My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Khaosan Tokyo Annex. Our room was nice and the accommodations were more than satisfactory. We appreciated the free coffee and tea and all the fliers and information about places to see and things to do around Tokyo. The hostel staff went out of their way to help me find information about kabuki shows and sumo practices. They printed me maps and gave me everything I needed. I really appreciated their helpfulness and cheerfulness. Keep up the good work!!

Very good hostel, definitely recommended. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is good, rooms extremely clean and comfortable. I slept better at Khaosan than I normally do at home!

Terrible location, we originally staying 'Ninja' which is much better and on V. useful JR line. Definately recommend Khaosan Ninja over the others!!! One toilet between around 50 people on a level is very inconvenient and showers were tiny. Rooms were filthy, looked like they had not been cleaned in months and not enough room for backpacks. Beds might as well have not had mattresses.

Khaosan Annex is a very nice hostel. it has a decent location in a quiet residential area just a 10 minute waslk away from Asakusa station. It's busy without being too noisy. Staff are helpful, and the place is as clean as you can expect given the traffic this place sees. Only real drawback is (as everyone else has noted), there aren't really enough showers in the hostel. The price is good, too. This seems to be central Tokyo's "value" hostel at the moment.

It was a good value for money hostel. The location is far from the nearest station (asakusa) and facility wise is well equipped but not exactly at its top form (could change the damp futons). I like the capsule beds and the fact that all floors have free wifi without password and more, the hostel provide free PCs with decent speed. For showers, most of the time i need to come to 1st floor as the floor i was in only have one room which inevitably always gull, well it's a minor inconvenience.

It was only my second stay at a hostel, but I loved Khaosan. I took the Tsukuba Express instead of the Ginza Line so I got a little lost from the directions, but I eventually found the big blue bridge. When I arrived, I immediately felt welcome. There were so many people hanging out in the lounge having a good time. The facilities were in pretty good condition and I had a restful sleep. Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night but I would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

The beds were comfortable! Staff was nice. Other guests were nice. Shower water pressure went in and out, but it did the job, so can't complain too much. Had an issue with the outlets in the room, but it was taken care of immediately, so that was nice. Overall, pretty decent stay despite the hard to find location.

Allright choice considering the prices elsewhere in Tokyo. Dull area. Not that special but not much bad things to say about it except that some anoying Morrokan-french guys kept me up all night. Hope you die!

Was a place just for a good night's rest. The mixed dorm had a bit of a stale sweat smell in it, and also the shared showering facilities are far removed from the dorms (imagine staying on the 4th level and having to climb down the stairs to the 1st level to shower) which was a little troublesome, and it's winter now so one just freezes up getting to and fro the showers. But nevertheless, the staff were excellent, very polite and helpful as of all Japanese and the place was very clean.

Thank you for your stay and sorry for your experience. Now we have shower on the 4th floor so you do not need to freeze any more. We will keep making effort to try better facilities and service. We are looking forward to see you soon here.

We didn't spend to much time at the hostel after our rather chilly welcome. Good location and cheap, though the staff could use some lessons in hospitality.

Second time to stay in this hostel and I enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location isn't too bad too, only 10 min from the station. The only downside of it is that the rooms smell a little. I think it's coming from sweat, and no ventilation. And also the dorm room I stayed needed some cleaning. Other than that, I loved the place. They have 2 kitchen, one on the ground floor and another on 4th so I mostly cooked on 4th floor where I stayed, which was handy.

Staying in Khaosan Annex was great and awesome! cos it's pretty easy to communicate with other people and its atmosphere made me comfortable. For me free internet and wi-fi are triple plus! +++ The bar nearby( i forgot its name) was small, yet it was good for me to talk to local ppl.
