Guest Reviews

• Lucie (10/5): Good location - Good value for the money
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice guesthouse 1 train station from akihabara! Nice staff, very clean and comfy beds :)
• Alexi (10/5): Cozy, friendly place to stay - Close walk to station, mile walk from Akihabara
• JUNGHYEOK (4/5): 딱 싼값하는곳 - 관리인은 일본인이 아니었는가 말이 어눌하고, 그렇게 막 싹싹하지도 않았습니다 하지만 설명해줄건 다 해주고 서비스면에서 불편한점은 없었습니다. 전반적인 첫인상은 괜찮았으나, 침대는 삐걱거리고, 방음은 최악, 샤워실또한 타 게스트하우스에 비해 청결도가 비교적 떨어지는걸 느꼈고, 그냥저냥 1박 잠만 자고가는 느낌이었습니다.
• Valerie (10/5): - Great place near a station. The private room with bunk beds we were in had enough room to hold our suitcases and still move around.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good location! - Tsubame has several clean bunk-bed rooms with clean shared toilets, bathrooms and 1 kitchenette with fridges. Rooms with1 bunk-bed or 1 bunk-bed + 1 single bed with thin mattresses. Bunk-bed is good for 1 person, with 2 it becomes wobbly and a bit noisy. Interesting fact: - you can hear footsteps, noises from hairdryer, from microwaves in the hallways but not noises from streets! - no-lock entrance door makes you feel scared if you have to go to toilet during the night on first night. It is closed to Asakusabashi station, 1 station to Ryogoku/Akihabara stations, not far from Asakusa temple, Sky Tree, Tokyo/Ueno stations,...
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice clean room. A lil cramped for 3 persons with big luggages. It is well insulated in the winter. Near to Asakusabashi Station. Also near to several convenience stores. Overall a great stay here.
• 승환 (8/5): - 숙소청결상태 빼곤 괜찮았습니다.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Helpful staff and meet some new friends here!
• fernando (6/5): - gran amplitud de la habitacion
• PYUNGRAE (8/5): 도쿄6박7일 츠바메하우스 후기 - 청결도는 매일 샤워장 청소해서 괜찮구 서비스품질 주인장 친절 편의시설은 정수기가없어서 불편 위치는 근처에 가까운역있어서 좋음
• Verified traveler (6/5): - small room but nice location easy to walk nice staff we just fit in the room no more space to move but its tokyo
• HUI-CHUAN (10/5): 乾淨的青旅 - 住過最乾淨的青年旅舍之一 空間也比一般青旅大 交通方便 離淺草橋都營站及jr站很近 櫃台人員親切熱心 會主動協助搬行李 行李多的人可以從都營站A1出口出入有電梯
• PO-LIANG (8/5): 還不錯 - 還不錯
• Verified traveler (8/5): 満足です！ - とても綺麗に掃除してありました。 荷物も預けられたし、ありがたかったです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 隔音不太好其他都很不錯
• Becca (8/5): - Only real complaint would be that the beds are very uncomfortable. You can feel the boards under the thin mattress.
• Jeong sook (2/5): 가지 마세요!! - 카드 결제가 안되고 침대 시트에 피 묻은 자국이 있었음 12시 넘어서까지 옆방에선 떠들고 먹고 돌아다니고~ 아무런 제재도 없었음 에어컨 제습 기능이 안되는지 침대 시트가 원래 축축했는데 자는 도중에 물에 빠져 죽는줄 알았음 아침에 일어나 보니 옷도 모두 축축~ 심지어 가방도 축축~ 새벽에 나온다고(5시경) 그냥 열쇠함에 두고 나오는데 현관문이 활짝열려있었음 반대로 생각해보면 그 시간에 아무나 들어올수 있는 상황인것임
• pinpichaya (10/5): Good place! Near subway station. - Near subway station, walking around 5 min. Near minimart (7-eleven and family mart). The staff is so nice. The room was comfortable. Good price and good place.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great quality location. Clean and New feeling . Bed was a little uncomfortable but overall very pleased
• ป้าดำ (8/5): โรงแรมราคาถูก อยู่ใม่ไกลจากสถานีรถไฟ - ห้องพักเหมาะกับ Backpack อาศัยนอน อยู่ใกล้ๆสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว
• Carrie (10/5): - 自在舒適，員工很親切友善
• N (6/5): Good location, nice staff but too noisy - The location is probably the best to stay in Tokyo where metro and JR Line intersect. Staff is very nice and active to help. The room is small but clean. The only problem I got here is the noise. The ceiling floor and walls are very thin that you can hear every steps and every conversations your neighbors make both from the next door and the door upstairs. That's pretty disappointed because you can't get good sleep and the bed is a bit too hard. If you don't have problems with noise and hard bed it's worth the money
• Verified traveler (8/5): - สะดวกดีค่ะ เดินทางสะดวก เสียนิดเดียวพื้นบางไปหน่อยเดินนิดเดินหน่อยดังมาก
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Quiet, close to the station. The beds were a little hard but the shared bathrooms were clean. The walls were very thin though so our neighbors having a phone conversation could be heard in the next room.
