In one word good


90%

Great find with perfect directions. It's not too far from the train and worth it. A relaxed place with good internet and friendly staff. They don't have bag storage but I left mine in the stairwell (following suit from others) with a lock on it while I went off for the day and it wasn't stolen, yay! Not really walkable to anything, although I walked from Asakusa and it was a bit of a trek.

I had to stay with North American and European racists, although the hotel was excellent cost performance. I've never imagined to have Asian discrimination in an Asian country, and it was unpleasant experience.

Really enjoyed my stay here, room was comfortable and the staff were just amazing with everything. I had a horrible flight into Tokyo and they did everything possible to get my a bed as soon as possible to sleep. Thank you all very much

Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are so pleased to hear our service met your satisfaction. Though we set check in time as at 16:00, we let guests check in as soon as they arrive if the bed is open. We understand you get tired after a long flight. We hope you had some great time in Tokyo, and the rest of your travels went well. If you have a chance to visit Tokyo again, we will be glad to welcome you as our guest again. Thank you! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Tokyo was my first and last stop in Japan and I spent all my nights at Anne Hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful and had some good suggestions on places to go. Breakfast being provided meant that I did not have to worry about getting food first thing in the morning. My only (small) complaint is that the pillows and mattress were a bit flat, though the blanket provided was thick enough to make up for it. Overall, a fantastic stay.

Overall a good place to stay with a good location. My only complaint would be that some staff members seemed a bit put off when you asked them a question. Most of the time, though, the staff was helpful and informative.

Rather busy hostel which is great if you wish to meet other travellers. Location is within walking distance to Akihibara and Asakusa which was convenient. The staff were incredibly helpful with directions and translations despite being over stretched with the attention of many guests. The breakfast was simple but it was enough and I liked that it brought together everyone to share plans for the day.

Thank you very much for choosing Anne Hostel Asakusabashi for your stay in Tokyo, and your positive feedback! Location is excellent, if you plan to visit old part of Tokyo such as Asakusa/Ueno. It sounds like you enjoyed staying with us, and met some nice people here. Many of those who are staying at Anne are single travelers, expecting to meet other travelers. We hope our breakfast may be one of the opportunities for them. Thanks again for your stay, and have a safe trip! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Pros: very friendly staff, lots of info about Tokyo neighborhoods, travel, surrounding areas, etc., good location near JR line and Asakusa line. Cons: entire hostel is extremely cramped (dorms and common area for example, front desk is in a high traffic area and there is no space to maneuver, baggage storage is in the stairwell), internet is a little spotty, dorm beds were not very comfortable. Overall a so-so/decent option in Tokyo.

I had a great time, the traditional Japanese room was beautiful and spacious for three people, there was a comfortable Japanese-style living room area, provided breakfasts, maps and information on all the tourist sites (and available tours, I believe). Much more than one would expect from a hostel!

Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are so happy to hear you had a great stay with us, and you liked our Japanese style room. Not many hostels have a Japanese style room. Anne Hostel staff are always willing to help our guests out, to make sure you have a wonderful time in Tokyo. Especially if this is your first time in Tokyo, it is a good way to start your holiday by asking us what to do or how to get. We will be great to see you again when you are back! Thanks again for your stay at Anne. Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Great that the hostel offered breakfast, though one two-slice toaster for the entire hostel is a bit light.. Be prepared to wait for toast. Also, having a room for luggage storage would be good, doeswheren't feel that safe leaving your bags in the stairwell where anyone off the street could get In

Very clean facilities with welcoming staff who were more then happy to help. The included breakfast each day was delicious and well layed out, free coffe and tea all day. Dining tables were 'Westerner' friendly and the elevator was very convinient. Plenty of toilet and shower facilties and kitchen area, only lacking a laundry, however you can pay the staff to do your washing for you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment! Your comments are really appreciated to improve our service and facilities. We are the only hostels in Tokyo that offers free breakfast, and we are really happy to see everyone in the morning in our lounge room. It is very cold in Tokyo now, so we want you to warm up with a cup of hot tea when you come back from a long day exploring. Our laundry service help guests save time as you do not have to walk to the laundry place and wait for hours. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks again for choosing Anne Hostel, and hope to see you again! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi
