Sakura Hostel Asakusa Reviews

This is a very good hostel where I met lots of good friends from America and Japan. This hostel is within walking distance to the metro station (about 15 mins). The staffs are very helpful, especially Peter who is very friendly and kind. The room is not big, but is just enough. Lockers are located inside each room, but you may prepare the lock yourself. 這間青年旅館距離地鐵淺草站大約15分鐘的走路路程，還算方便。裡面有免費無線網路可以使用，也有洗衣機和電腦

The Sakura Hostel is a very nice place to stay and I would highly recommend it. It is in a great location to see all the sights of Tokyo within a half an hour subway ride. My interactions with staff overall were very good they were very helpful. However on my last night I had to leave at 4:40am to catch my flight and the staff member working at that time would not let me toast some bread! He told me breakfast was not served until 5am. Very poor manners on this occasion!

Bit more on the expensive side but you get what you pay for. It has been the only place with key cards which i seem to forget to keep on me but ensures no one will wander into your room. (nobody seems to lock the doors everywhere else i've been) It's a bit of a walk from the station and the area seems a bit dodgy but it was safe to walk around at night. there was an event happening one night, but I missed it unfortunately.

Stayed in the 4 bed room, everything was ok. WiFi signal was very good. Very friendly staff, they told us about things to do around in Asakusa. Price was higher, but I guess this is always the case in Tokyo.

The directions were not at all clear, it would be more useful to use landmarks instead of roads, seeing as in an intersection each road is marked as that street. The only reason we found it was because of a wonderful Japanese lady. Other than that the hostel was good. We met some great people and had a good time.

They don't have lockers or a safe luggage keeping system, in fact they advise you to take your values when leaving and thats not what I expected from my hostel.

The hostel is clean in general, but in my room there was always somebody sleeping during the cleaning hours and that prevented the cleaning staff to do their job properly, so the room was a mess.

2nd time there, still very comfortable.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Sakura as a clean place with great facilities (showers in particular are excellent), and with easy access to most of Tokyo's must-see or must-do attractions. All the staff are very helpful and friendly, with a range of languages spoken between them, and there are regularly organised events you can participate in (if you choose) to give you a taste of the local area and Japanese culture. This was my fourth stay at Sakura, and definitely not my last. Thanks!

Really god hostel, nice vibe going on and the staff are really friendly and helpful. I had a great time here and would def book it again!

Good Hostel. Nothing special about it. I would stay there again.

Sakura hostel was at a great location, the staff was very helpful and I would definitely stay there again.

overall review I am satisfied this hostel backpacker recommended

Had some trouble with cancellation but apart from that the stay I had was awesome! The staff are all friendly and speak very good English. After taking some time at first to navigate to the hostel it's very easy to find your way around and there are a lot of good restaurants nearby. I strongly recommend staying at this hostel.

This is your typical large-scale hostel. The elevator worked well. Common area was reasonably spacious. Had trouble with the wifi a couple of times, but the reception staff were friendly and helped to solve the problem quickly. The mixed dorm was sufficiently big. Overall, it was a good place to meet people. Security is not tight (apparently people get smuggled in?) so lock your stuff up I guess.

Lots of hot water. Great common room with a beer vending machine. The best beds I've stayed in on this trip. The staff was friendly. The only drawback is its not close to the Yamanote line. You can take another metro but for JR pass holders it might be easier for you to stay closer to that line. That said, it's worth the extra hassle for the price and atmosphere

Sakura is awesome. It is clean and the beds are comfy. In the colder months they keep it warm by your room temperature can be controlled by you. Only I would avoid it the basement level rooms since it did not have pleasant smell. Very safe for women traveling alone. Definitely one of the better hostels in Tokyo.

We enjoyed staying with you. We always got excellent advice from the staff. The main lobby is a good idea as it was nice to talk to other people staying in Tokio.. this probably you could never experience at a hotel!!

Staff where very helpful! Loved there english speaking skills!

Very much a backpacker's hostel. Was in an 8-bed female dorm, was fine, although had to pay money to rent a padlock for a locker. Facilities good, location okay. Staff were nice. All round a good hostel.
