Anne Hostel Asakusabashi Reviews

Good location, near the station, and you can stop by at some konbini on the way. The staff can speak understandable english and super nice. The bathrooms were small/typical size for Japanese but they're clean. Bed is comfy, and they have lockers inside the room. The common room on 4th floor is good but it's always full. Public PCs weren't very good, so, better bring your own laptop. Overall they provide pretty satisfying standard facilities for hostels. Oh, and yay free breakfast & wifi :D

We stayed in the hostel for three nights, and had a room on the fourth floor. The biggest problem we had was the noise coming from the lounge when we were trying to sleep. Only other comment is that the bathroom was very small. Loved the location- right next to Akihabara!

Staff was kind and welcoming.

This is a very typical hostel you'd find in any city around the world. It has a college dorm feeling to it - florescent lighting on through the night in the halls and commercial grade carpeting. I'd suggest sleeping on the tatami mats to give you some feeling of culture and the western mattresses were not much better. Public computers, leftover supplies (soaps, hair dryers, etc.) to borrow, and wi-fi were nice. The hosts didn't have that overly friendly Japanese hospitality, but they were nice.

Good hostel, comfortable beds. Good location near metro station. All pretty clean.

I didn't really appreciate the 'fine' system. Arbitrary fines for random offenses did not portray a warm and friendly establishment.

Not the most luxurious or even comfortable place, but I was extremely happy with the location and the free breakfast.

Very good for meeting people, if your a solo traveller like me. Is a hostel but still very Japanese, only place that gave free breakfast, so far. Egg and Toast.

Clean hostel, adequate showers and for a small deposit they provide a lock so you are able to lock away your valuables. The hostel is very well situated to get to and from the airport, and the free breakfast is an added extra that you are not able to get elsewhere.

Good clean hostel with not too much noise - a bit of jam at breakfast would be nice!!

Trains close at midnight so if you're planning to party late often somewhere far from this location then you might want to find somewhere else. For someone who wasn't like myself this place was excellent. 5 minute walk from the subway and JR line. 7-11 right around the corner. I really liked the location cause of the few restaurants I could go to and point at pictures. The hostel is really clean especially the washrooms. A very comfortable atmosphere. No curfew. I would stay again.

Great location, and very cheap considering we had a free breakfast (eggs and toast) every morning. No need to stay in busier parts of the city as they are very accessible by train/subway. If you want to party every night and want to come home before 5am then I would stay somewhere closer to Shibuya/Roppongi as the trains do not run from 12am - 5am and taxis are quite expensive to get back to Anne's. Good bars/restaurants close to the hostel though! A+ stay

Clean and affordable (for expensive Tokyo at least) place to stay.

Staff was not good. The owner of the administrator was not gentle.

Decently priced hostel in Tokyo at $25 per night for the 12-bed mixed dorm. Nice common area with communal tables and simple breakfast offerings of toast, eggs, coffee, and tea. A short walk from the JR station and yellow line, it was easy to reach many of the city's main sites in Ueno Park, Akhihabara, Asakusa, Ginza, Tsukiji, and Ryogoku.

I had a great time at this hostel. It was clean, internet connection was good and the common area is very conducive to meeting people. The directions that are given were easy and I had no problem finding the hostel. I additionally followed the youth hostel signs and was able to find it. Its very close to the metro and easy to get to from the airport.

pros-good location, easy to find and good directions. Staff are nice, wifi is quick and everything is very clean. cons-dorms are very small, you have to put your bag on a specially built table on your bunk so i never got comfortable. also the mattresses were horrible, lots of springs raking you in the back. common room was ok, pretty small and not much of an atmosphere. due to size of room and comfort i would not stay here again,

The hostel was surprisingly easy to fimd, taking into consideration all the information provided beforehand. I think its well worth mentioning that presently the Asakusa Line is providing a direct connection from both airports, Narita and Haneda, to Asakusabashi. So there is no transfer to different lines necessary as everywhere provided. Besides that staff was were friendly and we felt home at once. Especially the Showers were very clean. The Bunkbeds could be polstered a little better though

A really nice hostel and an awesome location.

Great, except for the computers provided for travellers - witnessed many problems with them.
