Guest Reviews
- Martinez (10/5): Great for light travelers 🎒 - I had low expectations since it was a hostel instead of a hotel, but I was surprised that the room was quite spacious. Furthermore, it didn't smell, everyone was quiet around 10pm, and it wasn't too hot or humid. Overall great experience 👍 I guess my only 2 complaint is that the light brightness (cannot be adjusted) & little to no space or lockers for big suitcases, but luckily for me I only brought a backpack & small suitcase. 🧳
- moussa (8/5): - The location was close to everything in Shebuya. Kitchen constraint by the location.
- Lucas (10/5): Melhor hostel! Fiz muitos amigos - Muito bem localizado, muito legal para fazer amizades e excelente instalação e funcionários!
Voltaria sempre Nada
- Mohamed (1/5): -
- Thomas (6/5): -
- Victoria (7/5): Would stay again :) - It’s a good spot near ish to Shibuya. Not that ideal to get to Haneda with luggage but a great spot to be close to the crossing, the shops, restaurants and night life. It’s exactly how it’s represented in the listing and has a cafe area downstairs They didn’t have oat milk in the cafe, only soy, but that really is my issue not theirs!
- Draysen (8/5): - Liked the location being close to downtown Shibuya but not in a heavy-traffic either. Bedroom AC + windows were nice for the warmer evenings to keep cool. Lobby area was a nice cozy size for relaxing and socializing with others
- Mitsuo (10/5): -
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Yukiko (9/5): -
- Marcia Yukimi (1/5): Expensive, no amenities, need to pay for extra towel and everything else. - Nothing Arrived there and staff had a bad attitude. Was sitting there fooling with his girlfriend and asked for my Zairyu card, assuming i was an immigrant. When i asked if he needed another document (like a My Number) he just said No, it was fine. That’s just discriminatory. When a white customer appeared he just asked for his passport. Staff was a buzz cut balding guy.

- osugi (4/5): 渋谷や中目黒方面へのアクセスが便利 - 周辺においしいお店が多く、滞在中の外食が楽しかった。仕事の目的地へのアクセスも良かった。 過去に何度か滞在させていただいていますが、これまでそんなことなかったのに、、、というくらい、隣室の滞在客グループの声がとても大きく、深夜までホテル前や室内で複数名で騒いでいるのがつらかったです。また、同室の方がドミトリールームの中で荷物を広げて散らかしたまま外出しており、共用部分が占拠されていたため就寝スペース以外は快適に使えなかったのも窮屈でした。今回は運が悪かったのかなと思いました。
- Mia (10/5): Best hostel I’ve stayed in! - The facilities were awesome, the bathrooms and showers were always super clean and beer had an issue like waiting to use one. Even though our room is small it’s great for what we paid. Comfortable beds, sink and aircon. Location is also good it’s about a 15min walk to Shibuya crossing. Nothing
- andrea (9/5): Cheap hostel stay in Shibuya - Convenient They don’t actually have quite time, expect to be woken up at all hours. Bring your ear plugs!
- Chad (10/5): -
- Callum (10/5): -
- Marco (10/5): -
- Cameron (9/5): Good price - Good value for money, friendly staff, women’s toilets clean Men’s toilets really dirty, a little noisy at night, 15 min walk to nearest subway, building a bit dated.
- Hayato Richard Siegfried (7/5): Günstig, entsprechende Ausstattung - Sehr günstig. Gute Duschkabinen. Es hat stark nach Schmutzwäsche gerochen, man hört die Autobahn trotz geschlossener Fenster und Türen, die anderen Gäste nehmen kaum auf andere Rücksicht (eigtl Hostelpolicy), zB singende und quatschende Rückkehrer von Parties um 3-4 morgens. Das Personal scheint nicht besonders interessiert oder motiviert.
- Anais (8/5): - The location is a nice 15 minute walk from scramble crossing and shibuya metro station
- TE WEI (10/5): 想像以上良いです - 部屋とシャワールームはとてもきれい
洗濯機もあります
ハンガーを貸すことができます
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Collao (8/5): - Buena ubicación, ideal para volver caminando desde Shibuya a cualquier hora.
