Fairly decent hostel. Clean, nice bunks, although no Japanese character.A little tricky to find from the station as its tucked away down a side street - smart phone is useful here. Right by the famous sensoji temple and market. Acts as a good base for getting around Tokyo, would stay here again

I stayed for two nights; I booked my second upon arrival. The wifi can only be accessed in the lobby, it is quite clean and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. There's an open area but the lunch room like table seating makes it less communal than it can be. Very good location in the heart of Asakusa. Also, there's some sort of amusement park next door.

Feels like a standard hostel and not a Japanese one

We shared a double room because it was my sister's first night in Tokyo. The room was nice. I think our only complaint was that the light on one of the beds didn't work. But we didn't spend much time in our room, so it wasn't a major problem. Also, the cafe was always full. The tables were always grouped together, so for a single traveler it's kinda fun. For sisters who only have a few days together, it was a bit of a pain.

I have stayed at this hotel three times and from not being sure about it on first site, I have grown to like it a lot and so have directly booked re visits twice . one of which is to come. If the interior could be freshly painted it would be agreat improvement on the grey concrete. But what a helpful team despite being very busy.

I stayed in one of the group rooms The hostel was nice and clean. How the hostel is depends a lot upon uour roommates. Unfortunately, mine weren't great. There was no under-the-bed space for my luggage when I joined the other 7. One person had hung their towel and (probably) clean underwear across the only chair, so it wasn't open for sitting on if you needed a place to gather shoes or set something for a minute. Despite that, the staff and location were perfect for a couple of solo days.

Very nice hang out. I was impressed with its setup and the things it facilities and services it had. This was my third hostel ever, but so far, I liked this one the most (and the others were not by any means bad either).

My first visit to a Hostel, and based on this experience would not hesitate to stay at one again. I particularly liked the friendly atmosphere, and the rooms were basic but comfortable.

This is the 3rd time to stay. It's good to access from Narita Airport. And you can see Askusa Temple on the way to hostel. Bathroom & washroom is really clean.

Dorm rooms were sufficient, well planned and it works. No bar although the common area is great for meeting people. Good 10 to 15 minute walk to ginza line train although the walk is through sensi jo temple which is always nice.

A very good hostel! The only downside was its location - a reasonable distance from Asakusa station. The staff were very helpful and everything else about this hostel was impressive.

I was originally going to stay here 2 nights but just kept booking because its so awesome! I'm a Solo traveler and it was great because there are plenty of people to meet here very easily based on the layout of the common room. I would def stay here again. Asakusa is also a really great area!

A nother chain of hostels set up to make cash. If you want to meet a bunch of drunk australians or larger travel groups then this is your place. Very functional building with no character but good facilities. Ok place to stay but would look for something else next time.

I spent 4 nights in a 6 bed dorms. The place was clean and the staff kind and helpful. The only point to tell is that if you wanna go to toilet you need to exit almost outdoor and walk the aisle between your room and another building. When it's winter that it not so comfortable. It was anyway an excellent stay.

The first thing observed during the check-in was the the free-and-easy environment. Can see people hanging around the lobby and sofa areas. Not much hussle during check-in. The room and the shared batchrooms are cleaned. Most of the staffs and guests are friendly and easy to get along.
