Tokyo Hostels

"This was my first time staying in a hostel, and to be honest, I didn't have high hopes since it opened in 2019. But when I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the facilities didn't feel old at all; they looked exactly like the official photos. The bathroom was very well-stocked with makeup remover, facial cleanser, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I stayed in either a five-bed or six-bed dorm, and it was so quiet I couldn't even tell if anyone was in the bunks next to me. However, there were mostly Westerners, so it might not be suitable for those who are very socially anxious. The owner communicated entirely in English, which was fine as the words used were quite simple. The location is fantastic, very close to the subway station. If you're on a budget, this place is definitely recommended."

"Stay Mid May 2026. Female Dorm for 5 nites. The location is great, 8 min walk to Ueno Station, Ameyoko Street, Keisei Ueno Station (to/from Narita Airport). The female dorm has 20 beds ensuite 2 shower room and 4 toilet. I wish they have an elevator so we won't get the stairs to carry out the luggage. Check in time strictly 3 pm, but you can leave the luggage & name tag at the 1st floor. The hostel provide communal room with microwave, oven toaster, utensils, drinking water, refrigerator and free coffee.Room amenities are bath sponge, tooth brush, razor, hair brush I am very appreciate the hospitality of the front desk ladies"

"This hotel was great for me! The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk to the station. It's super convenient to Ueno, only one stop away. There's a 7-Eleven and Lawson right downstairs. Having my own private room was fantastic, and it was so handy having a hanger, fridge, and sink right there. The toilet and shower rooms were spotless. The staff were really friendly and happy to help with any questions. Check-out was super easy. Oh, and the electronic lock on the door was also incredibly convenient! 😆"

"Good location, nice stuff. Room a bit on a small side, as they usually are in Tokyo, and already a bit ”tired”, still clean though.The view from the window is directly into the wall of the neighboring house."

"The hygiene and the surrounding area are good, and the transportation is very convenient. The shared bathrooms and toilets generally don't require a long wait. However, the room is quite small, with each of the two beds being only about one meter wide, and the gap in between is too narrow for a person to pass through. The walls are also not very soundproof; you can hear your neighbor's phone ringing."

"We are truly delighted with our stay at Tora Hotel Asakusa. We stayed here for two weeks and had an amazing experience from beginning to end. The hotel staff is incredibly kind and always willing to help with anything you need. The cleanliness of the hotel is impeccable, and the atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful. We were able to rest extremely well every night. Highly recommended for anyone staying in Tokyo!"

"I stayed at this hostel for four nights. Check in is handled on the first floor, while most requests need to be made at the fourth floor reception. The fourth floor has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, almost like a beach lounge inside the hostel. It is a nice place to rest and spend time. However, I felt that the cleanliness could be improved. The shower room is located on the third floor while my room was on the first floor, so moving between floors often became a bit inconvenient. Amenities such as toothbrushes are also provided on a different floor, which sometimes made things less practical. I would also appreciate more attention to the cleanliness of the toilets and shower rooms. In addition, there were many leftover items in the room area. It may help if the management introduces a clearer policy for unattended belongings, such as adding date stickers and disposing of items after a certain period. Overall, the hostel has a dormitory style concept with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere."

"This my first hostel experience, and it was a good one. The shared dorm was tiny but fine. Capsule had enough space for my carry on luggage plus backpack and some hangers to help with organization. Hotel staff are awesome from the front desk to the bartender. Great area being in Shinjuku. Would recommend!"

"This was my first stay here, and the only real issue was that the location is a bit far from the station. The staff were very kind. The only other minor thing was that some fellow guests were a little noisy, but nothing too bothersome. As I'm sensitive to smells, I really appreciated the air purifier and the coin laundry. The complimentary coffee and donuts in the morning were delicious. I'd like to try the cafe on the first floor next time. While some reviews have lower ratings, I think it really depends on the staff and guests present at the time."

"I really loved it, and it was surprisingly quiet even with mixed male and female guests. It was a very comfortable experience. Plus, it's right next to the scenic area, which is super convenient!"
