Hotel Kawase Tokyo and Capsule Reviews

it is really dirty. dirty smell on bed, dirty smell in washing room. only 2 bathrooms are provided. only 2 computers are available. the staff can hardly speak in english ....it's a nightmare...

I had a great time in kawase, the capsules were huge and super comfortable

Good for the money and great location, but you are not doping anything else there then sleeping. They can't speak English

Nice for a single backpacker who only wants a bed and a shower. Aside from that there isnt much it has to offer. Good location (however its NOT located near a JR station so rail pass users will have to pay 160 yen each way on the subway to get to ueno). Can be a bit dust at times and might need a paint job but its fine for someone who doesnt expect much. There isnt much social scene here, the common room is nice but nobody really goes into it.

Kawase is consistantly a very good value for Your money. It is likely You will not find a cheaper place to stay that is in a central area of Tokyo. The Metro subway station is less than 5 minutes walk and will get you to any place in Tokyo. You are also extremely close to many small and relatively cheap restaurants and the famous Asakusa shrine.The capsules are dated but clean, You have access to a common room, [w/ small kitchen] showers and bathrooms. Free internet works well, too. My 6th stay!

It's a great cheap place to stay.

Just keep it up

There is something interesting about this hostel (other than probably the cheapest prices in Asakusa) because it looks old and run-down and dirty but it really gets to feeling like a little home after a couple of days... It´s very enjoyable and I would recommend it for the budget traveler. (The male/female dorms are actually capsules)

The bed was very dirty.

It was a really convenient place to stay in, very interesting neighborhood and right beside the subway station which is easily accessible from both airports. I was bit hesitant about the staff at first, but they were really friendly and made us feel quite welcome. Cleanliness is perhaps a tad bit of an issue because of the lack of proper washrooms. But then again, for the price, and the location, is place is a steal. Will definitely stay there again!

nicely located hostel. you can take a direct train from narita airport to asakusa. the staff is also nice. i stayed in the capsule type room and the other guests are also friendly:)

toilet is smelly, bed even had bugs when i sleep, but the linen is clean. the room is old and dirty. they have security camera in the room, not sure whether is to secure the locker ( there are locker in the room) or what? the kitchen area open space is a very good place to gather. big TV and satellite channel. free coffee tea, microwave, hot water, freezer to use. the location is superb, with the price of this in Tokyo, i guess that's what you will get.

Location was extremely good! i would totlaly recommend this place. Capsule was not really clean..staff was really awesome too.

I just had a bad vibe. Got all the essential amenities, but it just kinda grossed me out. I really did not enjoy it here.

Perfect location, good facilities and really cheap. I can\'t find any reasonable excuse to regret staying here. Recommended! :)

It was very near from the metro station and cheap but really grimy !

Subway station is quite near. Simple and clean, very nice.

The staff (lady) is excellent. She is so happy every day that makes me happy too. She is so great that she taught me some Japanese. It is just like I am at home. It is so memorable for my trip in Japan. The location is excellent as it is so close to Sensoji Temple and Subway Station (Asakusa). It saves a lot time on travelling. 1700 Yen for the dorm is extremely competitive and value for money. Only drawback is the cleanliness as it does not look like clean enough.

It would be better if this hostel offers left luggage service even if we pay for it.

The staff here is great. One of lowest cost hostels in Tokyo, but far away from the action.
