5.9Verified guest“Great spot right by the metro, with comfy beds and roomy capsules that give you some privacy. The staff were friendly and there's self-service coffee and tea around the clock. The sleeping area was clean and quiet, and you could buy extra bits cheaply.”
5.9Verified guest“Last time I was on the top floor; this time I much preferred the bunk beds.”
5.9Verified guest“The big common room made it easy to meet other travelers.”
5.9Verified guest“Location was handy, quick to get to the center with plenty of little shops and eateries nearby. The dorm was decent though a bit worn, and the beds were okay. Showers had good heat and pressure, plus free Wi-Fi and lots of travel tips.”
5.9Verified guest“With quite a few people in the room, there was lots of interaction. Day and night, I was out with different people and groups, met cool travelers from all over, saw great sights, and had wild nights in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Roppongi — the hostel being just 3 minutes from Shinjuku and 10 minutes on the tube to the other two was the best part. Even with around 40 in some rooms, the capsules are surprisingly roomy and private, and Wi-Fi worked on every level.”
5.9Verified guest“A quiet spot in Tokyo, near the metro, one stop from Shinjuku center.”
