Tokyo Hostels

I laughed next to the love hotel, but it was a decent guest house, and it was better to say a capsule hotel. There was a bathroom, but it was too dirty to enter because I was scared. Use only shower All amenities such as showers are available, including large towels. It's amazing for this price! Amenity is handed over in a dedicated bag, a system that returns everything at check-out. Use a dedicated disposable slipper. I think the location is good.

Location was good, (use Iriya exit at Ueno station). However bed was pretty hard and not comfortable to sleep on. On the mixed gender levels they did not provide the female skincare items (e.g. makeup remover, facial foam and cleanser) which were provided in all-female levels. Only toiletries provided was shampoo, soap and conditioner, others need to buy. Towel and hairdryer are rentable. It would be better if they charged a room rate that includes all the toiletries and amenities. Breakfast was decent and the shared eating area at the first floor was a good size. They allow for luggage storage only on the day of check-in and check-out.

Pro's : Rooms are very clean with bright lights. Aircon worked fine. Sanitair is very well maintained and comfortable showers. WiFi strength and internet speeds are good. Personal is friendly. Hostel is located close to a metro station and grocery shop (5minute walk). We had the biggest 2 person room which was fine. Con's : kitchen and equipment is not sufficient for a 10 story hostel. Not enough kitchen equipment, extremely small fridge and just 2 stoves. Really frustrating if you like to make use of these facilities. The lounge is pretty small for a hostel this size. Rooms could be designed better to optimize the space for you luggage in a small space (for example space under the bed or extra wall rack etc).

This place is fantastic. It’s extremely clean and looks luxury. The bed was super comfortable, I did not feel claustrophobic at all because the area you get is pretty big with a big bed and a high ceiling so you don’t feel you are in a capsule hotel. They have a very nice work room and also a lounge. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The location is central. when I travel I usually stay at four or five star hotels, but during the cherry Blossom season all the luxury hotels were sold out or they were ridiculously expensive like three or four times the regular price. This is the first time I stayed in a castle hotel, and it just did not felt like being in a hustle because it was so luxury and clean . It’s five minutes walking to the station. I stay three nights in the Shibuya and 4 in Kyoto location and they both were amazing. I will consider staying here again whenever I visit Japan .

You can walk to Shinbashi Station in about 10 minutes. The bed and shower were clean and it was saved that there was a dressing room in the shower room. There is also a key locker. The dormitory itself is quite small, there is no place to spread the luggage. Also, the public space is only a small table in front of the elevator. I think you can spend comfortably if you have less luggage.

First so travel experience, and this was honestly quite good. The bathrooms were clean (aside from some hair here and there, but it’s a women’s hostel what do you expect) and cleaned daily, and the Wi-Fi was very fast. Got super dark in each pod which was perfect, and even in the summer, it wasn’t too hot (despite it saying there’s no AC there are some small units that keep the area a good temperature). I wish check in hours were a little more flexible especially considering that there’s no staff there anyway? But overall really good (close to many subway lines) and I would stay again for sure!!

Spent 2 nights here, bathrooms were really clean and the beds were comfy. Air con worked well too. Strange having a panini and potatoe wedges for breakfast but was really tasty, the coffee was lovely. The tumble dryer wasn't great, spent ¥300 trying to dry clothes and they were still left damp after 90mins of drying. Also they charge for storing luggage, even for small bags.

The check-in method is not clear enough. I saw that 2 groups of people were anxious to receive letters at the door and find a way to check-in themselves. I thought that I could find the gate password from the platform. As a result, I had to fill in a pile of data and upload photos. Waiting for the homestay to return the password to check in, other parts will not comment. After all, you get what you pay for.

Excellent value for money (3440 Yen, just over £20 GBP for the night!) close to Akihabara station. Spotlessly clean bed-cubicle and shower room. There was an excellent selection of toiletries in the bathrooms (not just the usual Japanese hotel, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, but also skincare). Mattress a little firm. Surprisingly quiet (the background aircon/ventilation was effective white noise) so there was no disturbance from other guests overnight. They provide pyjamas and towels. If you're not very fit/flexible, you might want to ask for the lower level bed-cubicle as it takes a little climbing/wriggling (like getting onto a top bunkbed) to get into the upper one. The lockers up on the floor with the cabins were full height and larger than expected - I could probably have fitted my suitcase in there, but I'd not expected to so left it downstairs in reception. (Reception was crammed with other people's luggage, not ideal). Great for a one night stay (like most capsule hotels, you and your luggage get kicked out during the day while they clean). Be aware that (like most capsule hotels) they don't deal with the takkyubin luggage services.

The staff are friendly! I arrived before checkin and they let me leave my luggage while I traveled around. The communal restrooms on our floor (5F) and bathrooms (on B1) were also very clean and smelled nice! I love that the restrooms are well-maintained. I thought the bedspace and the room itself might be too small but I wasnt really bothered by it. I had ample room. Me and my roommates were mostly very quiet and respected each other's privacy, especially in the mixed dorm rooms. I highly reco and would def stay again :)
