to get started.

The takoyaki party is definitely a must try here. Lots of amazing travelers gathered together in one awesome event. Plus, Leo is really nice and helpful.

Joanne, Philippines

So quite at night,, very please their welcome and friendly staff,,

Ana, Japan

Staff was really cool, easy to talk to and helpful if you asked questions. Very friendly environment, open access downstairs to lounge about.

It's a very community based hostel, so you'll get the real hostel experience when you stay here. There are lots of events where you can meet the staff and talk to the different people staying at the hostel. The food was good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Defiantly one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in ever.

Jamila, Japan

Great location. The staff is super friendly as usual and the common cafe area is very nice !

Felipe, United States of America

Staff night shift is very nice and helpful. He is so kind and friendly. Good services and stay here.

Panurat, Thailand

This hostel is comfortable and clean and in a good location. The staff were friendly and helpful. They don't have a kitchen as such but there is a refrigerator, microwave and kettle on the top floor (but without cups, cuttlery etc) - the staff were happy to give me some paper cups to make my coffee in. This sort of kitchen arrangement is very common for Japan as convenience stores will usually give you plastic cuttlery/chopsticks anyway.

Sarah, Australia

Definitely, it's located in the perfect place to drink. As it's located in the middle of Shinjuku, I could drink by next morning and got back to sleep. Also the bar on the first floor of this place was such a great spot to drink.

Yoon, South Korea

Friendly staff, always keen to speak with guests and add to the atmosphere of the hostel. Fantastic location with Golden Gai only a ten minute walk away. Easy transport links from Shinjuku (ten minute walk) and Shinjuku-sanchome stations (3 minute walk). Good facilities (showers, bathrooms, laundry room). Comfortable and great main social area to meet people, especially as a solo traveller. Happy hours and themed evenings also help add to the offerings here.

“Cozy Place to Live in Shinjuku”

If there was one thing to complain about, it would be the size of the elevator. It fits three people comfortably but five people is really pushing it. But having an elevator is a blessing to no elevator at all. As a heads up, if you are over 6’, then you might find the beds to be a little bit short when you stretch out. The walls aren’t too thick, so you will hear sounds of ambulance through the night.
I absolutely loved how clean it was. Granted, Japan is very clean in general, this hostel made sure to clean your room every single afternoon. The location is very close to a small station that can transfer you to a bigger station (Shinjuku), but if you’re carrying 2 large luggages (heaven forbid 3 luggages), you will have a tough time dragging it about 15-20 minutes to Imano from Shinjuku as the smaller station have difficult to find elevators. The front desk employees all know English and are very helpful with anything you might need. For example, we needed help sending luggage to our next location and they helped us out with that. Though they do have activities every night, I didn’t attend so I can’t tell you how it is. Otherwise, the guests I stayed with were all pretty friendly.

“Week in Tokyo”

It was a real shame that there wasn't a proper common area as I feel like that's a major part of a hostel. The 'kitchen' was tiny and just a fridge and microwave and sink. No counter space or cooking equipment to make your own food. Then if you did bring your own food you had to sit in the pretty miserable 'common area': some plastic tables and chairs in the concrete corridor outside the toilets, as you weren't allowed into the much more atmospheric area downstairs. I understand this is a cafe but it feels a little unfair that you have to buy expensive food from there in order to socialise during meal times. Most people who stay at hostels are on a budget and therefore cooking your own food is a major thing. I was surprised there wasn't a proper kitchen as this is usually a facility at hostels.
The staff were friendly and they throw good value social events pretty often. The location was excellent.

Bathrooms got wet and dirty easily - not much space, nor equipment to clean or dry up the room after oneself, even if one wanted to.
Very freindly welcome, taking as much care as possible. The hostel has everything you need and seems very friendly, with plenty of space to meet and chat with other guests. The design is pretty good and well-soundproofed. The location could not be better for the price.

I am bit disappointed when there is no laundry onsite. I was there with my family. I booked a Japanese room. Mistaken that it was a room. But it was not an actual 'room'. It was a corner in a domitory with 2 other families of 5 and 3 pax. they are separated by curtain.
The place is newish and clean. The staff is very informative.
