I had a wonderful stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with directions. The beds were comfy and the facilities clean. I really liked the decor of the 'bar' and the set-up in the kitchen.

One of the best, if not the best in Tokyo. Though a bit pricey but what you pay is what you get.

One of the best Hostels I have ever been, 1st of all, they have a bar in the 1st floor, tap beer, drinks and a great place to meet people! The staff is just awesome, Shotaro was really helpful and every single one of them do their best to make me feel at home. The rooms nice, clean and secure. 100% recommended!

Fantastic hostel. Everything ran like clockwork, everything had been thought of and there was a system in place for it all. The beautiful architectural design of the hostel can't be overstated; neither can the cleanliness nor the attention to detail. However, the hostel rules (and staff) were not the most accommodating. Like most accommodations in Japan, check-in is an absurdly late 4:00 PM. Additionally, we were forced to check in and check out 2-3 times over our 6-day stay... ridiculous.

A fantastic hostel, I've stayed in many around the world and this has to be one of the very best. The staff were excellent and made it feel very welcoming. Located in a nice area with good restaurants and easy to get to most places in the city with a subway station only 5 mins away - although its quite a trek away from the main nightlife centres. The excellent bar downstairs, which was also open to locals, made up for this. A great way to meet fellow travellers, and the local Tokyoites!

the fcilities were good and very clean but the bed I used was shaky and it made noise when the person upper bed moved. The other problem is a impoliteness of other guests. One from hongkong who shared the same room with me was packing making noise without any care of other people who was sleeping or trying to do and talking on the phone around 1am ignoring other people's request to go out and keep taking. I think some people don't have any common sense so the hostel should give a guideline.

That's a really awesome hostel, very modern and loft/old factory style. Good rooms and excelent showers. Only the location is not the best if you want some nightlife, very far from Roppongi and impossible to pay USD50 to go back by taxi. The hostel bar is an option for a relaxed night drink.

Nice hostel, nice young staff and great bar. Rooms are perfect and big enough and at night you can enjoy of the bar which usually gets crowded by hosts and local people. Great!

Nice staff. Nice bar/lounge area downstairs to chill. Clean rooms, washrooms, and showers. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Sensoji temple area or one station away by metro. Would recommend this hostel.

I Love Nui! Then Staff are great! The location is great! The cocktails are great! And the cocktails are delicious! It has the perfect places to relax and have your own space! Beds are comfy and the curtains block out the sunlight well! This is my second stay here and I loved it just as much as the first!

One of the best hostels I've stayed at the world over. The Bar & Lounge area is such a good place to hang out and drink that it attracts locals as well. Also, when researching this place, it was often said that the only downside about this hostel is that it's in a bad location. I disagree. It's about a 2 min walk to the nearest train station and a 15 minute walk to Asakusa which is an amazing part of Tokyo in itself. If you're planning to go to Tokyo, I'd highly recommend staying here.

Loved this hostel! The facilities are new and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, even though we showed up well and truly after the check-in time. The dorm rooms give a spacious vibe, and each bed has a privacy curtain which was a lovely touch. Add to that the convenience of the station, and downstairs bar and you have a winner. There is nothing much else around the hostel though, just a quiet neighborhood.

Great bar and lounge area on 1F. Super helpful staff. Bedroom was not large (although that is in line with Japanese-style) but enough space. Bed was comfortable. Only frustration was that we could not use the elevator before 9AM and as we needed to check out early that meant lugging our suitcases down 4 floors. Still, would definitely stay there again.
