JGH Tokyo Reviews

It is definitely a tight fit, but the people you meet there are friendly and fun to be around. You have everything you need within the area. It is a decent distance from the airport, but not difficult to get to.

Despite the cramped nature of the hostel and a lack of privacy and security for belongings, I had a great experience at JGH! I met wonderful people and had a blast getting to know so many others. This hostel is the one I found to be most conducive to meeting other travelers and getting to know people!

You got what u paid for...but there are good food around and not to far from the station.not really for staying around but good for sleep and go,its very affordable.

awsome ^o^

Good value, but beware that space is very limited there. Easy to get to central Tokyo from the train station near the hostel.

Mieko-san was very welcoming and she spoke english, so there was no language barrier at all. The people I met were all friendly as well, like "oh hi" and "good morning", it gave the hostel a real friendly feel. The hostel is small, maybe b'cos i haven't stayed in one before, but i thought it's do-able for the price. Everyone was considerate of each other re use of WC and shower, as well as past 10pm. Location wise really near the station but the station itself isn't really near central Tokyo.

the hotel staff are very friendly and eventhought it is a small space i still feel comfortable

By far the worst hostel we have stayed at.You are literally laying on a piece of plywood with a sheet on top. The walls are dividers so you hear everything. Also, the sound from the common area carries right into the rooms until drinking stops at 4 or 5 am.Kitchens have hardly any supplies and bathrooms filthy. Staff barely spoke English.Our beds shook when a big truck would drive by. It is 1hour by train to almost all destinations. Anyone can walk by and steal your bag if stored during the day.

This place is very tiny but it makes it cute. Wifi is ok , it is clean , the staff is pretty nice. At night , it is noisy as most of people don't respect feelings of others guests! That is pity , because it could be very nice place to stay and very quiet as well ;). The staff need to work on that point more seriously ;). It is located at 5 minutes walk from the metro station and 30 minutes from the center by train. Many cheap shops around where you can buy food...

Very tiny hostel but it is a cute place to stay if you don't want to spend too much money for your accomodation in Tokyo ... It is very noisy at night as most of other guests don't respect feelings of others ... That's pity ! It is located near to the train station and about 30 minutes by train to the center of Tokyo ...

great hostel for a great price in tokyo :)

very very tiny room and only one bathroon for one floor. but excellent staff.

surprisingly comfortable for being so compact.

We apparently booked a room type we didn't like, but the staff was very helpful and considerate in getting us a different room which was really nice.

The size of the "beds" was too funny to be astonished about. Put it simply, expect a bed like in a capsule hotel and go there more for the fun of telling the tale than else. After all, Tokyo is famous for the capsule experience and this is cheaper than capsule hotels. I do recommend the place. Space available nonetheless, It is friendly, traveller-oriented, and the staff is great at helping you. Not central, but the subway is very convenient and local eateries are a real bargain.

I highly recommend this hostel! The rooms are quite small, but what do you expect for such a great price? It's not a particularly flash or stylish place but it certainly has character and a great atmosphere. The staff are also fantastic! It is close to the train station and there is a Laundromat 30m away.

one of the cheapest hostel in tokyo..even its very limited spaces..but it enough for a backpackers to have rest n refreshment..

There are notes left from happy customers who say how friendly the staff are, but when I got in they gave me the standard run down and then seemed to be hiding for the rest of the time I was there. I was told to talk to the owner if I wanted to know anything other than the standard intro.... There are also notes saying why things are a certain way including for the last person in to lock the door--how do you know if youre last in? I left at 415am and the door was unlocked. Rooms are freezing.

The hostel was very cheap. It took about 30 minutes to get to the heart of the city by train. The rooms and beds were very small, there were only 2 showers in the whole hostel, but everything was clean. The staff was very friendly and answered many questions for us. Overall, it was a good experience.

price is very good, but you very very little place to sleep and you have no place for your backpack and own things
