I stay at the hostel, in a individial cabin for around 12 days in March 2025. I had a good time at the hostel Tha place is pleasant, very clean and well maintained and it is really confortable. The common area is big, with many places to relax and hang aroud. The staff is really helpful and friendly. All my questions and requests were wuickly answered. i find the bed confortable. People would often consider the "faraway" location (far from central Tokyo) a setback, but actually, it was really good to take the train and get a bit far from the insanely crowded areas of the city, and zone out and relax a little bit in the many days I stayed in Japan. It was definetly a good choice and I have no regrets at all of choosing to stay at the Wild Cherry Hostel. I loved the beatiful paintind at the entrance floor (1F) by Utagawa Hiroshige. The laundry facilities inside the hostel are really nice and helpful. The Musashi-Koganei area is really good and has many good options to hang around and take relaxed walk and enjoy suburban Tokyo and food with nice places without the crazy lines you usually find in central Tokyo.. I highly recommend the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum. Very interesting place.

One night, the cabin was quite hot (the heater was overpowering) , but a kind request to the reception desk solved the situation.

Everything was very clean and the staff was very nice! They even recommended me what i could do in tama region or where i can find halal food. They have a prayer room, laundry and kitchen. I was in a woman room. I didn't hear or see often mine room mates. But if you are a light sleeper then you need definitely ohropax. Btw the pillow was great! The cabine was big enough for me, i relaxed often in mine cabine. I even cancelled mine other bookings and booked this hotel again :) definitely recommended!

Nothing - everything was good! Just some suggestions: Maybe it is possible to adjust the door closing? So that it makes lesser noise. And a mirrow in the hallway would be great!

The staff are so lovely. I enjoyed the view of the town from our 6th floor window, and enjoyed walking around and exploring the area as it is very peaceful and beautiful. Our group spent a lot of time in the lobby dining area as it was comfortable and suitable for our needs. We had a great time chatting, assembling gashapon and feasting on our grocery haul from the nearby mall until we went to bed around midnight. There are many board games and kitchen supplies available. The room and futons were clean, quiet and comfortable, and the private bathroom and sink was convenient.

I only stayed one night :(

10mins walk from station, with convenience shops and restaurants around. One day I went to Shinjuku from this hotel by train, only took me about 30mins, honestly the price is fair enough. Have to say it surprised me when I spread out my 29-inch suitcase inside the room, the room space is totally big enough for it.

Can’t pay for overtime stay, it was a little pity for me, last day here packed my stuff in a rush. BTW the bathrooms are too small, and you have to bring a bag to bring clean clothes into bathroom, otherwise would have to put them with those you take off

Staff were so lovely. Everything was very clean. If you like the idea of a hostel dorm with the privacy of a capsule, then this is the perfect place. Amenities well stocked and the surrounding neighbourhood has everything you need. The common room and kitchen is so clean. Laundry available and just overall, a great place if you are on a budget and don't mind sharing facilities.

Other than not really being able to temperature control your own cabin (I feel the heat a lot- so thats a me problem), there was nothing else I would complain about!

Very clean, surprisingly cozy rooms and bed, also the noise wasn’t too bad either! Great and friendly staff. The lounge was nice to hang out in and do work.

The shower doesn’t have anywhere to put your toiletries. I think a shelf or something would be nice to set some stuff. The changing sheets protocol is a bit confusing. It says to not put the sign on door if you don’t want the sheets changed so on the day I wanted sheets changed I didn’t put it on the door but they said cuz I didn’t have it on my door they didn’t change the sheets.

If you ever travel to Tokyo and do NOT want to stay near all "the" famous sites but want to experience real Tokyo suburbs with easy access to food, supermarket and public transport, this is the area/place to choose. The place is as clean and well organized as it can get. The staff is exceptional friendly and helpful. Had a great experience and would come again.

Since my experience from "younger years," one should not expect a real "hostel vibe". For my wife and me that was perfectly fine. I experienced no greeting or hardly no interest from the other guest to get in communication with people they don't know. Again: that is just an issue if you are expecting it.

The people 🩷🩷🩷 the hosts, Tea and the rest of that gang who were there when I checked in from the 8th of Dec. Love them! They let you check in agead if check in time. Then, the first night I bothered Nao, the night shift crew TWICE after midnight cause I had troubles with my locker. But he helped me with the sweetest smile. I love him coz epecially he really goes out of his way to help guests, one time he helped a guest an elder man to take care of his leftovers, food trash and did everything for him (you are supposed to take care of your own trash etc after your meal) and when he is in the night shift Nao takes care of the kitchen spotless clean,like organizing and sanitizing kitchen stuff and storing them properly so other guests won't run out of stuff to use coz kitchen dining is 24 hours open. Then came the lovely Yuri, another favorite of mine who also makes sure I enjoy my stay, and very very courteous. Then Tomo, another lovely host who made sure I got booking on my limousine bus back to the airport coz Japanese website when translated into English becomes a weird place. Then the Italian bella Rena who made me feel at home even when my Italian partner is back in my home country.THE PEOPLE ALONE MAKES THE PLACE WARM ON A WINTER SEASON. the facilities are superb and you have a very good privacy. I WILL SURELY COME BACK!

Maybe dim the lights a bit buy I understand when someone needs to.prep his or her food need to be well lit ☺️

This hostel is extraordinarily clean and welcoming. It sits right near the Chuo train line which can take you right into downtown Tokyo (Eastward) or right near Mt Fuji (Westward). The rooms are spacious and the staff are very nice and helpful. The communal kitchen is also really nice. They offer complimentary razors, combs, and other things as part of your stay too which was very helpful as I did not bring that stuff with me. Also, the Studio Ghibli office is close by to here which I did not know. I walked past it completely by chance. You're not allowed to go inside, I just thought it was interesting. - I won't write this part in the "What didn't you like" section of this review as it is not the hostel's fault as they have signs everywhere telling people NOT to slam doors and talk in their rooms) but some inconsiderate guests disregard them. They do offer earplugs and I did have to tell one person that they could not talk on the phone in their room to which they stopped but just to all future guests thinking of booking this place: please be mindful of other guests during your stay. Otherwise no complaints about this place and I would highly recommend staying here on your trip to Tokyo.

The staff were super friendly and VERY helpful. The facilities are excellent, the location is great considering its proximity to the the train as well as to interesting restaurants. There is a very nice park nearby for walking or doing excercises. The value for money was ridiculously good. If you don't mind sharing a (very clean!) bathroom, don't hesitate to book.

Honestly, I can't think of anything that was missing. The information about the local area was excellent, and everything exceeded my expectations.
