Incredible friendly staff in a really nice neighbourhood in Higashi Asakusa. Very clean rooms, free Internet, quiet, I absolutely enjoyed my stay and would recommend it for people with low budget.

When we first saw our japanese room we couldn't believe it. This was the smallest room we ever stayed in. After a few good laughs we adjusted soon. The lady at the front desk is friendly, but doesn't speak english very well. You have to be patient to understand each other. Good value for money though. Not in the city center (duhuh) but close to the subway station. No common area. Good showers. Funny to see everybody walking around in their kimono. This means everyone feels at home over there!

It was quit far from the railway station at least you have to walk half an hour. The room was congested, very small, can't even keep your luggage. The staff was not so friendly as they do not know English. Prakash Gambhir Academic Staff College , University of Pune. Maharashtra, India

Warning for travelers! I flew from KL, Malaysia to Tokyo, Japan. I emailed hostel for directions(terrible explanation on website), explained my plane would come in at 10:30pm at night. Never received a reply, sent a follow up email the next morning. Landed in Tokyo, no email. Tokyo is confusing, with out directions needed help of 7 (gracious) locals. Found place at 1am, only to be turned away by lady because @ 12oclock accepted no more people, even with res. Out of writing space for full story

I liked the stay, it seemed quite authentic. An attached Sento for free is always nice. But if you intend to choose this hostel, consider the following things: you need to know Japanese for the staff, you propably won't meet people there because those are single rooms only and it's quite far to the center of Tokyo and the next Subway station (about 10 minutes by foot).

not enough information of how to access in website and that I had to search from google map and old guest\'s writing. No response from hotel upon sending enquiry email. It\'s a bit too far from subway and in case you have to carry things that will cause inconvenience.

Nice room for a good price, alright shower and toilets, but a bit thin walls. Recommended to anyone who needs a cheap place to stay.

The hotel is quite far from the Minami-senju subway station but this is just 15 minutes of walking and this is excellent price and location for Tokyo. No apologies, everything is great, especially traditional rooms and sleeping on mat on floor. Recommended.

I had an excellent time, the environment was worth what I paid for. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who is looking for a good deal.

The people at the desk are friendly and are happy to loan you hair dryers, irons etc. The hostel was quiet and clean and had a tea machine on each floor. There are no common rooms etc so this might not be the place for you if you are looking for a more social experience. There is one shared bathroom with different times for men and women. There are also 2 private shower rooms that are open 24 hours.

This is a lovely hotel. Room was small, but very clean and cozy. There was toilet and hot water machine on each floor. Hostess can speak English, and she was very nice. She was so kind to help me activate my newly bought SIM card. And they have free Wi-Fi! Perfect! The location was a little bit far away from city center, but close to Subway station, Ueno Park and Senso-ji Temple, and the street was quiet, clean and safe. Next time visit Tokyo, I'll still stay in this hotel.

This hotel is in a fantastic location in a very up and coming area of Tokyo, known to locals as 'The Senj.' The hotel itself is close to a bustling station, has up to date facilities, spacious clean rooms and it was an absloute joy staying there. I would recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of coming to Tokyo.

Room smelled like tobacco which i could not stand, however apart from that rather snug rooms. Bit far from the nearest stations though.

A really friendly place, the staff were really welcoming and helpful to us. The price is very cheap, and what you get is very basic. We got a double room, and it was very tiny, totally filled by the futon. TV & heater worked well. There are 2 showers, and 1 hairdryer so we had to wait. Things were generally clean, but not spotless. There were a few shady sort of characters (single men) there that scared us a little! But we had no trouble at all. Would maybe stay again. Fine for sleeping!
