Guest Reviews

• Kutay (9/5): Superb -
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - Best stay I have ever had the owner is so nice and it feels like your a home!
• Roy (10/5): Great value. Perfect two nighter in Tokyo. - Convenient and Joe is awesome It’s tiny. So hanging out is uncomfortable. Joe is great and wants to keep the costs down. The “do not do this thing” signs are everywhere to the point I found them hilarious, but others there were annoyed.
• Vikki (5/5): Find a real accommodation option for half the price and double the comfort. This ain’t it. - The area was a fairly long walk from the train. The area is nice though. It was dirty and smelly. There are signs everywhere telling you what you cannot do. Ten mins for the toilet, of which there is o my one. There is only one toilet for the whole place. The garbage was sitting on the floor when I arrived and it was still there when I left. Nothing was clean at all. The carpet smelled. The whole place smelled. The place is not kept clean. There are no toiletries given. No towels are provided except a hand towel. No blankets or bedding are provided. It’s essentially a young man who has turned a house into hostel. It is not set up properly, managed properly or kept clean.
• Yat (8/5): Comfortable stay, joe was very helpful with my Japan problems. Great value for money. - Joe was very nice, bed was comfortable, everyone there was nice and respectful. Was a bit hard to find after dark, sign wasn’t very obvious. A bit of a walk from the station and easy to get lost, but it’s a nice n quiet neighborhood.
• Anastasiya (7/5): pleasant friendly atmosphere - Friendly owner, good internet the rooms were not vacuumed, there was a lot of small garbage in the bedrooms from the previous tenants. you can't use the washing machine. the common area and kitchen are open from 9 to 23, which is also not very convenient if you come late or wake up in early
• Annisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Megumi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jalen (10/5): I would 100% stay there again. - Joey is a fantastic host, and was quite accommodating to reasonable requests. There was ample storage space for luggage and bags. A short 5 minute walk away is a supermarket, drug store and coin laundry. The Toritsu-Kasei area is full of life without being overcrowded. it was a pleasure speaking to locals there.
• Steven (8/5): Very good -
• Ten (10/5): Exceptional -
• Darius (10/5): Exceptional - Great common room easy to meet others. 5 min walk ish to train station and shops. Very nice host Nothing! It was perfect
• Kujibiki (9/5): Superb - Everyone is following rules. Master cares about everything and is always ready to help you. Here you can meet interesting people and spend some time in a common space. Here is the kitchen, the supermarket is very close, and the bed is comfortable. I spent here nice weeks.
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely friendly hostel, cute little chill area. Very quiet and peaceful when I was there. The owner Joey is such a nice guy and super helpful, English spoken. It's a bit out of the way, but a ten minute walk to the nearest train station. It was a relief for me to get out of the busy vibe of Tokyo.
• Jakob (5/5): Passable -
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jonathan (8/5): Very good -
• Rhyanen (10/5): Great hostel with a fantastic host, and a common space that made it easy to make friends - The hostel had everything I needed including a kitchen. The host was so friendly and helpful that it made being there so comfortable - which is extremely important as a young woman travelling alone. The common space was also great for meeting the other people staying at the hostel, and sharing meals!
• Nikki (10/5): Exceptional -
• 杉山 (8/5): Very good - The staff is so friendly, and the room is comfortable.
• Hsitse (8/5): 很方便舒適👍 - There is a supermarket within 3 minutes’ walk To do laundry, go to the supermarket laundry.
• Thomas (10/5): Incredibly fun! - The guesthouse was located in an easygoing neighbourhood but was very well connected to all the Tokyo district. The house is nice and clean. Additionally the owner is very kind and helpful!
• Peter (9/5): A great hostel with great value, perfect for those looking to travel around Tokyo with a budget. - The room you share with others is quite roomy compared to other typical hostels, making it feel more spacious in general. There is a common room that is nice for conversing with others there or just relax with a handful of useful amenities for group or solo travelers such as free coffee, a stove for cooking, and a washing machine (though that is an added cost if used). The bunk beds were a little hard so they weren't that comfy but nevertheless it was still able to be slept in. The area also is a bit in the suburbs area away from the heart of Tokyo so transportation over there can take a while everyday, so plan accordingly!
• Jack (9/5): Superb -
• Lillo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martí (10/5): Incredibly friendly staff who will go above and beyond to help and make the experience as enjoyable as possible! -
• Rajesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Great community environment
• Sayed (1/5): Very bad experience for first time. - Nothing, every think was feck and laying. Should mention the truth what ever it is and Should not deceive the customers.
• Bradley (8/5): An up and coming hostel with a lot of potential. - The hostel is a repurposed Japanese home making for a comfortable and unique experience. The place is clean and offers free coffe and tea. Despite the late check in time of 19:00, I was allowed to check in early which was great! While not a major complaint, each bed has different sheets, ranging from duvets to in my case, a sleeping bag. This wasn't the worst as I simply just used it as a blanket but it was worth noting. Another thing is how unclear it is about being at the right place. As it is essentially a house I was at first unsure I had the right place and stood outside like a fool until by coincidence someone stepped outside for me to ask. A sign on the door would help.
• Kazuhiro (10/5): I am very satisfied. - The hostel owner was very friendly. I got lost and called him, and he came to pick me up right away. There are no bad points. This price is more than enough.
• Amiani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Russell (10/5): Exceptional -
