Every time I’m in Tokyo, I stay here. It’s convenient, decent for the price, and the staff is extremely friendly/helpful. So why stray away from that? Tip is that I upgrade my room to have more space and I blast the AC depending on the time of year I visit. I will always come back to this place. Looooooove it!

Room with bunk bed was small, good for those who are just backpacking or have little luggage. Sink was really small so water ends up getting on the floor alot, but they provide a towel to mop it. Shower smelt a bit like mildew but was otherwise fine. Staff were very friendly and nice.

I had a private room that was meant for a group of people. The space was very large. Great for solo traveler who doesn't want the real hostel experience. Although it was extremely cheaper for the hostel package. I will definitely come back here.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you have absolutely no other option. The building is extremely old and has a strong, unpleasant smell that hits you as soon as you walk in. While I’ll give credit that the bedding was clean, that’s honestly the only positive thing I can say.

Sophiearth is ...only ideal if travelling on a budget, and being based in Shin-Okubo it's a convenient location to easily get to other places in Tokyo, like Shinjuku and Akihabara. The coin laundry works very well.

Great location, good price for somewhere in Shinjuku. It is not super pretty, but has everything you need. Shower was hot, bed was soft and comfortable. The room was non smoking but easily accessible smoking area is in the common area.
