Staff were very kind and helpful. My only critique would be that the shared bathroom on Level 4 was being fixed and that proved to be a bit inconvenient. Otherwise great!

Amazing Hostel In a Quiet Neighborhood

Amazing place. Everyone who works there is really nice. The beds are big and comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms. Very clean and quiet. I liked the location. It's in a more residential area but with easy train access to Shinduku and other parts of Tokyo. It's walking distance to Senso-ji, which was lovely to walk to for sunrise before the crowds get there. I highly recommend.

One of the better hostels in Tokyo, for the price I payed via Expedia this was a steal. The surrounding area is beautiful with a lot to explore, a 7/11 and Family Mart are located near the hostel and very walkable. The only small issue I had during my stay was the bed and the size of the room, as a 186 cm person could barely fit in the bed and the room was so small that I could even open my luggage on the ground. Other than the room my stay was great and I would greatly recommend to stay here while traveling on a budget.
