to get started.

The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Along with a free breakfast, they also had an excellent deal which allowed you free refills of your drink during all hours, and there was a great range of drinks on offer too. There was a nice common area with plenty of seating inside, and outside as well.

The staff are very welcoming and very clear at giving explanations. The amenities are great from cheap breakfast, free ironing board for rent, towels, drier, washing machine, kitchen, terrace, wifi, basically unlimited access card. The location is very close to a lot of train station and also to very great places such as the Sensōji temple and Tokyo Skytree.

I’m 17 checking in alone so it was difficult for me to find a place to stay (and a cheap one too). I was worried I’d have to wait in line to use the washroom or shower but I was almost always the only one in the shower or washroom in the morning (8 or 9am) I’m glad I found this 😇[There’s 3 toilets and 2 showers at the floor I was in] I love that they have a fridge/freezer in the shared kitchen [There wasn’t anyone using the kitchen at 7/8pm] . I also like that they let me pay in cash at the day I checked in. It’s right by an amusement park and really near Asakusa temple and the traditional market. There’s a convenience store nearby. Wifi was pretty fast, there wasn’t a time it slowed down.

I had to make my own bed. I had not expected this, but for the price of the room this was no problem for me at all. One of the shower doors was missing and only had a curtain. It didn't bother me too much, but the shower and toilet room gave me a bit of a "camping site vibe". Nothing wrong with that considering the room price.
Very kind staff! They gave me a warm welcome and were helpful! Great location, very close to senso-ji. Fluffy blanket was comfortable. Excellent price-quality ratio, can't complain really.

I wasn't too keen on showering in the cubicals as it is shared with lots of other travellers. Maybe some shower slippers would be good to be able to rent from the front desk or bring your own. It was pretty clean though.
It was lovely and super convenient to get around and see everything. There are plenty of routes to go all around the city. The breakfast was basic but it did the job. The people were super lovely and really helpful.

“It was the worst stay in my life.”

We could not have hot water in the shower room not only once, but twice during my stay in the hostel. I guess that the boiler was broken, and the hostel was reluctant to spend enough money to fix it. It is clear that the hostel does not pay enough attention to sanitation and our health. This is a serious problem.
Nothing. It was the worst and most disgusting hostel I have ever stayed.

“Bed, bath, and lounge, basically. ”

Room was a bit musty in smell, and there's a weird tingling/itchy feeling when we laid down on my companion's bed. It was gone after a while but my bed did not have the itchy-tingling feeling when I laid down on it. Place is a bit far from the main Asakusa station, and the Asakusa Tsukuba Express station (the nearer station) serves only a few places and is pricey. Towels, slippers and some other amenities need to be purchased/has a rental fee of 100 yen each. Only one bath for the female bathrooms in the mixed dorm floor.
Very affordable price if you're just looking for a place to bathe in and sleep. Also has a nice lounge where you can socialize with other hostel customers if you're into that and they also sell various liquor and food at the café. You can also rent their console for games and such. Place is near Asakusa shrine and the marketplace. Staff is very cheerful and I've been to Japan a few times and in different regions already but the staff here is the most fluent in English I've encountered, I think. Things I didn't like aside, I'd go back for the cheerful staff if ever.

The only thing I didn't like was that the corridor leading to my dorm room was slightly exposed to the outside elements, and was cold. This was not so very nice when trying to get back to my room after having a shower. It was a small issue. In general, an excellent hostel.
The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Along with a free breakfast, they also had an excellent deal which allowed you free refills of your drink during all hours, and there was a great range of drinks on offer too.

Would be great if they had wholemeal toast option with breakfast. The only other thing i would say is the power points in your bunk could be a little better or sturdier mine kept falling out on my face haha.
Free breakfast was so lovely, simple but the soup varieties and toast made my mornings. Location was so great because it led me to explore a part of tokyo I hadn't seen yet. Loads of shopping and cheap eats around and quite close to the station. The staff were so lovely! I loved that I could open the window for fresh air.