El personal, aparte de simpáticos, siempre con excelente disposición. Quizá oco espacio para el equipaje, pero fuera de eso excelente 👌🏼
- Margarita (8/5): - Расположение хорошее не так далеко от метро, пешком можно дойти до Центра. Магазин продуктов напротив. Персонал приветливый, отдали зонтик. Просто конура) заходишь и сразу кровать. Чемодан даже негде поставить. Внизу кафе, в которое приходят пообедать местные жители.
- Adrean (10/5): A solid place to stay for a good price! - The private rooms have comfortable bunk beds. I appreciated the sink available in the room. Nothing to critique at this time -- we had a good experience!
- Cristian (10/5): -
- Julian (9/5): Absolute aanrader! - Fijne locatie op 15 minuten lopen van Shibuya Crossing en een 24/7 Lawson aan de andere kant van de weg. Super vriendelijk personeel ook! Top bunk had geen locker om koffer/backpack en dus je kleding in te laten. Bed werd daardoor iets knusser met alle kleding erbij. Overigens weg een kleine locker aanwezig voor laptop/camera dus dat was erg fijn!
- Hilarion (6/5): - Staff were friendly and quick to help Rooms were too hot, hard to sleep at night. Slightly difficult to get to but not horrible
- Molliet (9/5): -
- Mr.WUSHIUOU (5/5): - 地點離目黑川賞櫻點很近,並員工態度親切 1.房間內濕氣很重牆壁還有壁癌
2.隔音極差
- Melvin (10/5): - The staff is extremely helpful and was a clean facility Space to move/store luggage very tight space to leave luggage
- Kagami (7/5): 寝るだけなら十分 - 価格の割には清潔で設備も必要十分。ベッドは清潔感があった。ルームメイトにも恵まれて夜は静かに眠れた チェックインが23時までで以降は事前連絡の上加算のようだが、当日のメールまできづかなかった
- Kazunari (5/5): -
- Aodhan (10/5): 100% would stay here again! The staff were so nice and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. L - Lovely staff, Clean comfortable rooms/facilities, great location and a well stocked bar with drinks, coffees etc
- James (8/5): -
- Guldbrand (8/5): -
- Alyssa (5/5): Cool staff & cool vibe - The staff is soo cool!!!!! K was so helpful and a cool person to chat with :) Soo many beds in one dorm... So many drunk people snoring, but is unavoidable in a hostel. Maybe they could give earplugs?

- Evie (10/5): The best time i’ve had in a long time - i loved how easy it was to make friends and all the people working were so lovely. I would definitely go back I think there was mould in our room as there were dark spots in a wall corner
- Itay Ashkenazy (10/5): Taquila night ! - The crew was amazing—super nice people. The shower was very clean and worked great.
They also have a tequila night at 8 o’clock at the bar downstairs, which was a lot of fun. Highly recommended for the price!
- gimtoh-sun (9/5): - 渋谷の横という立地の割に安くて、しかもきれいで快適でした。べッドサイド横の鍵付き収納はありがたい。ベッドが丈夫で軋まず、上や下の人の寝返りが気にならなかった。部屋の温度がちょうどよかった。シャワーは温水が出なくなるかもと注意書きがあったが23時ごろには運よく温水がすぐに出た。 靴の履き分けがあまりなされていなかった。2段ベッドに登る階段が靴箱を兼ねている。せめてトイレだけでもスリッパがあれば。
ベッド照明のシェードが全方向に光漏れするタイプで、隣の人が点けると天井に反射してまぶしい。人によりアイマスクが必要かも。
- Zoe (10/5): -
- Parker (8/5): Decent comes down to the people staying with you on your floor - Fairly good price, good staff, nice care downstairs and only a 10 or so minute walk from prime shibuya area. Noise travelled very easy in the dorms and some people were pretty ignorant and loud throughout the night
- YURI (7/5): -
- hiuming (9/5): -
- JAMES (8/5): - The staff and location were awesome
- Perez-Rubio (5/5): Maybe im too opd to be staying st hostels. - Location and price There was a smell in the dorms
- Mendoza (9/5): -
- 敦子 (7/5): 全体的に満足 - 宿泊予約の返信や受付スタッフの方の対応が親切だった。トイレやシャワー等の水回り設備の数が適正で使いやすい。 2段ベッドのある部屋が肌寒かったが、エアコンは暖房が使えないようでした。
屋外で会話している外国人の方々の声が部屋の中までかなり響くのと、隣の部屋の方の話し声も割と響くので静かになるまで気になってしまった。

- Nagisa (10/5): -
- Matias (9/5): -
- Declan (10/5): Great place for being social especially down at the bar for meeting people and is in a great location not far from shibu - Staff and the bar Need more luggage storage it’s manageable though
- Sam (10/5): - The atmosphere. The staff. The bar. The dorm. The cold showers. They do heat up but it takes a long while so I just cold plunged.
