The hostel looks very clean and the interior is nice and cozy. The staff was helpful and they provided free rental of power adapters which I appreciated. Comapring what you get for the cost, I can definitely recommend this place. The location is not bad since it is close to the metro line but when planning your trip, think through if you plan to be in Shibuya or Shinjuku during the night because then this hostel is very far away and the metro does not run during the night.
There was only one shower for the whole floor. In reality i had to wait only once but maybe in busier season or during the evening you can spend more time waiting.

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.

Great stay at Focus Kuramae. We stayed 4 nights, in both a private room and dorms. Both were clean, well setup, quiet and comfortable. The amenities are also great, with showers and toilets super clean and well setup and the common room with all the equipment needed to store your goods in the fridge and cook if you'd like. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay in a cute and quiet area walking and easy transit distance from tourist attractions.

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!

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.
