Unfortunately my bunk bed was extremely uncomfortable and shaky (i stayed in the top room). Wifi reception was poor up here. The common room is good and staff are friendly (not always helpful though), and the place is very clean. They charge money for showers (just add it to the room charge rather than hiding this cost!). Located in boring suburban Tokyo (bike riders and old alcoholics) but reasonably close to Ginza and Tokyo station. It's decent value but i wouldn't recommend over Asakusa area.

Wonderful people here who really will make such a great effort for you. Thanks to Kazume for finding me a bar showing the football at 5am and coming with me! Thanks to Nicholas for always being super helpful and to the owner and Grandma. This really is a family Inn because I felt like I was with family. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing stay in Tokyo. Take care all and hope to see you again soon.

I just stayed one night but I will definitely come back. I was lucky enough to even get some free homemade okonomiyaki. The staff is really helpful and friendly and you can see that a lot of love was put into decorating this hostel eg. the awesome Hello Kitty themed toilet.

Really lovely place. a little far from the train station if you have to carry heavy bags, but otherwise a short walk. Quiet and peaceful, very friendly staff.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hostel. It was very clean and we felt very relaxed during our stay. The staff was extremely helpful and it was decorated in a very charming way. Some other reviewers have commented about the pay showers but it was really not an inconvenience. Also, the location is not exactly in the hustle and bustle of the busier neighborhoods but it is certainly not out of the way. It's very easy to access any of the popular tourist spots via Ueno station. Would stay again.

I thought this place was ok, a little cold at night in the single room though. I didn't like staying on the 3rd floor and showering (and paying for the privilage!) on the first floor walking past reception and lobby. Some interesting, quirky things in and found the option to rent video games etc a cool thing but, for me, the whole place was trying a bit too hard to be cool....

Hello Neil, thank you for the taking the time to leave a review and sorry few things were not to your liking. I promise we will try to remove all stairs and build the inn only on the ground floor. There is an air- conditioning unit in each room: when you press ON, warm air comes out to keep you toasted! Regarding the shower, unfortunately, there is not much we can do, but that is clearly written on the description of this and our website, so that you know about it when you book! As to your reference to being "cool" (whatever that means…), if you perceived us that way and if you think that is bad, then….then nothing, because I cannot change your perception. The only thing we do try very hard, is pleasing our guests, so please send me your suggestions and we will try to improve. Thanks again; Raoul

I thought the staff were excellent friendly and very helpful, but the accommodation was a little difficult for an older person who had to struggle with a suitcase up and down stairs, and also to go to the showers on the ground floor rather than the same floor. Overall atmosphere of the place was very pleasant and which ultimately sent me back to the hotel again for another stay. The washing machine and driers need repair or replaced as they do not wash well and do not dry at all.

The hostel is about 10 mins walk from the metro station. There no elevator inside and one will need to make a great effort to go upstairs along with their luggage if their room is on the second or third floor and unfortunely we are the lucky one. For shower u need to input 100 yen coins for every 5 mins shower and that's why normally you don't need to queue to take shower. Moreover there is no room service for our two days stay. Put those things behind the hostel is value for money.

Good morning Pui Yin Keung. Thank you for staying with us and for leaving your valuable comment. Everything you found at the hostel is clearly described on this -and our- website; that way no-one has surprises. It is saddening that you should leave such a negative review when you, and only you, decided to book with us. Still, I hope we can welcome you another time and offer you our walm welcome. Raoul

I want to be honest . I figured out that people's reviews are not honest. I also carefully chose this horrible one based on high rates and good comments people leaved for a purpose- to get a free breakfast upon agreement with hostel Genaral manager!!! T I am totally disappointed .Think back, I am feeling hostel owner try to make up terrible condition of staying with his his nice manners. Considering price I paid, it is awful, lowest points I can give

I really enjoyed my stay! Here i point some reasons: - It´s easy to get to the Aizuya inn from the metro station and near this station has a plenty of places to eat (mc donalds, Denny´s, Burguer King and many many others) and a Lawson shop; - There´s a Seven Eleven and a many markets near the Inn; - A bar with a good price breakfast and with discounts for those who stay at the Inn just around the corner; - With a shorty walk you get to a wonderful places like Asakusa temple and Tokyo Sky Tree;

Hi Viktor, thank you for leaving a comment. "Boring neighbourhood" is not exactly true. "Quiet" or "calm" would define it better. But in any case, there is a map on this website -and ours- so you can look at it before you book. I suggest you do a bit of search before your bext booking, to avoid disappointment. Have a good trip, Raoul

This is a cute hostel offering good facilities for a very reasonable price. The hostel is a bit of a train ride from some of the more central attractions in Tokyo, however. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and everything was very well taken care of. Staff was very accommodating. My only complaint was that there was no soap in the sinks on the 3rd floor washroom, and the hot water wasn't working in one of the sinks, but these are easily remedied.

Good morning Jessica. Thank you for taking the time to leave the review. I am sorry the sink was out of order and there was no soap when you stayed. Indeed, it is easily remedied, and it has been taken care of. See you again,Raoul

Excellent choice for a stay in Tokyo, I especially love the traditional-style rooms and Japanese memorabilia everywhere. Minima-Senju is also a fantastic area of the city

My stay was amazing. Raul (the manager) was so helpful and kind. The other Japanes lady was so helpful also (other manager). However, I wish that they could extend the shower timing from 5min/100 yen to 7min/100 yen. Excellent hostel.