- Hoang Hiep (7/5): Une note de 7/10 - Proprete 7/10
Chambre 7/10
Emplacement 7/10
Rapport qualite prix 7/10, un peu plus cher en comparaison avec autre endroits, mais il faut rendre compte que c'est a Tokyo aussi. Auberge est situe pres une grande route, donc je peux entendre de bruits de traffic si la fenetre n'est pas fermee.
- karin (7/5): - Las camas, colchon y almohada eran un poco duras, me tocó la litera de abajo y cada vez que la niña de arriba se movía caia mucho polvo.
- JUDITH (6/5): -
- Jayna (8/5): - Friendsly staff and very clean property Small rooms and nearest public transport was npt that near :)
- Taylor (9/5): -
- Jose (3/5): Horrible experience . It’s hard to believe this happens in Japan - The location . It’s pretty close to the Starbucks reserved by 4 things we didn’t like at all:**
1. The private room was not even a room — it was just a space barely big enough for a bed.
1. The air conditioning/heater was extremely dirty and full of dust. Since I’m allergic to dust, we had to keep it off the entire time, which left us pretty cold.
1. The cleaning staff was very loud at 10 AM. On top of that, they were taking their break in the guest dining area — not just eating, but watching videos and singing as well. Because of this, I had to wait 30 to 40 minutes just to heat our meal and find a place to sit, since our room was too small to eat in.
1. Last but not least — we decided to leave on day one, even though we had a 5-night reservation.
That night we went to the lobby to check out and explain our reasons. I told the front desk attendant that we were leaving early due to a very unpleasant experience, and that a refund would be appreciated, but that even if it wasn’t possible, I at least wanted our concerns to be heard.
Her response was dismissive and indifferent. She mentioned that other guests had complained about the same issues, yet nothing had been done about them. She also suggested we could use other areas of the building during the cleaning staff’s break — without acknowledging that the staff was being disruptive in a guest area in the first place. Her overall attitude made it clear she had little interest in listening to feedback, responding with a casual “ok, ok” and a quick goodbye, as if she simply couldn’t wait for the conversation to be over.
To be fair, this is not entirely her fault. It reflects a lack of proper guest service training, which is ultimately the hotel management responsibility
We found as you know in booking a much better place , full apartment . Extremely clean . Great location . Same price .
This hotel seems to me a scam for the cost
- Postlewait (10/5): Overall would stay again. For the price it was just perfect. - This property was a little outside of town which made it feel very safe. Staff was extremely friendly, bunks were decently comfortable. Many many bunks in one room. A bit chaotic with all the luggage. Also very important to remember your key at night if you need to use the restroom or you might get locked out of the bunk area.
- Noa (9/5): 快適でお値段も安い - 女性専用の部屋に宿泊しました。外国の方の利用が多くて1階は楽しい感じの雰囲気です。すれ違う人達がにっこりしてたり、フレンドリーに軽く挨拶されることが多くてほっこりしました。利用者のマナーも良くてとても静かです。お値段も安いし駅にも徒歩で行けます。ベッドもコンパクトながら質が良くいい感じの照明とちょっとした収納と座って本を読んだりするのに充分なスペースがあり、一人の空間として快適に過ごせるし夜はよく眠れたので良かったです。冷蔵庫とキッチンスペースと電気ケトルがあるのも助かりました。 歯ブラシ・化粧水・コームなどは配られないので持ってくるかコンビニなどで買う必要があります。
- Desrochers (5/5): -
- Kalina (10/5): A great hostel with nice people - The hostel is great and it has excellent location! N/A
- Ryohji (9/5): - 個室を選んだので気兼ねなく使えた。両隣の部屋の声も聞こえずよかった。 交通量の多い通りに面していたので騒音は承知していたが、外で夜中までおしゃべりしている方が多く、そういう騒がしさがあった。部屋は狭いので大荷物があると広げる事ができない。
- Martina (4/5): Scomodissimo - La stanza era davvero troppo piccola, era impossibile muoversi, o anche solo aprire la porta avendo una valigia. Ero pronta a dovermi adattare, ma semplicemente non è una stanza adatta ad ospitare 2 persone. La cosa peggiore è stato vedere che altre stanze simili allo stesso costo avevano quanto meno lo spazio per aprire la porta senza impazzire.
