Tokyo Hostels

We checked in around 11 PM, and staff were still available, making the process quick and smooth. The lobby offered comics and other entertainment. Free breakfast was also served from 5 AM to 10 AM. While some noise is unavoidable, light sleepers can use the provided earplugs. For me, someone who falls asleep the moment my head hits the pillow, it wasn't an issue at all. The bathrooms were spotless and fully equipped. You could arrive with absolutely nothing and be perfectly fine.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom had heating and a drying function, which was great for drying clothes. The space had many thoughtful designs. I stayed for four nights and was very satisfied. The room had two large trash cans and two small ones, so I didn't have to worry about managing trash. The cooking facilities were excellent. It's very suitable for families, and it's also convenient for visiting nearby attractions. There's a fantastic BBQ restaurant right around the corner. The only thing to note is that you need to make a reservation for the BBQ place. Their beef tongue is delicious!

The ladders are wide and easy to climb. There's a spacious common living room on the floor, which is very comfortable for relaxing. Each room accommodates several people and has its own password lock, offering great security. There are plenty of restrooms and two shower rooms. Some restrooms even come with a sink and mirror, which is really convenient. The service was very gentle and excellent, and there's a Chinese staff member at the front desk. The downside is that it's a bit far from the subway station, almost a kilometer away. However, it's surrounded by Shinjuku's commercial areas, making it great for evening strolls.

Good price for a capsule within walking distance of a JR station that reaches ikebukuro and Shinjuku pretty fast. Even has an onsen and sauna! Has a chill area to read manga and buy beer also. Staff also friendly and speaks English which is good to not get lost Only downside is the baggage area is quite messy and feels a bit dirty

Great location, easy to find, and close to the station. There's no room key; the elevator opens directly into a floor with many cubicles. There are areas for organizing luggage and storing suitcases. Lockers are available but quite small, only suitable for valuables like wallets, phones, and passports. It's a mixed-gender dorm, but the restrooms are separate. Showers are in a large communal bath, and the lockers there don't have locks. Soundproofing isn't perfect for sleeping, but overall it's pretty good. The only downside is that the ladder rungs are round and hurt your feet when climbing; a cushion would be a great addition. Towels, slippers, and toiletries aren't provided but can be rented or purchased at the front desk. You can store your luggage before and after check-in; suitcases are left in the main lobby, while smaller bags can be stored separately by the front desk. For the price, it's excellent value for money.

Before my arrival, I had to change my reservation due to a personal matter, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful in processing it. I was also very pleased that they assigned me a good bed upon check-in. The only minor drawback was that the lockers weren't on the same floor, unlike at the Ningyocho branch, which was a bit inconvenient. Other than that, everything else was satisfactory.

Asakusa Yoshino Hotel: A Tranquil Edo-Style Inn Amidst the Bustle I was absolutely charmed by Asakusa Yoshino Hotel on my first stay! It's a mere 5-minute walk to Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Nakamise Shopping Street and taking a rickshaw ride. Yet, it's tucked away in an alley, offering surprising peace and quiet. The Japanese tatami room was spotlessly clean and refreshing, with wooden furniture and paper sliding doors. Before bed, sitting cross-legged and gazing at the old streetlights outside the window, felt like stepping back into the Edo period. The owners are a super friendly couple; communication in English was no problem, and they even proactively recommended a fantastic tempura spot nearby. For breakfast, you can choose between a Japanese set meal or a Western-style light breakfast – the miso soup was unbelievably delicious! They even gave us a small souvenir upon check-out, showing incredible attention to detail. For those on a budget who want an authentic Tokyo experience, this place is a no-brainer – the value for money is outstanding!

This accommodation exceeded my expectations. There's a decent-sized vanity area, and they provide a fresh set of pajamas and towels daily. Luggage is stored on the same floor as your capsule, which is very convenient. I was lucky enough to get a bottom bunk with no one above me, and it wasn't peak season so it wasn't full. However, if someone accidentally bumps the capsule, you'll definitely hear it. If you're an early sleeper, be aware that people will be coming and going at night. What's unique is that you check in on the 3rd floor, then take off your shoes and put them in a shoe locker. You then exchange the shoe locker key for your capsule locker key. You have to do this every time you enter and exit. I'd recommend noting down your capsule locker number in case you need it. Also, be aware that the pillow is very thin, and light can seep in through the gaps when the curtain is pulled. If you're sensitive to light, I'd suggest bringing an eye mask.

I checked in the night before CM107 Day 2. For just over 100 per night, and with its super convenient location for taking the Seagull to Odaiba (or the Monorail to the airport), the price is definitely unbeatable. The subway Daimon Station is right downstairs, along with convenience stores. Staff service made check-in easy. The bed was quite firm, which I actually found comfortable after not sleeping well on soft beds the previous two nights. There's a light inside the capsule, but only one two-pin socket, which was a bit insufficient.

Well, you get what you paid. I don’t usually write bad reviews so I’m a bit afraid. But if the owner have fixed all the problems I experienced then they can reply and new customer can make better informed decision I guess. There are no lock. So if you are a female traveler that hope to be safe in a female only room, don’t! It’s just a silly clear plastic door that separate the female room from the kitchen. And make the matter worse, the main door was not lock as well….I hope they fix the lock soon. They chose convenient over safety at the moment. Any stranger can barge in. They have nice kitchen area. There is one toilet and one bathroom, the toilet is clean. During my stay the guest that already there are very loud even though it’s after 11pm. I think they should stress the rule about noise at late night more. The location is convenient but it’s in the pub area. And next building is karaoke room. They sang until 5 am. Well, not all have a problem with noise during sleep. So pick your choice. The bed area in female dormitory is clean. But in terms of privacy and tidiness, no. They should really tidy up the window next to bed No.6 it looks like a refugee camp from what I saw. I didn’t assume all people there are long term stay but I don’t know 🤷♀️ The curtain was put on badly for the upper bed next to window, and it happened to be my bed. I have less privacy than the below bed and bed was made out of cheap metal so they move when the other move, which is fine for me but keep that in mine before you go. What worst in the bed area is the people that’s already there before me. They have the audacity to open my curtain and peek at me. I think the price attract weird people with no manners (maybe I have no manners too?) 🤷♀️ Any how, what I want to say is: Perfect area for shopping and find food and very close to the station. Good kitchen. Clean toilet. ⚠️No lock, unsafe. No privacy because poor bunk bed curtains. 🤑And you might be able to find a better hotel with your own tiny room with roughly same price the next day. So good luck!
