Khaosan Tokyo Original Reviews

Brilliant location, amazingly clean and loads of information available in reception area of hostel about Tokyo, what to visit and getting around etc. A cute little lounge area with computers but we didn't spend much time at the hostel as we were out exploring Tokyo - had an awesome time.

I like Khaosan original! It is small yet comfortable. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. Everything is clean and it has nice view of the river from its windows. :)

One of the better Hostels in the Asakusa area of Tokyo. a good budget choice.

Excellent location, staff helpful, facilities ok, charachter a bit failing, but you have whatyou need and you pay for. Great extra the free sake and the vicinity to the train station straight connected to Narita Airport.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The location was actually very easy to find and in a good spot to see things. The only issue I had was with the showers being a bit dirty and having a mouldy smell.

Excellent location in Asakusa, metrostation is just round the corner. Good prices, nice staff. Kitchen is a bit small, but almost everything is small in Tokyo. Had a awesome time there, international friendly people are staying there.

Cool place in excellent location. Their bar a few short blocks away is awesome, we had lots of fun there.

We stayed in the Khaosan Asakusa Annex branch on the first leg of our trip in Tokyo, so to stay in Tokyo Original when we returned to Tokyo before leaving Japan was a very refreshing change - superbly close to Asakusa station and the bed linen was much fresher, the beds more sturdy and the room more spacious. Really appreciated the scenic view from our room and overall the entire hostel was very clean. Didn't interact much with the staff but they seemed friendly enough when we first arrived.

I thought the areas under and behind the beds could be cleaner. I found it a little dusty. I appreciated that the hostel was quiet during bedtimes so i got a good sleep during the night. The toilet is a little overwhelming with vanilla scent.

Heating and sound-proofing of room was less than adequate. Heater at far end of the dorm was unable to keep the other end warm, especially for beds beside windows. Sounds of talking and laughter from common area were very audible and continued even past 1am. Would recommend putting up a sign in common areas to remind backpackers to be considerate to others who are trying to rest early.

Good hostel, warm and clean and secure. Good location.

I am very happy with Khaosan Tokyo Original. Definitely value for money, good position to visit the city, extremely helpful staff. Thank you so much!

Very compact hostel in a good location 1 min walk from Asakusa Station. Kitchen is tiny, with only one electric hotplate.Toilets & showers are so small with nowhere to get changed. Mattresses are very sponge like. Lockers are big enough to fit a laptop and valuables. Free PC & WiFi works well. Hostel seems to be ok with taking nationals, families and senior travelers, we stayed a week & its very stale and boring atmosphere, not good for meeting fellow travelers or having drinks in the evening.

The hostel was nice, staff was wonderful, and was located right near Asakusa station and a quick walk away from the Senjoji Temple. The hostel itself was in good condition, and beds were comfy. The common area was a little crunched when there are more than 4 people hanging out, but that should be expected, it's Tokyo ;) Our room had a great view of the River, and was really neat to chill in while watching the traffic on the roads and river. I would definitely recommend.

The location is great. The area is just off the main lines. Lots of good restaruants around and nice and quiet at night.

My 2nd visit to this Hostel and I'm still happy with it. As usual the staff are friendly and the place is cozy and well-kept. I appreciate the coin-operated washing machine, the kitchen with microwave oven/ref/toaster/heaters, the many maps/guides/leaflets they provide, and the location. It's very near Asakusa Metro station and within walking distance from supermarkets, banks, temples, and 100 yen shops. I just hope they scrub/clean more the shower rooms. But everything is perfect. We enjoyed.

This was my fourth time at Khaosan Tokyo Original and loved every minute of it. The staff are so friendly and warm that they create a homey feeling at the hostel.

Although a bit aged, this remains my favourite simply because the staff is so great. They really put in a lot of effort to make guests feel welcomed.
