Very clean and well-equipped, with spacious beds and a big trunk inside that comes with a lock too, to put away stuff safely. Lots of toilets and showers to use, so it never gets crowded. What I also love is the lounge, it also provides places with charging stations to use your devices and is overall well designed for relaxing and chilling time. The staff is also very friendly and always helpful.

Everything about this hostel, location and the host ❤️ The place just makes you feel comfortable. Very quiet just like the neighborhood, and bonus that Minami-san the host was amazing 🩷 I have so many good memories in this hostel. Rin- chan the teacup poodle also made this place extra special. This is by far my most favorite place! Highly recommendable !

All hostels in Tokyo

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.
