What is this hotel for? This hotel is for backpackers that want a more comfortable experience and room of their own with a key and that comfort and security is better than anything else. You also 2 showers that are shared that can be used anytime and a kitchen which is the same but past midnight you need to keep quiet. You get a Japanese bath also which can be used after 18.00 to around 22.30 and you need to write your room number to enter it. I was going to use it on my last day but I got home too late. You also get a washing machine and dryer that you need to pay for. It’s 300 yeah for the bundle. You get a eating area where you can meet other guests which has a TV and a computer you can use. If you stay for longer than one night you get the Wi-Fi which has decent speeds. Your room is equipped with a bed, bed side table and a TV. At least this is the case for the solo room. You also get an Ac which I used all night haha. This is hostel in all the sense of the word with your own room which makes it a hotel. You won’t get the hotel experience here but better than a capsule hotel for sure. One plus is that you can enter the hotel whenever and when you arrive very late you get a code so you can enter. It’s a little bit of trust to the guests. You also get slippers which you can use, two towels for the shower and shampoo, conditioner and body soap are in the showers. The Japanese bath does not have any but you can buy from the staff. The location can perhaps be a problem but if you are an anime fan like me Akihabara is a direct metro away from Minami sen-ju. It is very close to the hotel. If you want to do somewhere tho I would say it will take at least one hour to get somewhere. So be ready for that commute time. I like walks so I explored the area and it was fun. Last but not least to get food, I did not eat at any restaurants close to the area but a lot of super markets and konbini do exist. Close to the hotel you have a super market and a seven eleven.

Normally the hotel changes bed sheets everyday but here it is not. Its not necessarily a bad thing. If you want complimentary food you won’t get that either and you have to fend for food yourself. For backpackers this hotel is a 10, while a person wanting a hotel experience I would not recommend it. I love it myself as I normally just sleep and go out.

The only complaint I have is that the internet speed, even on LAN, was a bit unstable. But that's a non-issue when you're outside most of the time anyway. (On that note, I was surprised there was even an RJ45 in my room with connection!) The facilities were more than I expected for a stay like this. Multiple toilets per floor was great, one refrigerator per floor was also more convenient than what I'm used to of there only having 1 for the whole place. I didn't really use the ofuro, but the fact they had that + 2 shower rooms is already pretty good. My only wishes would be to maybe also have a shower room in the second floor if possible (most likely not possible without massive renovation), and maybe another set of laundry + driers. Other than that, I liked my stay. Well, my room was a bit small especially since I had a lot of luggage, but that's more of a personal thing as I always have a lot of luggage yet always book these basically bed-space rooms haha. Don't let that discourage you though, I think this place has great value for what I got.

The room was honestly bigger than I expected (based on photos and other guests' photos), and I had enough space to lay down and open a medium-sized luggage bag. The various shared facilities were kept pretty clean for the duration of my stay at the hotel. Staff was extremely helpful, and will also give you a quick rundown of the hotel facilities before showing you to your room. I also got help with carrying my luggage to my room, which was extra nice since the hotel does not have an elevator (it only has 2 floors, though) Location is good if you can handle a short walk, and the area is pretty peaceful. It is extremely easy to get to the hotel if you're coming from Narita via the Keisei line, and you also have easy access to both the JR line and the Tokyo Metro as well. It is approximately a 10-15 min walk from either station to the hotel.

Thin walls might be an issue for some; you can easily hear people passing by your room and people closing nearby doors, etc. Not really a problem for me personally but others may take issue with this. If you have really big luggage bags/multiple luggage bags with you then unpacking might be an issue. Wifi can be spotty sometimes. Okay enough for social media and watching videos, but anything more demanding than that isn't recommended.

Good value for a private room Bidet in bathroom 10 minutes walking to two metro stations that will get you anywhere you need to go in the city The best 7-11 in Tokyo is a one minute walk away. Loved the smoothie machine there. You can reserve the shared bath every night for 30 minutes. A great way to end the day. There is a nice river path for running going east along the Sumida River nearby. Staff was responsive and accommodating via messaging feature before the trip. Kitchen with free coffee and green tea. Microwave. Fridge. Washer and dryer for 200 yen each plus laundry soap for 60 yen. Heater in room kept me warm.

