It was good. There were fine things like the free umbrellas and electric adaptors (with deposit). I think there are easy things that can improve ours hostel like more places to hang clothes, in showers or inside capsules. More ventilation in capsules will be fine. So is always possible to improve...

It's sometimes a bit warm indoors, but it's for a good cause. (Japan power conservation after Fukushima) Would've appreciated luggage store where bag is actually locked away from the other guests. All in all still rounds off to 100% :).

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your rating and feedback. We appreciate your kind understanding about the electricity saving. Luggage keeping service is available after check out until 8pm. If you have any valuables which you would like to keep in a safe place, we would be happy to keep it inside the reception desk. We hope you are having good times in west Japan and look forward to seeing you soon again. Thank you very much.

The wifi reception from room G was weak to no signal at times, perhaps you could rectify that. Overall it was a great place to stay.

It seemed relatively clean, but the large cockroaches that I found running around my room on two days, proves otherwise. If it hadn't been my second last and last night, I would've found somewhere else to stay.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We are deeply sorry about the trouble, which must have disturbed you. We have been doing everything we can to deal with that kind of problem, for example using several kinds of bug killer. Also, we will look for any better way to sort out this problem. However, it is a pity to write, but we would like to mention cockroaches are inevitable if one travels Tokyo especially during summer. Hope to see you someday again. Thank you very much.

My stay at Ninja was awesome, the Staff made me feel right at home. The location of the Hostel is close to almost everything, Food and transport are pretty much at your doorstep, The only thing location wise that is annoying is the Hostel is on the wrong side of town for night life so expect to do an all nighter if that is your thing. But I love this place and I will be back.

Very convenient location, near JR line and metro station and Akihabara. Very friendly atmosphere. Has everything you would expect from a hostel.

Clean, friendly staff, and good facilities. The only problem was the beds in the 'deluxe' dorm section are a bit noisy, i.e. every time someone turns in their bed, everyone can hear it.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We are glad to know you are satisfied with most of your stay with us. We are sorry about the noise in Cabin Bed Dorm. Because it is wooden, some noise is inevitable, we are afraid. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your rating and feedback, too. We are happy to know you enjoyed your stay at our hostel. Asakusabashi, where our hostel is located in, is not famous but very convenient. 2 JR stations and 3 subway stations nearby, also Akihabara is in walking distance. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you very much again.

Great Hostel. really nice spacious common room. Very close to JR and subway stations. The restaurants near the hostel were really good too. However, if you plan on sampling the nightlife I would recommend getting a place near the places that are known for nightlife. I didnt find any decent bars to get a beer late night near this hostel, and a taxi ride late night to an area like shibuya would cost over $100.

Hi, thank you very much for staying with us. We appreciate your rating and feed back, too. We are very glad to know you enjoyed your stay with us. We feel sorry we could not tell you some cheap good bars near our hostel. Because it is not located on the main street, it is hard to find, but there sure are some deep local bars and restaurants. We would like to improve our local area recommendations. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you very much.

  • Very friendly and helpful staff there. Love the Cabin beds. They gave me more privacy then the private dorms.
