What I loved most about this hostel is that it's very spacious. Most hostels are cramped and small but this place has lots of room to spread out and relax! It's very clean and well kept, has a luxurious feel to it. Loved the Hawaiian/hula night, that was so fun! Staff is so nice, polite and professional, love that SO much. This is the first hostel I've been to that has a beach lounge area. Absolutely love that and I love that the sand stays in the beach lounge area and it's not all over the hostel. They have a lovely spacious, clean kitchen. 7-11, Lawsons and a lil mini mart are super close by, so food is easy to find. Lovely, restful stay and I definitely look forward to visit again! :)

Extremely great value for people like me have overnight layover in Tokyo and neither want to spend $150+ for less than 10 hours stay, nor want to spend a night at the HND. The guesthouse is clean and comfy, you can stay in the living room chatting with the owner and other travelers, which is the best part staying in a hostel. It is just 3 mins walk from the train/metro station. Be prepared for carrying your luggage to second floor where the hostel is. Convenience store and restaurants surround the hostel. If you are a light sleeper, eat plugs is recommended just in case your roommate snore. The owner is super friendly, no problem communicating in English. If you like manga, aka Japanese comic, you will have endless chat with him. Very satisfied stay. Highly recommend and will stay here again for sure next time.

Everything is clean, starting from the Brita filtered water that was always refreshed daily. The system provides enough for a comfortable stay away from home. There were 2 hangers for my use, space to stow luggages, storage cabinets to store daily use items such as moisturisers etc. The location is fantastic. It was so easy to explore Tokyo from the hostel as the subway is just 200m away.

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.
