The property was extremely clean and well-managed. The common area was relaxing and felt like a true reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. I enjoyed that it was in Edogawa, where the pace is a bit slower and manageable.

10 out of 10! Totally recommend for anyone! It’s a bit further away from the city center and train stations but that also means it’s quieter and it’s still very easy to find food nearby. Everything is new and clean and it’s very organized, they have two shelves in the room for storage and they also have a nice common area for eating with hot water and a microwave. I love this place so much and it’s definitely a good value y’all.

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.