Non sono fornite ciabattine, cosa che in Giappone è la normalità.
Anche la posizione non è così comoda, lontano dalle stazioni.
- Live (9/5): Clean, but really small rooms. - Great personell, clean, but really small rooms. Nice cafe in the resection. It is a 20 min walk to Shibuya station.
- sam (10/5): -
- Ren (5/5): Recommend for heavy sleepers with a small budget who want to walk home after a night out in shibuya and who don’t mind - Space wasn’t wasted. The stairs double as shoe cabinets. The shower was clean. They offer towels, there was somewhere to lock items by the bed. This place is walking distance to shibuya It smelled like feet. (Someone commented earlier that it smelled like feet but that maybe it was a fluke, but it smelled like feet for me too…)
The sound really carries in the dorm and there are SO many ppl in the dorm.
- Shogo (7/5): -
- Maria Angela (10/5): Excelente relación precio calidad - La ubicación es excepcional, muy buenas las instalaciones .
- Bouchfaa (5/5): -
- Bouchard (10/5): Séjour hostel à Shibuya - Super auberge bien situé et le personnel super gentille et qui organise des activités !:)
- Emil (10/5): - Vibe was great and staff were so friendly. Definitely recomend if you want a place to stay in Tokyo for not that much money. Its a bit further away from the main area of Shibuya than expected but whatever.
- Marcos (1/5): There are better places with better prices nearby - Nothing to like about it Was informed that I could change my dates and after that I was charged full price and was not able to change dates
- Majed (7/5): My second time - Location Clean and noisy sometimes
- Ivan (8/5): Recomendable - La ubicación magnífica
El precio inmejorable
Baños y duchas limpias
Calefacción de la habitación muy bien Tamaño de la habitación de te puede hacer un poco pequeña
- Lachlan (8/5): -
- Megan (10/5): - I booked a private room with my partner and was surprised at how spacious the room was. We had a shared bathroom but our own sink in the room and enough room for a quick yoga session or some pushups. This was our second time in Tokyo and we loved the location.
- William (9/5): Fun time - I don’t stay in hostels ever but it was very accommodating towards anyone This one guy would not a stop clapping when I was going to bed. I think he was tryna turn the lights off in his bed? Great place and employees but be prepared for it being a hostel to the max.
- Cameron (8/5): -
- Michael (1/5): Rip off - Room was inadequate unacceptable and completely overpriced. They have tried to cram a bunk bed into a tiny coffin of a room and not thought through actually trying to stay in the room at all. Its not practical to rent out a room like this and the 8000 yen price is a scam because photos of this room are not shown. Besides this the customer service was hit and miss and bit defensive at times (probably because of the frequent complaints). But telling us to keep our luggage in the luggage area downstairs which is not secured and to take what we need from our bags to our private room is not a suitable solution for a $8000 yen a night room. Poor location. Have to pay 2000 yen or something to check in before 4pm (only hotel in the world probably). No breakfast or tea or coffee offered. So many great cheap budget hostels in tokyo offering 5 star service why stay here?
- Jessie (10/5): -
- Cassidy (8/5): - Great price, great location
- Blanca (6/5): -
- yuzuki (10/5): - シンプルかつ、とても綺麗に整っていた。
4人部屋を利用させていただいたのですが、狭過ぎずにちょうど良いサイズの落ち着く空間でした。
- JHIH YAN (8/5): - CP值高
- Jacob (9/5): Fantastic - Staff was friendly and great location. Living quarters could have been cleaned more frequently but understand there are many guests coming and going.
- Quentin (8/5): -
- Taryn (9/5): Overall good stay. Need some small for bags somewhere though. - The location was great, happy hour was a nice addition. Lots of toilets on each floor and a women’s only toilet section. Bed was comfy enough. 0 space for any bags in your room.
