I stayed with LDK in Osaka and Tokyo and I couldn’t have a better experience than this. I think is the best hostel around the world, base in my own experience. The staff is so kind, I arrive earlier than the check in time and they store my luggage and the procedure of check in and check out was so easy. The facilities are new, well maintained and clean.

Everything was so organized and clean, staff were so friendly and helpful, bathrooms and showers were AMAZING (boiling water, clean, highly highly equipped with everything down to 5 hair curlers). The dorm area was quite, squeaky clean and very well kept. The dining area was highly equipped (hot water, drinking water, microwave, glasses) and I was happily given what ever I needed for my grocery meals. There’s free luggage storage until 6pm. Never stayed in a hostel as good as this. I’ll be coming back for sure. So grateful.

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.