• NTPP14 (8/5): The hostel is located near both JR and merto. - This hostel hasn't any elevator, a reception desk is on 2nd floor. Luckily, our reception gave us a room on 1st floor which we had no need to brought our luggages to an upper floor ;p. I love this place about the location is easy for both JR and metro users, peace and many restaurants+24hrs. shop nearby.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 具體完全ok，除了要行梯級！ - 整體ok，價錢合理，老闆會説普通話，能解決行程問題。只是沒有電梯，要行樓梯！
• Verified traveler (10/5): 離地鐵站很近 - 家燕旅社離地鐵站很近，很方便，唯一缺點隔音設備差，隔壁房講話都聽得一清二楚，連地板走路都有聲音，對於淺眠的人比較不適合。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - ใกล้รถไฟใต้ดิน​ ของกินเยอะ​ เดินทางสะดวก​ ห้องไม่เล็กไม่ใหญ่พอดี
• Henrik (10/5): - Utrolig godt til prisen
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 5 m2 pour 3 adultes c'est vraiment étroit La literie était très dure , difficile de ce fait de passer des nuits " récupératrices"
• DONGHYUN (10/5): 역에서 가깝고 싼 호텔 - 방은무척깨끗했고 침대가 조금 삐걱이는거 빼면 좋았습니다! 아사쿠사바시역에서 걸어서 5분정도니까 다른곳에 들르기도편했습니다. 주인분도 친절하시고 아주 좋았습니다.난방이 빨리 안되어서 겨울에가기에는조금 추운감이있어요.와이파이잘되고 드라이기도있고 다음에도 여기서 지내고 싶습니다!
• Noraini (10/5): - Nice clean place to stay. Worth the value. Located near the train stations. There are nearby convenience stores. Helpful staffs. Room has good insulation during winter.
• Teagan (8/5): Simple, clean, and quiet - Everything is very very clean. You know bc you can smell the bleach haha. The rooms are very simple, beds and a desk with a rack to hang your coats. You rent the towels for 100 yen. The shower/toilet/sink is shared with other guests on your floor. Our stay was very quiet. There are multiple cafes and food places around, and you are close to the JR station, only a short walk away. This is not a luxury hotel by any means, but it is a great hostel if you are young and on a budget. :)
• Wing Yan (10/5): - Just like Japan student resident dorm. Toilet and bathroom are sharing with the people in the same floor, quite clean. Remember to bring your own bath set. The nearest subway can go to both airports directly!!!!
• yumi (10/5): - 外国の方向けのゲストハウスなので、過度なサービスがない分気楽に過ごせました。皆さんのマナーも良く、グッスリ休めて以外に快適でした。
• jewoo (8/5): - 숙소위치가 지하철과 가깝습니다. 어차피 게스트하우스가 호텔은 아니니.. 싸게 잠만 자실분은 괜찮은 선택입니다.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 良好的住宿體驗 - 房間整潔乾淨，位置離地鐵站入口約走5分鐘內，唯隔音稍差，浴室使用時間有限制。
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good location, good facilities and very nice staff - This place is not far from the tokyo metro / JR Asakusabashi.sta. You can walk just 5 minutes. There is 7-11 at the entrance of the side-street. (Lawson is located around here too). My room is clean and bigger than I expected. The facilities is good. There is a common refrigerator and hair dryer. Restroom and bathroom are quite small, but it's fine for me. Staffs are very nice and can speak English very well. They helped me a lot e.g. calling to the museum to ask about reservation instead because I cannot speak Japanese, finding out my possession from CCTV, etc.
• annie (8/5): 房間大 - 我入住的係3人房，房間大、開左2個喼都仲有空位，位置係淺草橋A6出口、行一、二分鐘已經到達，客服人員都好nice,而且價錢便宜，下一次一定會再入住。
• Michael (8/5): 很方便的旅館 - 旅館離淺草橋站、7-11只有一、兩分鐘路程，離秋葉原也只是一個站的車程，環境整潔，但客房略小、隔音較差
• Yen-fang (6/5): - 很好
• J. (8/5): Budget stay - Budget stay. Friendly staff and location is close from subway station. Beds are OK. Using common restrooms and showers. Overall nice stay.
• Andre (4/5): Not great at all. - The room is small, bathroom really cold and not in the room. You have to pay extra to have towels. Poor place to stay... The only good thing, it is not fare from the train station.
• Mieko Goh (10/5): Nice hotel - A really nice guest house. Will definitely recommend to others.
• kevin (6/5): Small and comfy place - Small and comfy place , but the walls are too thin, you can hear the people next door talking, but overall a very nice place, and the location is very near both the subway and the JR line
• Verified traveler (10/5): nice stay - nice. no issue.
• AHMAD DAUD (10/5): Nice place to stay in Tokyo. Great location. - Tsubame Guesthouse is a great place to stay in Tokyo. Location nearby JR Train Station Asakusabashi and also the subway station. Easy to find the questhouse and the reception very nice looking lady (Kaya) and very friendly. She help me many things about sightseeing around Tokyo. I will definitely stay here again next time in Tokyo .
• Yestine (10/5): Clean and spacious, highly recommended! - Tsubame Guesthouse was newly renovated in 2015 so as expected, amenities were clean and new. The room and shower area was pleasantly spacious (ours was a private twin room) and relatively clean. Service was good as we requested for late check-in and was afraid we'd missed the check-in timing due to flight delay but they did stay late for us. Check-out was also fuss free. The hostel was also located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood which makes for sound sleeping.
• Denis (8/5): Clean, Convenient and Comfortable - We stayed three days and loved it. We met two receptionists and both of them are very kind and polite. Their English is better than those we met at some five-star hotels in Japan. Since this is a non smoking facility, it really has no smell of smoke (as a lot of Japanese non-smoking hotel rooms have strong smoke smells). Our room and public bathrooms were clean. Check-in was very simple and the guesthouse even provides a free service for our luggage storage. There are many food choices in the area. JR and subway stations are just five minute walk. You can rent a bath towel at JPY100 for your entire stay. The guesthoouse provides all basic amenities except cups and paper towels.
