Oak Hostel Reviews

Friendly Eng speaking staff , clean, valuable for money , will recommend to friends who are looking for budget hostels

I stayed here last weekend. I got lost leaving the subway station so called the hotel to find out where to go and the girl from the front desk came to find me which was so nice and unexpected! The hotel is 10 minutes walk from ueno station. Everytime I asked for directions somewhere, the staff were more than happy to help me. I booked a single standard room which was basic but good enough for a 2 night stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again :)

Good hostel with some ensuite (tiny) facilities. Located few minutes walk to the Ueno station. Staff very helpful and friendly

Wonderful staff - very enthusiastic and helpful. The only downside was the hard mattresses, but I am sure the staff would have provided extra blankets to lie on had we requested them.

Really great staff that were very helpful and friendly.

We stayed in a japanese-style double, then a western-style twin private. The japanese-style room was absolutely tiny - it fit a double futon; limited floor space otherwise! - but really nice, with a little fridge, tea, kettle, etc. The western room was significantly larger. There was very little common area. The cycles for hire are great - semi-electric bikes made it so easy for us to get around all the sights around the city, definitely the way to go :-) Location is close to a subway station.

Thank you for your warm accommodation to us.Your hostel has excellent service.

Great, professionally run place with very helpful staff on call 24 hours. Good location and very very clean and well run. The dorm rooms were too small and cramped but that's typical for Tokyo, while the single rooms were way too expensive for a solo traveler.

oak hostel and oak hotel are the same place. don't be confused.

Nice, I will come back to this hotel again.

Staff speaks english really well, and the location of the hostel is excellent (there's subway but it's at walking distance from Ueno and Asakusa). I used the female dormitory room for two nights, there1s shower and locker in the room but beds are not the most comfortable I've seen in hostels, could be improved.

The lighting was a little dark, a little brighter would make the hallways and rooms more comfortable. The tatami and yukata provided in my room was a very enjoyable experience of Japanese culture.

We enjoyed our stay here the staff were wonderful and the Hotel is clean. It's not a 'Hostel'! The rooms are small with small bathrooms, but from what i've heard it's the same everywhere for the cost. The location is fine Ueno Station is a major one so from there you can get anywhere. There's a few great restaurants around the corner and the odd bar. Quiet Hotel, quiet area it has pretty much all you'll need for a comfortable affordable stay in Tokyo.

it's very convenient to go anywhere of TOKYO.

very happy you had an elevator.

Very good hostel the staff is skilling. Near ueno and metro .Simple and Clean room.

It is a good, nice and quite hostel. It's pity they don't have a bigger and comfortable common area where you can eat breakfast or drink a bear in the evening.

I thought that this place was alright to stay at and is an alright place to recommend to someone.

Good for couples but not great for solo travellers. With no proper common room, it was hard to meet people. My roommates were first three 60 year old Chinese women. I am mid 20s and English. After they left, there was no-one in my room except me. So I didn't meet anyone really and spent my time in Tokyo by myself. The staff were great though, really friendly and their sushi party was pretty cool.

The Oak hotel was the friendliest, most organised, welcoming hostel/hotel we have ever stayed in. Rooms were tiny but clean with all amenities, staff were extremely helpful and had tonnes of travel advice, maps and would look up, print out, book, find anything you like. The mini kitchen was a saving grace for our gluten free daughter, free internet much valued, and the communal table provided a chance to meet others. The location was great just ten mins to the main Ueno station and Ueno park!
