The slippers that were given out to eachguest werent very comfortable and kept falling off my feet. The material was very thin and I guess they have to be thrown out after each guest has left. I think reusable slippers that can be wiped clean in between use would be better for the environment. However you only wear them to the bathroom and in the pod room.

Its probably the highest occupancy (maybe 14 people) room Ive ever slept in a hostel but the other guests were all very respectful and quiet. The pods are well designed with a short flight of steps to the upper pods. There is a small locker within the pod plus a shelf, light, docking station and a bit of space at the side of your mattress to lay out personal belongings. My backpack lived on the floor outside the pod. My mattress and linens were very comfortable and of good quality and I slept very well indeed despite sharing a room with so many others. The location is very central and along a back street parallel to the river but even so its very quiet. There was a little noise of music coming through the wall at the back of my pillow but it didnt last all night. Its not too far from the metro stations and the line to the airport. On my first day I joined a free walking tour and the meeting point was maybe 5minutes away. There are excellent walks to nearby sights close to the hostel. I loved the view of the river and notable land marks from the balcony window. The mixed shower and toilets were clean and well designed. I never had to wait for a shower despite the room being full. I was aware I could use the showers on the next floor if I needed to. I used the laundry machines on the top floor. It was too cold to use the roof garden but it looked nice with great views. The communal area at the back of reception was a nice area to relax in or have breakfast and I enjoyed a gin and tonic one night from the well stocked bar. I got very helpful advice from Heedai on reception. He was very attentive to all the guests needs and engaged with everyone well. he insisted on carrying my bags to and from the room when I checked in and left and as there is a steep flight of stairs to the podroom I was very grateful for his help.

The staff at Hostel Chapter Two were so lovely and the hostel itself is great! Having a rooftop to relax on felt luxurious too.

We had the room with double single bed, with a window view overlooking the river. The view was very pretty. Location was also convenient as it was only 2 to 3 minutes walk from Asakusa station. We also liked that there were convenience stores (7/11 and family mart) within walking distance. The room and shared bathrooms were also clean.

I had a fantastic stay! The bed is perfect for my size. The location was ideal, with easy access to local attractions, great dining options, and convenient public transport. I was also really impressed by the cleanliness of the entire property; every area was spotless and well-maintained. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend it to others!

Dont have enough space to put luggage. A bit cramp that i had few times hit my head on the ceiling

The place is close to some main attractions. The toilet and bathroom are clean and smell good. The chilling place also really good to get rest/do yoga/prayer. The staff entertained my request to use steam iron every morning for my hijab, which i really thankful for. We also exchanged stories and he recommended me what should i try in Osaka!

Slight smell of mold or mildew in the top-floor bathroom; to be expected as this is where the laundry is.

Amazing location in Asakusa, only a couple minutes' walks to public transport and very easy walk to other key Asakusa landmarks. The staff were outstanding, and the breakfast is surprisingly good (500yen for a toasted sandwich, coffee, and yoghurt). Free wifi and a curated list of recommended places to eat nearby. The rooftop lounge has a glorious view and we spent hours chatting up here having lunch or dinner. Hostel staff are happy to store your luggage for a small charge as well.

Rooftop closes too early, can't chill and hang out there

A very foreigner friendly place , very close to the train station and that's practically all you need to go anywhere in japan ! Bed was super comfy , will be back again for sure!

Lounge area was small and cold but didn't really bother me.

Excellent location with rooftop view of the river. Close to station, temples and restaurants yet still quiet at night. Spacious pod, comfortable mattress, and very clean. Owner even has a map of his favourite spots in the area which was very useful.

The first night was really hot, but I asked for a lighter blanket and then I was okay with the temperature. In the morning a lot of light enters into the capsule so is best to bring an eyemask.

Very nice hostel close the station. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they even let me make an early check-in the day of my arrival. The bathroom and shower were really clean. I tried the breakfast for 500 yen and it was good for the price. I can absolutely recommend this hostel to everyone.

The photos in the Booking.com ad don’t show the place accurately. It actually looks like it was thrown together in a hurry and the finish in general is poor. The bathrooms are OK but not great. They have an ‘underground’ lounge that is fit for hobbits but not adult humans. Still, I liked the place.

It’s a loose, friendly place. It overlooks the river Sumida and is right next to the Asakusa metro so its location is, in my opinion, one of the best in Tokyo. They serve an OK breakfast for 500 yen, not bad. They have a rooftop hangout place that has a great view of the river.

Prefer having shoes off before entering the room.

The bunks are slightly larger than typical dormitories. The hostel is easily accessible via direct trains to either Haneda Airport or Narita Airport.
