Had a fantastic stay at all of the Khaosans we stayed at in Kyoto & Tokyo over the Christmas period. Always clean, facilities are great in the shared areas, showers are always hot and the beds are comfy. Need nothing more! Ninja does feel a bit out of the way n comparison to the other Khaosans. The common area is in the basement and doesnt feel as comfortable to chill out - would recommend over the others only if you want a really quiet stay.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We are very glad to know you stayed at several different Khaosan branches and enjoyed them. NINJA is located in Asakusabashi/Bakurocho area away from other branches. Our common room in in the basement, but it does not mean NINJA is always quiet. Many guests usually meet each other and hang out together in the common room as they do in other Khaosans. We hope to see you again in the future. Thank you very much.

Great hostel! The capsule dorms are great! Gives you some personal space that is often so rare in a hostel. Good location close to 2 station. Staff were very friendly and place was constantly very clean!

Location is a bit far out from "central" happening Tokyo, but the hostel itself is very close to two JR and local train stations. It is in a safe but quiet area with plenty of food within 5 mins walk. The general area is very quiet at night and is more of an office area. We stayed 3 nights in a twin private which smelt like wet socks and wasn't super clean. Common showers and toilets were clean. It was by no means a horrid place to stay, but I would only rate the overall experience a 7/10.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. NINJA is located in a quiet business district. There are no night clubs but plenty of restaurants and bars around the hostel. I hope you enjoyed peaceful atmosphere. We are sorry about the smell in the room. We will try to solve the problem soon. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Thank you very much.

Incredible hostel! Everyone on the staff was so incredibly friendly, and they threw a great pre-Christmas party with delicious takoyaki. The location is great, it's right near two convenient subway lines and only a 15 minute walk from Akihabara. Absolutely loved it here!

Our private 2-person room was comfortable and clean enough, but we didn't find the staff to be very friedly or helpful when we asked for advice about the Tokyo events they had listed on their whiteboard. One of the nights our sleep was disturbed due to noisy people on our floor until very late. The 4 computers at reception are free to use which was handy. Fairly convenient location for getting to train and metro stations.

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We are sorry that we could not help you enough for the event information. Unfortunately, noise problem is sometimes inevitable in the hostel. There is a night staff until 1am who can help solving problems, and if you could let us know about the problem next morning, we could warn those people. We hope you had a good time in other parts of your stay. We look forward to seeing you again.

It is my first time staying in a backpack hostel and I should say that I am impressed by what Khaosan Tokyo offers. I really enjoyed my time staying at Khaosan Tokyo. The staffs are really really friendly and helpful. An awesome experience indeed. Thank you Khaosan Tokyo for making affordable travelling possible.

Very good hostel. Nice hangout in the basement. The cabins are cool but leave the door open, otherwise they do get sticky. If you like a really soft bed the cabins are not the best choice. Very easy to find, close to the metro and the staff is helpful. All facilities inside or close. Will be there again on the end of my trip.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your rating and feedback. Thank you for the good advice for Cabin bed. To be honest, it is sometimes bit difficult to keep a comfortable temperature for Cabin beds. If you feel too hot or cold, please feel free to ask our staff. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.

I stayed in the cabin room, which is a clever and charming design, but the smell is not very good because of the carpet...

Great location, so close to the JR Train Station and in a beautiful and really safe area. The staff were super lovely, the room was great, really clean, quite a lot of space for the cost. The bathrooms were spacious and clean, and the showers were fantastic, better water pressure and temperature than mine at home!! Thanks for making our time in Tokyo so wonderful!
