Check in was fast. Room was clean for people of three but of course because it’s a dorm type of rooms you have to be quiet and there’s some body odor lingering when you passed the hallway. Bathrooms are shared but there’s doors in each toilet and shower area. Breakfast was great. Cool place for single people.

By far the best hostel in the downtown area of Tokyo. Very clean and respectful environment yet there are events and areas that encourage socialization.

I highly recommed this hostel. Nothing bad to day, except that the dorm beds were be a bit dusty so bring allergy medication in case dust gives you the sniffles :) I would stay here again.

Good, only complaint is you can’t wear flip flops in the washroom. The washroom was not that tidy either

I think what makes this a good hostel is the location and its well known. It was clean and close to everything you want to do. Good place to meet travelers, walking tour Saturday and a decent happy hour. Its right next to seven eleven so a lot of people grab drinks there and bring them back to the hostel. I didnt feel like the staff was real very or had anything else keep the environment social.

Great hostel
Super clean hostel with a nice vibe. The location is great - within walking distance of the station and it's only a 30 minute walk or so from Harajuku etc. The staff were friendly, the beds comfortable. Would definitely recommend as a good place to stay in Tokyo!
