice street view from our big window. 10/10
- Sachio (10/5): Nice affordable stay in Okubo Shinjuku area - * Nice kind and polite staff
* Better room than expected
* Some toilets and shower rooms separated
* Free equipments of face washing soaps and tooth brushes, etc.
* Free drinking water server (with hot water?)
* Table and chair in the room
Affordable but nice stay. with being provided comfort effort.
I would like to stay again * not so much. but it's on the 3rd floor with stairs outside
- Vinicio (9/5): A must for people on the budget - Everything! Better than expected. The lovely host let us check in a bit earlier & it was much appreciated. Private showers for both men/ women. Spacious rooms , great location. Looks better in person than photos provided. The host was very nice :) Nothing
- Akilesh (8/5): Very good - Great value for the price, close to Shinjuku, and you get the whole room with a washing machine and fridge. There was hardly anyone at the reception (but that was also because I was there either early in the morning or late in the evening)
- Maia (8/5): Would be back! - Staff are super nice, great location and free amenities! It is a simple accommodation but it is very good for the price you are paying
- Trisha (9/5): Superb - My stay at Lucky Hostel in Tokyo provided a mixed bag of experiences, with some notable highlights and minor inconveniences.
One of the standout features of your stay was the self-service aspect, mirroring a trend seen in modern accommodations. From check-in to check-out, the hostel empowered guests to manage their stay independently, thanks to clear and comprehensive instructions scattered throughout the premises. This seamless process undoubtedly contributed to a stress-free experience, allowing you to focus on exploring Tokyo's vibrant streets and bustling neighborhoods.
Furthermore, the hostel's round-the-clock accessibility ensured that guests could come and go as they pleased, regardless of the hour. This flexibility was particularly valuable for those looking to immerse themselves in Tokyo's renowned nightlife without the worry of being locked out upon their return.
On the upside, Lucky Hostel's affordability and prime location near the train station offset some of its drawbacks. For budget-conscious travelers eager to explore the heart of Tokyo without breaking the bank, the hostel served as an excellent launching pad for urban adventures. Its proximity to public transportation hubs undoubtedly facilitated seamless exploration of the city's myriad attractions, making it a practical choice for travelers looking to maximize their time in Tokyo without compromising on convenience.
In summary, Lucky Hostel offers a budget-friendly option for travelers seeking a self-sufficient stay in Tokyo's bustling metropolis. While the abundance of stairs may pose a challenge for some, the hostel's accessibility, affordability, and prime location make it a viable choice for those looking to experience the vibrant energy of Tokyo without draining their finances. It's worth noting that Lucky Hostel presented its own set of challenges, notably the abundance of stairs. With three levels to navigate, each laden with luggage, the ascent could prove cumbersome for travelers burdened by heavy bags. While this may not be a fault of the accommodation per se, it's an aspect worth considering for future guests, especially those with mobility concerns or larger suitcases.
- Daryl (8/5): Very good - The rooms and bathroom were very clean. The location was very convenient, only a 4 minute walk from the nearest station.
- Bernadette (8/5): Very good - I liked the area. It was easy to get to and there were so many eating options on the doorstep.
It's a very basic accommodation but my room was clean and tidy and it met my needs. It was a little hard to find. There's a sign outside and then you need to go up two flights of stairs.
- Davide (7/5): Happy customer and recommended place - Excellent location, just 5 minutes to metro station and 2 stop away to Shinjuku.
Room was clean and quite spacious. Bathroom area is quite small and they only have 2 toilets. Although this was not a problem for us but could get tricky when the hostel is busy.
It's just the compromise to make to stay in a very good location.
- Paula (8/5): Cheap hotel in a great location! - Location is great, many restaurants and shops around.
They let you store your luggage in reception for free which was really appreciated.
The room we booked is bigger than the average Japanese room so we had plenty of space. The toilet needs a deep clean, the brush to clean the toilet bowl was disgusting. The kettle had coffee stains.
Luckily the rest was clean so it wasn’t a big issue.
There is a constant noise at night not sure if it comes from outside as we didn’t use the aircon.
- Kenan (10/5): Exceptional - They help everything and they are so kind 🙏

- Heintje (9/5): Practical n very good hostel - Price is good. Very clean even for shared amenities. Toothbrush, facial wash, buds, drinking water all were free...basic, practice, not expensive, location. Is good. I like it a lot. Had to wait for check in but was allowed to take a bath. Nothing really...just basic n very practical...like it a lot
- Thar (7/5): OVERALL IT WAS GOOD. - This would be the best I can get in my price range. The location was good. The hostel seems too old. Plus the location was wrong on Google maps.
- Senerpida (8/5): Very good -
- Davies (8/5): Very good -
- Irine (9/5): Superb -
- Kai (9/5): Superb - Very good location, near to station and many convenience stores. Daily necessities are well prepared by owner. The room is big and clean. Will come back again.
