Great location in the heart of Asakusa. Neighborhood is "colorful", but still fun. Dorms are decent, with a nice common room. I changed to a private after roommate issues - staff was very accommodating. If getting a private, ask for a Japanese-style room - mine was a bunk bed in a 4-mat room, very cramped!Great location in the heart of Asakusa. Neighborhood is "colorful", but still fun.

This looked a lot more like a gross cheap motel than a hostel when we first arrived. It got better though.This looked a lot more like a gross cheap motel than a hostel when we first arrived. It got better though....Close

The room for 6 was kinda small and squeezed. I wish it was a lot bigger and more spacious like other hostels but I guess it's just cause it's in Tokyo and everything is squeezed, lol. Overall, very satisfactory.The room for 6 was kinda small and squeezed.

This hostel's staff were excellent and helped make our stay carefree, even down to making up beds prior to arrival. It is close to a busy area and transport. Easy to get to main attractions. Very quiet atmosphere and a nice place to relax after a day in Tokyo.This hostel's staff were excellent and helped make our stay carefree, even down to making up beds prior to arrival.

my first impression was bad, then it was my favourite backpackers from the first night. Staff are fun and helpful; people I met had really the "travel vibe". Maybe it doesn't have the best facilities (it's clean), but if you enjoy the real backpacking and meeting nice people it will be a friendly BP especially in the 4 beds dorms floor.my first impression was bad, then it was my favourite backpackers from the first night.

The beds were to hard. The common room is between all the rooms so it's a bit noisy when you go to sleep.The beds were to hard. The common room is between all the rooms so it's a bit noisy when you go to sleep....Close
