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

This is quite a big hostel, has 4 floors. Pluses: + Very good location close to metro, easy access to the Narita Airport. + Quite big room with A/C. + Security lockers, free breakfast. + Clean toilets and showers, a lot of them - no waiting time. Minuses: - Staff not very helpful (info about the city etc.) and sometimes rude. - No many common computers for use (maybe only one). So better bring your own laptop. But there is free wifi.

Dorm room had a bad smell. Mattress was lumpy, could feel the coils. Bad atmosphere, never met any other guests, despite there being a common room. Common room closes at midnight. Laundry is 400 yen, includes drying. Lots of sinks, several shower stalls. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Staff speak English very well. Walk to metro is a little far, but not bad. Left to stay at another hostel. Would not stay here again; there are better places for similar prices.

This was the first hostel I stayed at on my trip through Asia. Looking back on all the places I've stayed throughout Asia, Anne Hostel was the probably the best combination of customer service price and above all, fun! It has a great free breakfast and nice common area that makes it very easy to meet people. Do not hesitate to stay here, you will be satisfied. Thanks Anne Hostel!

Friendly helpful staff, nice little breakfast, great wifi and clean showers and toilet. Good value for money and it is close to Asakusabashi station and there are many places to eat in the area.

We had a fantastic stay at the Anne hostel. After remembering to follow signs for the International Youth Hostel on the first night (the Anne is right around the corner) it was very easy to get to from the Asakusabashi subway stop. The environment inside the hostel was clean and very calm which was perfect for coming back to after days of walking around Tokyo. For live music we found 'The Ruby Room' just West of Shibuya near Villagiulia.

Location was great, just 5 minutes walk from subway station and from there you can get anywhere. Place was clean and the people were friendly. Breakfast in the morning was hard boiled eggs and toast which was amazing! the only issue we had was that the walls are paper thin, so when people stayed up late laughing and talking, it was very difficult to fall asleep.

The Hostel was amazing and I stayed in the traditional tatami mat room and it was exactly what I wanted to experience when i visited Japan again. The breakfast in the mornings was just the icing on the cake and added to the whole experience especially sharing breakfast with other people from all around the world and discussing the best places and things to do with brochures provided by the hostel. I would definitely stay again in the future as it provided me with a memorable holiday :)

Cheap, great location. Breakfast was basic, but better than nothing. =) I didn't feel to safe to put my luggage at the stairs for "safe keeping" though :P Me and my friends had a great stay at this hostel.

Anne hostel is in a good location close to a subway station & therefore easily accessible to anywhere in Tokyo! The first room we stayed in (12 bed dorm) was pretty tiny (the beds were big it was only lacking in floor space!) where as the three bed private was lovely and spacious Japanese style rooms. The toliets and bathrooms were nice and clean. The common room was nice but too small for everyone in the hostel to use at once. The kitchen was well equipped and the staff were nice.

Great hostel! The staff was very fluent in English and helpful, everything was clean and comfortable and I enjoyed having a bathroom that was private. This is also the first time I have ever seen a free breakfast at a hostel (granted it's only eggs and toast, but that's still amazing when on a budget) My only complaint is that there is another hostel just a few blocks away and it can be confusing at night time to tell them apart

Good value, good location for JR rail pass holders. Get a 12 person dorm if you want to have fun, get a 4 person dorm if you want to relax.

Stayed in a 10 bed female dorm, shared bathroom ... The smell was not that bad. I think it is because of the house which is old. The room was ok with lockers. Showers and facilities are a little bit small but also no problem. The only lack is the wi-fi connection ... it is only provided in the common room until midnight :o/ But I have to say if I will be in Tokyo next time I will stay there again ;o)

I always stay in the two bed private dorm next to the shoes and it's quite a smelly area. Also, the door has quite a gap at the bottom meaning you can always hear what's happening outside. The people running the place are always friendly however!
