The hostel was amazing. I had a great time in tokyo and i believe aizuya is to blame. I thank raul and the staff for all the suggestions and cannot wait to stay there again.

Awesome place! I've stayed in a lot of hotels around the world, this wins the award for value for money: It actually combines cleanliness with friendliness, good service and the tightest budget. Next time I'm in Japan, I'l be back. Ps, get the 50 yen breakfast!

Like the other reviews said, it was super clean. I've seen dingy hostels before but this one was really well kept. The only tiny hiccup was that the wireless was weak on the 3rd floor but it's fine on the lower levels. Also, for 100 yen/5 min showers I'd like some less-watered down soap/shampoo but it wasn't a big deal. Everything else was perfect. The staff was super nice and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

10 minutes walk from the metro, a little far out but still in a good location. Very Japanese style of bedroom, very nice and clean. Downside you need to pay 100 Yen for 5 minutes in the shower, so unless you rush you might want to find another hostel similaly priced with free shower facilities!

The Aizuya inn was so great, the staff are very friendly and knowledgable about what there is to do in tokyo the facilities are excellent, five showers, two washers and dryers, nice kitchen, at least two toilets per floor and a nice common room for hanging out. The only bad things I can say about it are superficial, the door is locked by 12:30 but you can get a key for it in advance if you think you'll stay out late and the wifi deteriorates once you get to the third floor.

It was a good place to stay. The shower situation is annoying more than anything (5 minutes for 100 yen) but it is manageable. They should change it to 100 yen for 8 minutes or something. The other thing that was the cleanliness of the actual bed pad and sheets. Although i saw them clean the rooms frequently there were stains and things on the pad but I think one can easily get passed it.

i love this hostel so much, full of japanses traditional character. The decorations are cute and fruitful. Even washrooms are decoratered stylishly and uniquely. Staff are nice and helpful. They taught me how to go to Narita airport with the cheapest transpirt detaily. Room size is acceptable and it is tidy and clean. I took a lot of photos in the hostel and will definitely recommend it to my friends.

It was a little challenging to find, even following the instructions from the reservation. However, when we got there we found it to be a cozy little hostel that we enjoyed staying in. The coin-operated showers were as inconvenient as I initially thought they would be, though. ¥100 for 5 minutes seems a bit too little for too much. A couple more minutes would've been a better deal. Other than that, it was actually very nice.

very helpful staff. I booked a single room and got a 3-tatami, I wouldn't expect more for this price in an expensive city like tokyo. Only problem is that the place is somewhat hidden in a narrow road, people who are not familiar with chinese or japanese characters may have some difficulty finding the place. Would stay in it again if I ever visit tokyo again.

Very good hostel, private rooms in Tokyo for a very good price. Will definitely stay again, only slight annoyance was the 100Y coin operated showers which only last 5 mins. Everything else was great.

Amazing and cheap place that really made you feel like you somehow really live in Tokyo because of the location. Will definitely be coming back here for future stays. My only complaint would be that the rooms themselves felt very dusty (?) and there would be dust all over my clothes if I didn't keep them inside my packing instead of letting them hang on hangers. It's a very minor complaint though, as Aizuya Inn is really awesome!

Raoul & the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the place is spotless, with a big emphasis on being "green" (check out the toilets where you can wash your hands using the water filling the cistern). This working class area is not the most appealing as far as nightlife and restaurants, though they have opened a separate premises which serves food and drink so Aizuya is being an agent of change. However, transport is excellent and you can easily get to most other interesting parts of Tokyo.

Friendly atmosphere, clean and neat rooms - both the Japanese style privates and dorm rooms, kind and professional staff, interesting location. Without much exaggeration, I could say I am a regular to this place and Aizuya Inn will be the clear choice on my next trips too.
