Best Places to Stay Near Kitasenju Station in Tokyo

We used 1 bedroom for 2 people. Good points, notice points 3 points by point. ■ Good points (1) There was a drink bar next to the front desk. You can drink freely. There are not many types. (2) There was a clean feeling The rooms were cleaned properly and clean. The towels were hygienic and there was no problem. (3) Close to Kita Senju Station Arrived in a few minutes walk from Kita Senju Station. The building sells cup ramen and juice, but it is expensive at the hotel price. Cup noodles were 250 yen, 500 mm PET bottle beverages and 160 yen. There are seven eleven on the way from the station to the hotel, so I think that if you need it, you will save a little more than you buy in advance in seven eleven. ■ Note (1) No smoking in all rooms No smoking rooms. No smoking space in the building. If you smoke, you need to go out (public road) once, unlock the card key and enter the smoking place. It is a hotel that is not suitable for smokers because it is necessary to change clothes every time you smoke. (2) The rooms are very narrow I have a very narrow impression, honestly, that was quite narrow. It was much smaller than the single room of Toyoko Inn and was troubled by the luggage placing place. If you have a suitcase, you can only spread it at the entrance, but it is hard to spread two people. If you spread one suitcase of the in-flight size, you will lose your footsteps. (3) No amenities in the room Amenities such as toothbrushes and cotton swabs are images of self-service from the corner in front of the front desk to bring back to the room. I went to the room without knowing it, so I felt inconvenient. The amenities are more efficient before going to the room. For me, I think there is no repeat because the room is small and the disadvantage of non smoking in all rooms is large. However, I think it is worth using it if it is a single use and non-smokers are simply intended to sleep.

Free travel, one room per person, 16 square meters, although the mahjong is small, it has all the essentials. I like hot spring eggs, milk and bread, and raw egg mixed rice for breakfast. There are free snacks every day, free POLA cleansing oil, facial cleanser, water, Lotion and toiletries, towels and pajamas are changed every day. If you don't need to clean up the room, the waiter will put new ones at your door. There are chargers. The transportation here is convenient, with the subway station, Don Quixote, banks, OIOI Matsumoto Kiyoshi, etc. On the side, the price/performance ratio is quite high

No false from the station ２ minutes. The facilities are new and clean, complete with air cleaners and no complaints. If you dare to say that the bed is too big for the size of the room, and there is no width with the table counter, and the room feels too narrow? Because the room is small ４３ inches? The wall hanging TV is more pressing. Breakfast is at a cafe on the １ floor. There are few kinds of side dishes, but for me, the western style group, there were surprisingly many kinds of bread (there are pancakes) and auto toaster? I was very happy to have a sgrmono that I came back to the bottom. There are many drinks. Also, the people here were very squeezed and the response was very good. There are many convenience stores and restaurants around the hotel. It is recommended overall.

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).

The hotel has complete facilities, the room is clean and hygienic, there are free tea bags, the environment is also good, the front desk clerk is very good and enthusiastic, the transportation is also very convenient, and there is no problem with safety. Recommended.

Recommended , good choice.

We stayed at Kangaroo for 9 days in total and we were overall satisfied despite being an hostel. We had the double futon room and you get 1 hand towel, hairdryer and shoes for indoor, also you'll find shampoo, conditioner and body soap here. If you need iron or adapters you just need to ask for it. At the first floor you'll find a coffee machine and with just 100 yen you'll get what you want. Around the hostel you will find supermarkets, vending machines, small café and the train station (this one is around 10 minutes by walk, nothing impossible).the check in is from 4 pm, we arrived quite late (at 10 pm), we let them know and they waited for us. Unfortunately the room was very small and we had 4 lagguage.. It was hard to fit them in it

It is strongly recommended to change to a microwave oven, there is no gas, no induction cooker, and update the shampoo and shower products. I didn’t know it on the first day, but on the second day, I bought a shower gel! In the double room, there is only one plug. But it’s a bit nice. It’s convenient to go out. The bus is right at the door. There are direct buses to Ueno, Sensoji Temple, and Tokyo Station. It’s good. You can walk to the Skytree. The night view is so beautiful. The sizzling beef under the Skytree is delicious. I started to savor it today! Sizzling beef costs 800+ per portion, delicious

For an inexpensive place to stay in Tokyo, I did not have my hopes up, but they were better than my expectations. There are both western and Japanese style rooms. Size is quite smallish but comfortable enough. Rooms each have AC, fridge, and desk light. One thing missing is a clock. Room cleaning was nonexistent of course, at this hotel rate. You have to go to the lobby to exchange your towel. The whole place has an old 80's apartment building feel to it, and has some unsightly things like AC ducts running across the hallway ceilings, plus just one elevator for the whole place, but nothing intolerable. There is a lobby area, plus a kitchen, as well as a small outdoor patio for the nicotine addicts. There are a lot of budget European travelers staying at the hotel. The lobby has 2 PCs you can use, though one seems to run Linux and is so old and slow it's unusable. There is also a large TV and many Japan travel books/pamphlets you can read. The lobby and each floor has a microwave, plus free green tea & instant coffee. The location has several good and not so good points. It's about a 10 minute walk south of Minami-Senju Station in the northwest part of Tokyo. Minami-Senju has both a subway line as well as JR, and there is both a McDonalds and Burger King there for some quick cheap food at the start or end of your day if you want. It's about 5-10 minutes by train or subway to Ueno Station. The walk down Rte 464 to the hotel also is crammed with other inexpensive hotels and hostels, so you really have a wide choice of places to stay (see google maps), but the Juyoh Hotel is the furthest away. It is next door to a convenience store though, and you pass 2 others on the way to the hotel from the station, so that is good. It is also across the street from a supermarket, so for the budget-conscious it is a major coup. The showers and toilet room are very clean. Bottom Line: Yes I would stay there again. Some tips: Ask for a room on the back side of the hotel - those facing the main street can get a lot of traffic noise. Since their electric furnishings take up nearly all the electric outlets, bringing your own extension cord and multi-plug adapter would help you a lot. You don't need to buy detergent if you wash your clothes (they provide it). Boarding a train before 7:30 AM on weekdays will save your sanity - or wait til after 9 AM to avoid the rush hour mayhem.

If you are a newbie westerner in Japan (tourist or just started working), I really recommend to stay your first days/months in Sakura hostel. They provide many cultural events and meetups which helped me to immerse into Japaneese culture. They are the best boost for the first days of your trip. During my 6-month stay in Japan, I lived in Shinjuku and also in Sakura Asakusa hostel. I liked Asakusa hostel's location more because it has a traditional vibe which I enjoyed. The best option for me was the fact that I could work remotely in the lobby and have my online meetings with access to coffee and tea. Toilets and bath are super clean. Our room's view was outstanding with a balcony. It was so nice they included breakfast. don't expect a fancy one. But we bought our own cereal or honey to complement it. Then you can say their breakfast is a time saver. I recommend staying at Sakura Hostel and I actually plan to go back there in the next year.
