Much better than a 2* Hotel I've been to - and much cheaper as well! Great place to meet people at the bar! Facilities all new and very clean! I can definitely recommend this place!

Our stay here was great. The hostel is in a beautiful neighborhood and has excellent amenities. While the hostel is close to one or two major tourist attractions, going out at night is fairly difficult since the area is very quiet and public transit only runs until 12. Not a great place if you're looking to go out at night and don't want to spend $50 US on a taxi. Staff can't make good food recommendations in the area.

Felt save, staff was very very very helpful and nice, great location. Rooms were very tiny and basic, one next to each other, bunk beds, but we expected it based on the reviews so we knew what we are getting ourselves into. We just used it for the night and were out in the town all day, so it was all we needed. Place has nice rustic design. I would definitely stay there again.

I think this is the most incredible hostel! Spotlessly clean at all times of day, large comfortable beds and a nice atmosphere with a common room and kitchen they need to put more pictures of as they are lovely. Will always have this as my first choice

Nui is one of my favorite hostels in the world! And I have traveled to many! All of the staff are so friendly, the atmosphere is excellent and the whole design of the place is fantastic. Everything is so clean the rooms are spacious. You make delicious cocktails and I would most definitely stay again. Actually I am staying again right now, but I would come back a third time. :) All the Best! Nicole Ryan

Staff were so friendly and helpful, rooms are great and everything is clean. The bar is a cool place to hang out. Only negative is that there is no really secure place in the room to keep your valuables as u need your own lock. Overall a great hostel in a decent location in Tokyo.

The staff there were very helpful and they all spoke very good English which helped me a lot in Tokyo. They provided me with maps, train line help and even showed me apps that I could download to find nightclubs. The bar is fantastic and the coffee there blew me away because I had bad coffee experiences throughout Japan up until then. I only wish it was non-smoking in the bar but that is their culture not mine. Definately will be back!!!

The kitchen and free computers were a godsend. However, the room was decorated like a prison cell and didnt have a blind. The lounge area was not used by us as we felt pressured to by drinks. However the kitchen was lovely.

Very clean, very warm and well equipped hostel. The staff there are incredibly warm and welcoming and very helpful! a 15min walk to the JR line and 5 min walk to the subway the location is a little out of the major areas but they are all very easy to get to via both methods of transport. The food is very tasty and and very well priced too. Id highly recommend this hostel to anyone travelling to Tokyo Thank you Mia and all for all your help and hospitality.

The showers are good; Able to use plenty of hot water and having enough space, so you do not need to squeeze your body into a small cell. Equipped shampoo and body soap are better one than the other hostels. I stayed 8 beds dorm, each bed has curtain and a light for keeping your privacy.

The hostel was a lot of fun, the bar downstairs is always a good time, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. The staff were extremely friendly to me and took time to get to know me, and the facilities are great. A really great hostel, and one that deserves all the positive reviews it's getting.
