Good location, staff were friendly, vibe was nice and there's a cute bar/lounge at reception. Bed was spacious and room was great. Showers and toilet facilities are on the same floor which is very convenient.
Walls are thin so you hear a lot of movement upstairs. Also not the hostel's fault but I didn't sleep a wink because a person in my dorm snored like a freight train. They should add it to their questionnaire "do you snore?" and then put them all in a room together. I'm kidding obviously but even with headphones in, I didn't get a single hour of sleep.

I really enjoyed my week at Focus Kuramae as the staff was really friendly. I stayed in the female dormitory room on the thrid floor and it was bigger than I expected. I was travelling two big pieces of luggage but I had some space to store them so they would not bother any one else. As far as cleanliness is concerned, I have nothing to complain about. The hostel is located near Kuramae Station and I had no problem getting to the locations I wanted to visit.
The matress was really fin and I sometimes had struggle to sleep because I felt like I slept on the floor.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! Staff was very nice, facilities were incredibly clean. They cleaned everyday! The lounge area is so nice perfect to have dinner or work, very comfortable. They also have a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very nice, such a lovely calm area with lots of cute cafes. A quick 30 min ride to Shibuya.
The only downside would be that a bit of a humidity problem, which could lead to weird smell in the corridor. But they are expecting full renovations soon so I’m sure it will be resolved.

I lived on the dorms and the bed was huge! The room was super spacious and clean and you have 3 shared bathrooms, laundry and 2 showers in the 4th floor. The staff was friendly and sweet. There is a kitchen in the hostel as well so it was perfect if you wanted to cook your own stuff. Also a sauna which I never used but seemed interesting for sure.
One of the laundry’s dryer didn’t work so had to pay 3x to have it dried. It didn’t work as well so just ended up hanging my own clothes

I was solo travelling so for that kind is a really good place, the recepcion area is very lively and the workers are very friendly people ♥️ also all the common areas are super clean. There’s was an amazing lady cleaning my floor 5F super lovely as well very nice to talk too ♥️
I don’t think I didn’t like much anything, is a sharing place so is not on the place how people behave. I was there for 11 days, and some people were dirty but others weren’t and some snored quite loud but that is not a problem of the hostel. If you go for a sharing room you have to expect this things to happen.

I liked the stuff very friendly and kind even though not everyone spoke english, they had 1 or more employees work at every moment. Everyday cleaning, but in my opinion a bit too early in the morning 10:30 am… Nice bar, kitchen, many toilets.
The air was a bit too low on oxygen in the dorm so it felt very heavy. The WiFi works in the dormitory only semi, so when your in the dorm it’s fine but when you are in the bed it just doesn’t work.

The location was brilliant! We absolutely loved staying in Kuramae. The hostel was close to two subway lines which was very handy. The staff were helpful on arrival, our dorm room was as a good size - our pods were big enough that we had space at the side to keep our bags but not sure all of the pods had this. Showers/loos always clean and tidy. Lots of great cafes/restaurants nearby and it is so close to the river which is a real bonus.
That the kitchen area was shared with the public bar space. It felt a little strange preparing dinner in front of people that had come to the hostel bar for food & drinks! It just took a bit of getting used to. It was nice to be staying in a hostel where the kitchen was used though, a nice buzz in the evenings.

I really enjoyed staying here, it was super pleasant. The cafe downstairs served nice food and the room was spacious and clean. Good location as well. The other girls in the dorm were friendly and quiet and the lights were turned off at a reasonable hour. We had a fire alarm go off the first night which resulted in an evacuation, but it was handled so well and the woman who called the fire department made sure everyone knew what was going on in English and Japanese (it was a false alarm in the end). Very well handled!

Location: 7/10 - It is near subway stations, but it's still kinda far to walk especially towards Ginza line. Asakusa line is the nearest. The nearest conbini is 2 streets away (Famimart) If you want a peaceful and quiet location, this is it. If you want to do something at night, Kuramae is dead at night, so try somewhere else. Staff: 10/10 everyone's helpful Room: 8/10 - It was comfortable with the bunk beds, however, there was no locker. There's only a small safe box which won't fit most of your precious items. Everyone can see your stuff. Luckily, I did not lose anything Cleanliness: 10/10 - Place was super clean
Just how weirdly far it is from everything but near at the same time. Everything else was great.

This place is brilliant if you want to be just a little further away from the hustle and bustle that is Tokyo while still being close enough to be able to easily get to the popular neighbourhoods for sightseeing. The rooms and bathrooms are incredibly clean and well kept despite being so small, the staff are amazing and friendly and always so welcoming each time we’ve stayed. Would definitely recommend and have since had friends stay and they feel the same.
No fridges in the room to keep cold water/drinks and large suitcases are a little difficult to manage with the small room size.
