    The hostel is just a few steps away from the nearest train station and is very convenient. The rooms are just right for the price and we did have a good night sleep. The staff immediately helped us when we asked for hot water.

    Very limited sleeping space

    Excellent value for money in a good area with multiple train & metro connection This in the style of a traditional Ryokan with roll up futon and a curtain acting as a door so limited privacy The facilities were top notch and of modern standards - technology

    The location was a wonderful first impression of Tokyo, the local area was awesome, the nearby KFC was the best one that I've been to in years. The Tokyo Metro Minowa Station is a short walk away. The locals are friendly.

    A small cozy little hostel. Felt homey, and I enjoyed my stay. It has the basics but not much more. Soundproofing is minimal as rooms only have curtains . Self checkin is convenient but the location isnt amazing.

    I didn't know I need a pasword to enter and I didn't received it in advance. So we had to stay outside the building until someone gives us that information so we could check-in.

    The place is clean and very cozy and the futon suuper comfortable. Also the subway, convenience store and coin laundry are super close.

    The rooms were pretty wide considering the price, it's just the room doesn't have a door. It's just a curtain and you can see people walking.. and I wanted to change the room but they say you can't change the room.

    It's just so worth the price.. you get a cooking station and a table for four people... Although it's pretty small, it has everything.

    Toilets/sinks are right by the rooms so if anyone is bothered by sound bring ear plugs with you as only a curtain separates you, no sound-proofing. I found it fine size for me but if you are quite tall I can see how it may be more of a problem with feet poking out from your curtain dividers! Also not enough clips to keep curtains closed - some people had 4 others none so share!

    Very short walk from subway station, quiet & friendly streets. No staff on site all electronic check-in but found this easy to use. Good facilities, multiple toilets and shower was clean. Room was cute and enough space for small day bag but have to store larger luggage in main rea downstairs.

    Lots of noise (loud chatting, hair dryers, etc) in the supposed quiet hours, which can be very unpleasant.

    The beds were comfortable. The facilities were always clean.

    Cheap and convenient, but difficult to sleep due to noise.

    There is no safe; there is a backless box which is insecure and can be opened with no difficulty. My sandals were stolen here but nothing from my room was taken. The room dividers buffer no noise, it is impossible to sleep even with earplugs if you have another person on the same floor as you with sleep apnea. And frequently, you do.

    It is close to restaurants, the Minowa subway station, and some parks. There is a first aid kit in the main room. The staff are very friendly and polite, and the entire place is kept very clean.

    Since all the rooms are separated with curtains and wood panels, every noise can be heard even when you were in the common area. The hostel didn't have an area for doing activities that could require to do some noise like answering a call.

    The mattresses were super comfortable. The hostel is super clean, everything was very organized and tidy, and it's located in a very convenient place.

    No one in the reception at all, during the day there is a lady who cleans but no any information to get from her. Be sure to get a right code to open the front door, i waited 1 hour in the cold weather waiting for someone to open the door. It is not a private room, it is a small room with wooden divisions and courtains.

    It is clean and good pressure hot water in the shower.

    Overall the tiniest hostel where I have been. Entrance is super small, you will struggle if your luggage is big. You won't be able to bring your big luggage upstairs. The first night I slept the aircon was on 25°C in the room, impossible to sleep. I think they should write something so that people don't under or overheat. Nothing is soundproof, you will hear every single step on the stairs and every single cough. Earplugs should be provided for free in those conditions. One lady checked in at 1am and she could enter: I have no problem with that but the gentleman that took care of her and sleeps in the staff room didn't pay attention to the others sleeping and we could hear everything inside. Good luck if you need to pack your luggage when everyone is already asleep. You technically have the right until midnight (which is way too late already in my opinion) but will be a bother to everyone. No laundry, barely space to cook anything. I don't know if I'm the only one but I used the body soap for 5 days and my skin is really red and dry.

    Location is good, it's clean, space for each person is a bit larger than in a capsule hotel, towel is provided, security cameras make me feel safe regarding my luggage and medicines are available for free.

    Mattress was very uncomfortable. Didn't see any milk (creamer) or sugar for coffee from machine but vending machine outside at front door.

    Clean facilities. Equally close to either Minami-Senju or Minowa stations on the Tokyo Hibiya metro line.
