The location! And the staff. And I also liked how small and cozy the hostel is. The location is perfect! Right next to the river, and by so many restaurants and tourist attractions. However, this hostel is on a quiets street over from the busy, bustling street of Akusa, so you actually don’t have to worry about any noise! And there’s also the rooftop that has a great view of the river and surrounding city. It’s both relaxing and beautiful to stare at.

It's very peaceful and perfect to work remotely from, very clean and although there are a lot of beds in the room, they are very sturdy and well isolated, so I slept very well every night (for the 12 nights I stayed). The staff was extremely helpful and polite, they're wonderful.

All hostels in Tokyo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
