    There could be a bit more stairs in the sitting area haha but that's more a suggestion

    Location is perfect, the spacious dorm beds feel like a little home, it's easy to meet new people, check in was easy, convenient store around the corner. Simply ticks all the boxes. We have had a very pleasant stay!

    Nothing really. Just set your expectations that it’s an old wooden establishment so every move you make can make some noise. But that’s one of the fun parts for me.

    I like that the property is small enough so that guests can get to know each other. I was able to gain friends and hear their stories in the short time I stayed.

    Just some small things, nothing 'bad': You are not allowed to take phone calls in the dorm (no matter the time), depending on the people who stay there it can be loud because it's an old building, sometimes you have to wait if you want to take a shower (there are only two) and getting hot or cold water is a bit of a gamble :D but all in all I really recommend this place, it's great to stay there

    The bed with drawyer etc., the kitchen has cooking plates/refridgerator/toaster/mikrowave/hot water, the staff was very friendly and always helpful, next store less than a minute by foot, same with washing machine/dryer, great place to stay if you want to visit Asakusa, everything was very clean and smelled nice, late Check In was possible, storing bags after Check Out was possible (also hanging out in the common room/kitchen is okay), traditional house, very nice travellers to which you want to speak for hours :)

    Friendly place, met many people in the kitchen area. Staff are absolutely great and English very well. I'll definitely be staying again. Thank you! The capsule rooms are big enough to keep your stuff on the side, off the bed. Asakusa station is a 10 minute walk over the bridge. Akihabara about 40 mins walk.

    Plleeasseee add a shelf in the sink area upstairs - there's nowhere to put your toiletries other than the garbage can.

    I actually wish they had a larger locker for your stuff as the problem is always other travellers in this situation. I had to leave lots of stuff out and it’s “please don’t steal these” good faith sorta practice. mostly the clothes and the big travel backpack and misc stuff. there was a day I came back and the curtain covering my cubby bed was open (?). checked but nothing was taken.

    so I booked late and went with this. the cubicle was actually quite big and was surprisingly so. the bed wasn’t too bad and there’s a little (emphasise on the little locker) for your possessions - so anything of value went in there. I was able to fit my laptop. it was not too bad in terms of location with a 10 minute walk to asakusa station. in terms of being located in Tokyo, probably not ideal but nothing waking up a bit earlier can’t solve. clean, quiet enough and the guests I saw were well behaved. didnt use kitchen or guest hang out space but it seemed nice and homey sorry no photos but would stay here again.

    not the safest ladders to get to the top bunk but if you stay on the lower one it is quite comfy!

    good value for an hostel in Tokyo. old house converted in a hostel which is cool. could of been loud but everyone was respectful. nice kitchen and hot showers. laundry and supermarket just around the corner. 10 minutes walk to the main metro station in Asakusa. you can help yourself with some umbrellas for the day if it rains which is super nice!

    It would get a bit too hot in the single cabins at night.

    We really enjoyed the privacy, since there were curtains in front of each bed. The place was quiet and cosy. The kitchen was well organized and supplied. The location was fantastic, just walking distance from the Skytree tower! Asakusa subway station was just 10min away by foot.

    Unfortunately for the amount of guests the place can take, the kitchen and living room is a little small. I couldn't make dinner one night because the kitchen table was fully seated with people drinking and chatting. The table only seated 6 or 8. The living space was packed too, and the guests didn't move until gone 11pm. There's also just a couple of showers so that meant sometimes waiting. I could smell smoke in the bedroom from people smoking outside.

    The staff were absolutely lovely and helped me with a lot of stuff. The location is good Asakusa is a bit out of the way but its in Sumida ward if you like Hokusai, and close to Sensoji. For everything else its a bit of a mish but the ginza line connects you to shinjuku and shibuya. The hostel was always clean and tidy. The bunks and really spacious so you can unpack a bit and have your own little room. Everything you need for cooking was there. The building is quite old and traditional so that's really nice.

    Given the old structure, is very easy to make noise, but it's up to the guests to be respectful! Just bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

    Hostel in an old traditional house so facilities were essential but it's in a quiet location. The big luggage can be stored downstairs and there is a big combini nearby. Good to have a hanger to let towels dry in the room, instead of inside the bunk bed.

    Would have benefited from a couple of perks... Eg - tea and coffee available, hand towels / tea towels round the sinks

    Comfy beds and big fat duvet. They are spacious pods so you can fit other things down the side of your bed, clothes, laptop etc. Good shower. Close to Skytree, Sensoji Temple. Nearest metro ten mins walk away. Good kitchen well stocked for cooking with a small supermarket two mins away.
