Oak Hostel Reviews

Very good deal for Tokyo. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately no common area. Kitchen facilties available but no fridge. Constant problems with Wi-Fi connection.

far from the real atractions in Tokyo

Oak Hostel is a nice accomodation, 10 minutes by walk from Ueno station on Yamanote Line, wifi is not so stable and staff is really helpful. The awful thing is the room size: we got a traditional double room and it was ridiculously small! If you have any kind of luggage (small or big) you simply have no space for it. When one of us enter the room and stand in the "corridor" to take off his/her shoes, the other one had to wait outside the room.

Good value for money. Laundry machine was very dirty inside. Room was dusty. Otherwise very nice.

Very much enjoyed my stay. Friendly & helpful staff at the front desk and even the cleaning lady I ran into was very nice. Great location with tons to see and do & many useful maps in the lobby + suggestions of things to check out. Initially, I could only get a bad internet signal up on the 5th floor, I let them know about it and around 30 minutes later one of the staff gave me a router to bring to my room and the next day I noticed a new wifi signal set up for the 5th floor! Now that's service!

WILL STAY HERE AGAIN , NICE HOTEL.

The room itself is fine. The location too. But it's not a hostel for backpackers. There is no real common room. Not a good place to meet people. The only dryer in the « laundry room » doesn't work properly. The clothes are still wet after 2 hours even with a limited amount of clothes in it. No real atmosphere. I would book in a guesthouse next time.

The washing machine and dryer ever dirty and the dryer was horrible. After 1 hour in the dryer my 2 T-shirts there still as wet as before

Really great. Clean, rather cheap, great neighborhood.

Staff not so friendly or eager to help, and the atmosphere is lacking. not as good as asakusa khaosan, and that's mostly because of the location and the staff

japaneese style means "no bed" it is a good hotel, not great, but honestly in japan you won't find find any better if you don't pay for an international 5 star hotel. Rooms are always small, and this is no exception. It's very clean, and you get towels, toothbrush, tooth paste, shave razor, shampoo, soap.....

Good clean hostel. slightly pricey.

the location is quite far from the Ueno station (for JR pass holder) you have to walk a bit far

Good value for money. Got a twin room with a small ensuite, air conditioning and a tv!

The bathroom is inside the room so I couldn't take shower late because other people where sleeping.

the hotel was a perfect choice for a holiday in Tokyo - not only was it convenient and central, the room was tip-top. i did enjoy the tatami style of the room as well the helpfulness of the staff. i would definitely consider going there once more if i am on holiday in Tokyo.

While the room was fine, something was wrong with the air conditioner that kept the room too warm and humid.

Staff were great in this hostel located right near the train station so you don't have to walk too far, good / bad location depends on what you want to see in Tokyo however would not say it was the worst location. Stayed in the traditional Japanese room which was small even for Japanese standards. I think all in all a clean decent place to stay for a reasonable price.

The dorm room space small is too small to put large luggage.

Had a great hassle free stay at this hotel. Location is excellent with train station (Ueno) with direct links to Airport only 10 mins walk away. Also another tube station even closer by. I had my own room which was very clean and cleaned daily complete with fresh towels. There was also free wifi, free use of computers, free bike hire (with deposit) and even free umbrellas to have a lend of! All these are excellent facilities. Staff spoke great english and no silly curfew!
