The staff were especially helpful and friendly, particularly after our friend dislocated his knee. The hostel was up there with the best I have stayed in.

I really enjoyed my stay at this Hostel. I stayed in a lot of Hostels and I have to say that I havnt seen such a nice and helpful staff. Also the facilities were very clean. I only disagree with the good location. Of course its a very nice area with a nice temple and shrine close to it. And you have two subway stations pretty close to it. BUT for young people, people who want to go out and enjoy some bars or clubs is this area pretty lame...Although: Thanks a lot!

I have stayed at this hostel a few times whilst passing through Tokyo. the beauty of this hostel is the location. It is in a little back street fifty meters from the Kuramae Station on the Odeo line. The other bonus is 7-11 is thirty meters down the road and lawson is one hundred meters in the other direction. The hostel is nicely layer out on the bottom floor with a generous common area, small but adequate kitche, plenty of fridge room and a small tatami matt area. Staff awesome, Asakusa great.

This has been one of the smartest choices ever done. Great located (subway, convenience stores , post, ATM... in less than a minute walk). The stuff is just great! Lots of activities to gather people and have fun... Loved it! I`ll definitely be back. Cheers, Tio Pepe

Can't go wrong with this hostel. Staff were super friendly and provided lots of info on the area - and Tokyo in general. 15min walk to the JR station but right near 2 subway lines, close to lots of resteraunts and a temple just down the road. The room and common areas were very clean and lockers are available - byo lock. Well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge, free tea and coffee and cheap laundry. Lots of international travelers made for a friendly social atmosphere. Great base to explore Tokyo!

Friendly and helpful staff. Good size of room but it smelt a bit damp. Kitchen could be bigger and better equipped.

Excellent hostel again from the K's House hostels. Incredibly clean, very friendly, great atmosphere. Next to two subway line stations making it an easy choice for access to anywhere around Tokyo. Walkable to Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa too!

This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed out. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They had 2 free parties for guests during our stay. The hostel is also incredibly clean and had excellent showers. The location is a bit out of the city center, but within a 2 minute walk of two of the most useful subway lines in the city, making it very easy to get just about anywhere. I would highly recommend staying here.

Best hostel I have stayed in. Clean, insanely friendly staff and great social bar where people will readily dispense information on Japanese language/culture/character. Gloriously free of the Roppongi crowd seen at the sibling hostel in Tokyo.

Brilliant hostel. The cleanest I've ever stayed in. One morning I got up to find people scrubbing around the backs of the toilet. The lounge area had a good atmosphere and the staff were great. They helped me find a quick train to Haneda when I was late leaving for a plane. Would recommend to everyone.
