I had a nice stay at Nui Hostel. I stayed in the dorm and it was very comfortable. There was absolutely no noise coming from the bar at the ground floor. I enjoyed particularly the facilities, like the open area on the 6th floor reserved for the hotel guests, ideal to do some work, to relax or to cook yourself something. The hotel is not on the Yamanote line, which for me was not a problem at all. I actually appreciated greatly how close it is to Senso-ji in Asakusa, and I would definitely recommend it especially if it's not your first time in Tokyo and you are looking forward to explore the eastern wards of the city (Taito, Sumida, Bunkyo, ecc).

I booked the room + breakfast. The food was good, but quite inexplicably there is no coffee/tea included. That's another 500Y I had to pay every morning. What's the point to serve breakfast without coffee or tea?

Convenient, affordable hostel in a quiet/trendy/local area of Tokyo that is well connected to other, busier areas of the city by subway. Everything was clean and well organized. Staff was friendly.

The common space upstairs was relatively small, and given that the cafe/bar on the ground floor is a public business, I didn't feel as comfy just hanging out there for a long time (e.g., I needed to buy something); not as social as I was hoping. The aesthetic of the rooms is a bit austere and the beds not super comfy (but felt like the norm for Japan).

It’s an attractive property aesthetically. It is a calm location along the Sumida River. Breakfast was of good quality. The facilities were clean.

If you are stupid like me and are finishing up your epic snowboard trip and have to cart around 3 bags, then I would suggest that you do not stay here as the subways are not easy to navigate with a lot of luggage due to all the stairs. I would suggest staying closer to the JR Yamanote Line instead. The hostel does not want any hostel guests to use the cafe/bar downstairs to eat their own food/drinks, this area is off limits, you need to go up to the 6th floor to eat your own food and drink.

Asakusa is not close to Shibuya etc (about 45 mins into these areas) BUT it's got a very local energy about it, there was a temple event happening just across the road one of the days with lots of locals about. The hostel is super clean, rooms are what you expect for a hostel, their brunch and coffee are banging and its got a good evening vibe if you're looking for a chill drink after a long day - lots of opportunities to meet some cool people.

Maybe a bit far to get to some tourist attractions but also Tokyo is massive so you're never going to be near everything. On the welcome card it says you have to pay for a towel but that is now included which is good :) Staff were pleasant enough!

Relaxed vibe in a peaceful location of Kuramae! Very easy to get to from the airport - one train and they stored my luggage. Check in not until 4pm, but as I arrived from London at 9am the reception was kind enough to let me in at 2:30pm for a nap. I had a private room with shared facilities- toilet and shower. I think this place is fantastic value for money. All other guests very quiet and respectful of each other. The bar downstairs is actually so relaxing to sit alone/read/write or just have a gin and tonic after a day of sightseeing! Very cosy vibe and played great music. I enjoyed this place so much, I am returning when I come back to Tokyo!

Nothing

The room and bathroom were spacious (for a hostel) and clean. The location was a little far from Shibuya and Shinjuku but it was a great location in terms of seeing things in Asakusa and walking to local bars and restaurants and the river and the Senso-ji Temple. It was also very social which I loved and the bar in the lobby was a little pricey but it was fun to go there every night because there were both fellow travelers and locals there.

The ledge in the showers to put your clothes could have been bigger like in the sister hostel in Kyoto.

Staff is very nice and cleans the hostel everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, has multiple floors connected via staircase/lift. The sixth floor is used as lounge where you can bring you own food/cook and eat there as well as a laptop working stations. There is a lovely roof to hang out and watch the sunset (rooftop closes around 22:00). Beds are good, they provide sheets and you make your own bed. Toilets and showers and good and provided with amenities such as different soaps etc.

Sometimes there are guests who are loud but it is very rare and can happen anywhere. Loud snoring people as well

I loved the location and its proximity to a lot of the touristy things I was interested in ie sky tree, senjo temple, akihbara. I also loved the cafe/bar area; was a great way to meet people and start/end the day.

As is the case for everywhere, space for belongings. There’s only one very small locker for your things and a space under the bed for your bag- not locked. This wasn’t a super huge problem for me as I only had carry on and could empty my bag and fit all of my packing cubes into my locker but keep this in mind

The common areas seem taken out of a pinterest picture. The upper floor holds a very nice kitchen and common room to work, chill, study or meet people. Very convenient for those seeking some time for themselves. There is an iMAC to work on. Plenty of bathrooms, and showers on every single floor. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. The first floor, which is restaurant/bar, is a great area to meet local people and foreigners.

The price is a little bit higher than usual, and the bar below is what I would say is pricey, expect to pay 600 yen for your coffee and probably 2000 yen if you go for a course and a drink. However, nobody is making you go there, so it's up to you. It's a great add on to a hostel.

The refined and well stocked bar, the cafe with the flower shop set up inside providing decor but also a sense of community. As such the ground floor area intermixing these elements draws locals and travellers alike, and provides a cool ambience to while away time, meet new people or simply enjoy the great food and drink. It feels pretty novel in this sense and a much more holistic experience than a hotel or travellers only hostel. Staff are excellent

I reserved a single room. It was comfortable enough bunk bed setup in a small concrete room, not great value for the price but then its not really the main reason you choose to stay here. It's a quiet residential area but well served with transport links and has the Sensoji temple nearby. Provides a nice counterpoint vs staying in say the madness of Shibuya, so I would rate this as a positive, but if you're a mad crazy party animal that only wants uptime, stay elsewhere. For everyone's sake
