We had a great few days at this hostel. The staff is great, the location is great, the breakfast is everything you need to start your day. Price is also very good since it includes breakfast. Would definitely stay again!

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

Fairly average hostel, staff very friendly and helpful but no decent area to get changed in after a shower or in general when in the mixed dorm and to leave your bag there, it had to sit on the stairwell. Having a breakfast included was a bonus though

Thank you very much for leaving us a comment here! We appreciate any comments to improve our facilities and service. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but if you are staying in a mixed dormitory room then bathroom is the only place to get dressed. If the shower room is not big enough, there is a bigger shower room with a bigger changing room on the 4th floor so please use there. We are glad to know that everything else met your satisfaction. If you have a chance, please come back and stay with us again. 1 night was not long enough to get to know you well. We are looking forward to seeing you again! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusbashi

The hostel was clean and the rooms was relatively large. The breakfast was okej and it was nice that you could have all you can eat. The location is also okej, especially if you are a JR pass holder since you have good access to most of the Tokyo neighbourhoods by the JR line. The only thing i can compain about is that it was really cold at the hostel, especially in the bathroom area. Overall the hostel has good value for the money.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment here! We hope you and your friend had some great time in Tokyo while staying here. Breakfast brings everyone together, and it is great for those who are staying in a private room as well. Staying in Tokyo is expensive, so we are happy if our all-you-can-eat breakfast can help our guests save some money for something else. Regarding the problem, that is partially because we do not have a central heating system in Japan and partially because we are trying to save electricity. However, we will think about having a heater in the shower room. Thank you very much for pointing it out. Take care, and see you again! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

It has been mentioned before, but the fact that the common area closes at 12 is unfortunate. It's not a big thing if you intend to sleep early, but it causes discussions/conflicts with guests who are 'young at heart' sometimes, which is unfortunate. Other than that it's quite adequate, I have no real complaints. I've stayed here several times before, and would stay here again.

Pretty cosy. No locks for luggages but travellers are honest. Breakfast was good and wifi connection was fast.

Thank you very much for choosing Anne Hostel Asakusabashi for your stay in Tokyo. It was so nice for us to have you as our guest! We are pleased to hear you were satisfied with our breakfast and wifi. We provide lockers individually, and guests can use their padlock if they have theirs. However, padlocks can be rent at reception for free of charge! I am pretty sure we have told you about that at check in, but it seems like you did not get the information right. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. If you come back to Tokyo, please come stay with us again! Arigatou! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We are so happy to know your stay with us was a pleasant and comfortable. It was a very last minute reservation, and you could stay with us only for one night, but it was a lot of fun for us to have you as our guest. Guests usually gather in the lounge room for drink, talk and just relax, and as you mentioned we are not really a party hostel. However, there are a lot of restaurants and Izakaya and we would love you to try these places as you are in Japan! If you need any recommendations, feel free to ask our staff anytime. Thanks again for your stay! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

This hostel was really clean, and located very close to a metro station. It was a bit removed from the more touristy areas of Tokyo, but that's actually nice if you are mostly looking to sleep at night. The staff were helpful, and there was a lounge where guests could hang out, as well as free breakfast. There are kind of a lot of rules at this hostel, such as quiet time after midnight, and no eating or drinking anything in the rooms, but again, if you are mostly looking to sleep, it's great!

Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are so happy to know you enjoyed your stay with us at Anne Hostel Asakusabashi. As you mentioned, we have a lot of rules as we are a hostel, not a hotel. We want guests to be respectful and considerable, so that everyone can have nice and comfortable stay. If you have food to eat, come to the lounge room and meet other guests and have fun together! We are conveniently located, Akihabara and Asakusa are within walking distance. For shopping, you can reach to Ginza and Shinjuku with a direct train. Only when you look for a party, famous night life district such as Roppongi is a little far, 25 mins away. We still hope you had a nice party during weekend in Tokyo! Thank you again for staying with us. Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

The best hostel I have stayed in. The breakfast was a perfect way to start the day and also a nice way to get to socialise with the other guests. The atmosphere was very sociable and the staff (in particular the one girl we got chatting to on our final morning, I'm sorry but I didn't catch your name!) were friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect - every major sight is only a short train ride away. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and have in fact already booked for my next trip!

Nice hostel. Easy to get to. Rooms were fine, small communal area, not a bad place to post up in Tokyo.

Thank you very much for your recent stay at Anne Hostel Asakusabashi. We are pleased to hear we met your satisfaction except for the facilities. As you have already noticed during your holiday here, everything is tiny in Japan and these shower rooms can be small for some travelers. We have one shower room that is bigger than others on the 4th floor, so please try it next time. It has a bath tub as well! It was nice talking to you, and we would like to thank you again for choosing Anne Hostel for your stay in Tokyo. Safe trip! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Thank you very much for staying with us at Anne Hostel Asakusabashi. It was a pleasure for us to have you here as our guest for nearly a week. Hope you had some great time in Tokyo, and new year's eve! Because those dryers are attached to the wall and it is not easy to replace them, we decided to have an extra dryer which can be hired at reception for free of charge. Thank you very much for pointing it out. We hope to see you again sometime in the future. Take care! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

This was my first time staying at a hostel, but I felt like it was a great experience. The Anne hostel had a pretty sweet location (one stop from Akihabara), the staff were really friendly, and the place was always clean. They also had a good system for allowing people to come home late, just enter a security code and you can come inside. If I go back to Tokyo I wouldn't bother looking for a different hostel. Anne hostel satisfied my expectations completely.

Thank you very much for your positive feedback! It was really nice talking with you, you were always so nice and friendly to other guests and stuff as well. The night we played monopoly was so much fun! Though unfortunately I could not see you before you checked out, I hope the rest of your travels went well. We are glad to know that your first experience at Hostel was with us, and you really enjoyed staying with us. You are more than welcome to come back and stay with us again. Arigatou!

Its a nice hostel, included breakfast is awesome. But the common room is a little too small for all the people.

Thank you very much for staying with us at Anne Hostel Asaksuabashi. We hope your stay with us was a pleasant and comfortable one. It was very busy when you were here, and a lot of people seemed to prefer to stay hostel and talk to their family or other guests at lounge. Spending Christmas in Japan was probably a very different experience for you. I am not sure if you happened to stay over the new years eve in Japan, but hope you did, because it is even more interesting! Thanks again for your stay, and we are looking forward to seeing you again in the future! Kazuna, Anne Hostel Asakusabashi

Not bad, not great. Close to Asakusabashi station. Nowhere to securely store luggage. There are plenty of better options, but this hostel has convenient vacancies.

Staff couldn't actually help travelers solve their problems. And every time when I asked staff for something, they felt like bothered.
