What I liked about the plat was how modern and clean it was. I didn’t feel like I was at a hostel at all! The bed and amount of space that we had was perfect for me and my boyfriend. It’s conveniently a close walk to 7-11, Family Mart, and the Minowa station. We also walked from there to the main Asakusa area in about 15 minutes.

There were two things that made the stay uncomfortable: the locks not showing red when locked and the other guests being so loud. There are locks for the showers and toilets, but some stay green even if locked, so it made me anxious that people would try to open the door while I’m doing my business. They do lock, but even I accidentally tried to open a door while someone was showering. Then the other guests, it’s as if they have never stayed at a hostel before. Maybe it was just our time there or only our floor, but people would leave the sink space drenched in water and were loud early in the morning and night everyday. Someone was also doing laundry from 11pm to 2am one of the days.

The hostel is nice and very, very pretty. The decor is great, which is very rare for hostels or shared houses and for me it definitely makes it feel like it's better or fancier. But facility-wise, it's just like other hostels: has a small kitchen, one laundry machine, bathrooms are shared (1 per floor of about 10 rooms, with 1 shower booth and toilet seat). One particularly good thing about this one was the lounge though, it's a great space for working or chilling. Two things I didn't like in the room were:1) the lighting, which consists of 1 lamp on only one side of the room, so the bed is always in the dark. Not great if you plan to read something. And 2) the floor was quite dusty in the bedroom, which is kind of unexpected in Japan. They give you free slippers though, which compensates for that.

My stay in one of the ground floor rooms was amazing. The room is spacious and comes with its own humidifier and aircon. The hostel is located 2 blocks away from the nearest major road and you can sleep soundly without the usual train/highway sounds in Tokyo. The staff were very polite and communicates well. The shared toilet and shower are also always clean.

Your main transport here will be the Hibiya metro - Minowa station. The exits from this station can be quite confusing (different depending on your train direction's platform). There are lifts to help if you are travelling with suitcases/strollers, they are a bit hidden so make sure to study the area well.

I liked that it was quiet, and it was convenient to use the bathroom without having to wait in line.

The location was a bit far from the metro, making it less convenient for getting around. The facilities were okay but nothing special. Our clothes rack was broken, and we only had one hanger. In the shower area, there was hardly any space to put personal items, so we had to leave them on the floor.

the place was cute, it has elevator and kitchen

The room was stuffy with no window and smelled stuffy so we had to keep the door open for a while for ventilation and obviously anyone can see the whole room when passing by, which was not comfortable. Mind you it was December, so winter. Also, the walls are so thin that we could listen to everything. Our room was the first in the hall and could hear someone in the bathroom at the end of the same hall (about 5 or 6 rooms away). Beds were futon over wood but pretty thin so it wasn't very comfortable.

Fantastic location!! The staff were so friendly too and recommended me areas :) the rooms were great for a single traveller, enough space to put your things. You won’t even feel that you’re living with other people with the bathrooms, they’re so clean! Never had any issues using the shower room as well or had to wait, but who knows how it is in busier months. Location is seriously amazing, 7-11 close by and near train stations too!

Nothing, nada I wish I stayed here all of my trip in tokyo

The hostel is really clean and well organised, everything from shampoo to cotton sticks is available. The location is a little further from the main attractions, but it's just a few minutes away from the subway.

Nothing special, but keep in mind that double rooms are quite small, so would only book one with partner or close friends. The staff is not super fluent in English, so communication might take a bit longer than expected.

Staff were excellent, very friendly and good English. The rooms were tidy, reasonably sized (by Japanese standards), almost like a business hotel as much as a hostel. there were plenty of showers and toilets, although they are shared, but never had to wait for one and they were always exceptionally tidy. clothes washing was available for a small fee.

The location isn't really anything special, there's enough food and convenience stores around to serve most evenings, but we just used it as a base to visit more popular areas. It is a 5 minute walk to the Hibiya subway line (with a convenience store on-route), there are trains every few minutes that can take you to Akihabara or Ueno, and you can switch to the Yamanote line after that to access most of Tokyo. Otherwise no issues at all, was a great stay considering the low price.

The staff was so helpful, I needed a convertor to charge my phone and they made an effort to provide me with the correct charger. I also felt incredibly safe inside the hostel and it was meticulously clean.

I stayed on the third floor, closest to the elevator, and that meant the bathroom was down the hall. The ladies bathroom only had one shower, and the walls were a little thin, so I could hear guests coming in after a night on the town.

The people who work there are so so kind and the facilities were very good and clean. We also loved Minowa, such a cosy neighbourhood away from busy spots and close to a subway.

We slept on the ground floor next to the kitchen which forced us to sleep during ‘silent hours’ from 11pm to 8pm. Not a very big deal but we didnt go out at night because of this.