Staff spoke some English, though limited, and rarely greeted me. The light in the room was bright white and hurt my eyes. There was no bedside lamp. The slippers were hard to wear going up and down the stairs. No sound proofing with a gap between the door and the floor, so you can hear everything in the hall and room next door. It was generally quiet but there was a large group of guys talking loudly in the hallway past 10pm my last night there. I wish the staff would have said something to them.

Good facilities, including a private bath that you can sign up for from 18:00 to midnight (a really nice way to wrap up a long day of walking). The rooms are small but more than enough for a comfortable stay if you don't have a really big suitcase. The staff is always helpful and speaks good English. The kitchen is small but has everything you need. Plenty of showers and bathrooms throughout the hotel and all of them are kept really clean. While it's a little far from more central areas it offers the advantage of being in a much more calm area that is nicer to come back to at the end of the day in my opinion. Overall it's a nice option for a budget private room in Tokyo.

Noise isolation. Unfortunately there's none of it in this hotel. If you're in your room you'll constantly hear whenever someone is walking around the hallway or messing with the room door. Even earplugs didn't help me and I kept being woken up. I actually think this is easily solvable, if they just put some sort of rug on the floor it would absorb the sounds of footsteps and maybe put some signs asking people to keep quiet after 10pm. I know it sounds obvious but some people are just that lacking in self awareness. The amount of times that people just held conversations past midnight in the hallway or made a slight jug to the bathroom in the middle of the night was unbearable.

Was really surprised by how home-y it feels inside the room. The big bath was a very big plus for me especially in the cold season. Since I have tattoos, it's been difficult to find sentos who can accomodate people with tattoos. But this place has their own bath house! You can reserve the entire sento area for 30min per day! Heaven! Really liked the neighborhood too! There are three train lines and a couple of bus stops in the area. Perfect if you want to go to Asakusa, Akihabara and Ueno a lot. Staff was super nice and helpful too! Will definitely book here again.

The hotel is quite a walk from the station but since it's a peaceful area, it's quite nice if you're not in a hurry.

Good balance between price and what you get. The kitchen was well equipped and making breakfast was super easy, especially as there was a good little store (7-eleven) very close by. Rooms were okay, points for air conditioners! The staff was super nice and helpful. The way to train station was easy and took about 10 minutes.

The rooms could have been bit cleaner. Everything was ok, but some stains in the linen (probably something that doesn't go off even when washed) and little mold in the shower door dropped the atmosphere. In one room the ladder to upper bed was coming off, needs proper fixing. It would be an easy fix to tidy up some of those bits and change the oldest linen into new ones.

We were assisted by Kenta-san and liked his personality very much. If given the chance and time, we will go back and stay once again. However, we would prefer a family room that can accommodate at least 5 members. We stayed in separate rooms during our entire 7 days stay. The room that was assigned to me and my husband was a double-deck one. I guess there was no available double room during that time. But its okay.

We would prefer a family room next time that can accommodate at least 5 members. We stayed in separate rooms during our entire 7 days stay. The room that was assigned to me and my husband was a single double-deck one. I guess there was no available double room during that time. But its okay.

Very good value for the single room and facilities, you probably won't find a better deal elsewhere. Bed is comfy, room has enough space to put your luggage without any issues. The staff clean the hostel every single day.

Wifi was generally weak (~5mbps download speed), one of the showers needed the knob to be constantly pushed back up to keep the water going. The location is not the greatest either, as it is a 10 minute walk from Minami-Senju station which is not exactly central to most of Tokyo's attractions.

The bed was really comfortable and paired with the a/c, I had a good night’s rest every night! The size of the room wasn’t a problem for me, personally. (I had a medium-sized suitcase and backpack for reference.) The staff was very friendly and easygoing! They help take your luggage to your room. All of the common areas were clean and well-taken care of. Even though it’s a 10-minute walk from the station, the surrounding neighborhoods and small shops made the walk to the hotel enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend staying here, even if only for one night.

The walls are a bit thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, earplugs or earbuds will be your best friend!
