This place is so beautiful and charming. You feel like you stepped back in time (but with all modern amenities). The beds were so comfy and the pajamas were a nice, relaxing touch. We had everything we could need—and more! Did not expect to be able to play the records I bought on my trip, but there was a record player! I liked how the location was away from the city center but super easy to get anywhere with the train right there! The staff were the absolute best—from delivering incredible breakfasts every morning to helping my friend get his lost phone back by helping us with communication. 10/10 would stay here again and will tell all my friends ❤️

There was nothing I didn’t like! I saw some complaints about noise from previous stays, yet that was not our experience. I would say that the stairs are very steep, but there is also the availability (if you ask) for a bed to be set up downstairs. They are so accommodating!

The space is truly as stunning as the photos. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive via Whatsapp. The daily breakfasts were such a treat and honestly some of the favorite meals for myself and my traveling companions. The Shimbamba station is truly right next door making it very easy to reach the rest of Tokyo, while being a quieter oasis away from the more noisy parts of the city.

It does get a little noisy at night, because there are bars very close by and the older walls are thin. Nothing intolerable, but occasionally you might hear a street cat.

We had the most lovely stay at Bamba. We were awed by the beauty of the space, the quality of the furnishings and amenities, and most of all by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. This was our favorite place we stayed of in all of Japan, and a beautiful blending of western luxury within a local Japanese neighborhood and space. The breakfasts were delicious and always made and delivered with love, and we felt so welcomed, taken care of, and comfortable at Bamba.

Beautiful renovation and fun interior. Breakfast and bonus cookies were great! Super close from train station and convenience store! Host was super friendly and courteous, also the personalized notes with the going away cookie presents were a nice touch too. Highly recommended!

Both sides of the property were super late, almost till morning bars and one of the nights some drunk folks were talk in front of the main entrance for a while, other times a man kept on coming back and staring at the door (observed from convenience store). Stairs are a bit dangerous but no problem for young folks. Train and vehicle noises bit high in one of the top rooms.

This was a charming, traditional house in a nice neighborhood. The breakfast was delicious! It was helpful to have a washing machine. There was a good supply of dishes, tea, and coffee. The best part, though, were the helpful and kind hosts! We were met upon arrival and from then on, they answered all of our questions when we asked and even gave us suggestions. They even placed a phone call for us because we needed help with the language. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

The stairs were hard to navigate and we kept bumping our head. But the house was full of charm and warmth.

A very special place to stay. Thank you so much to everyone at Bamba House, especially Azusa. Location is great, such a fab area. Extremely comfortable beds and linens, with useful and luxurious touches throughout. You can feel the love and attention that has gone into this place. We didn’t want to leave! Before booking we thought it would be good- it was so much more! The area is wonderful- lovely to walk around, good food. Interesting history. The breakfast provided was great.

The charm of the traditional Japanese townhouse has been retained beautifully while also upgrading for western comfort. The beds were super comfy and the main bed was massive! Lovely PJs provided too. We took the western breakfast which was delicious pastries delivered daily. Coffee shop across the road had the best coffee I found in Japan, but only open Mon-Fri. Short walk to a gorgeous street with loads of great food options. Two small bars directly downstairs, and local train only two doors down. Staff were so friendly and helpful. It was fabulous having the whole place to ourselves. We loved our stay!

For a family of 5 with too much luggage it was a bit tight on storage space for bags, but if you travel more sensibly you’d be fine.

It's a very cute little cozy wooden house, each room was well thought out and everything you need is there for a small family of 5. Super convenient as the train station is just around the corner. Easy to get to places and very cute little quiet suburb neighborhood and has good local restaurants around the area with convenient store just across the street. Beds were very comfortable, cute tatame dining area. Breakfast options of excellent bread selections or Japanese bento. Kimmy was super friendly and helpful making sure our breakfast delivered the night before our early morning excursion and came to send us off at 6:45am our last day. It's one of those places, the more you stay, the more you like, very charming. We would definitely come back to stay again.

It took me second or third night to figure how to turn off some of the lights, but all good. The stairs is a little steep, so not great for elderly or really young kids. Little ones may enjoy climbing it but will need supervision,

The breakfast was delicious and always on time. They adapted to our food preferences and offered a vegetarian option, which was great. The food was still warm upon arrival and the sizing was more than enough food for one person. They also had a great coffee machine that we used a lot. The building is beautiful and all necessary amenities were offered. It's a traditional house with beautiful architecture that they turned into a cozy place to stay. Comfortable beds and the sink in the upstairs bedroom is a nice touch. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, huge thanks to them. Also, there is a nice cafe just around the corner and the subway connection is quite good.

Due to the building being quite close to a subway station and a major road as well as being a traditional style house, it was quite noisy. Even at night, you could hear cars or trains passing. Thankfully they offered ear plugs which helped with the noise at night - I had no trouble sleeping, but for people very sensitive to noise it might be something to consider in advance. It should also be noted that the building is a traditional structure, so for people with mobility issues the steep staircase to the upstairs bedroom area might be an issue.

the service was great, clean , authentic guest house with rustic charm. loved the bedroom and comfy bed. breakfast was made with love. kimmy and azusa went their way with their warm hospitality and provided muslim halal friendly booklet. loved the house would stay again if in tokyo, fond memories ! arigatou for making it special for my family.

location was bit far from city centre however all is good
