Great location--a few minutes walk to the nearest train station. It's in a quiet neighborhood with food and souvenir shops + convenience stores nearby. Spacious rooms and shared bathrooms were very clean and well-maintained. Beds are comfy--though pillows can be a little bigger :) Free towels included in our room. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Appreciate the simple breakfast in the morning. The wifi can be problematic at times, but it's tolerable. :) Would stay here again!

We loved the fresh air circulating through the hotel. We loved being able to eat our breakfast on the little balcony right on the street where we could watch the world passing by. Our room had a window we could open wide. The bathrooms were spotless, the 24/7 reception is essential when arriving from the airport. We knew it didn't matter how delayed our flight may be, we'd still have a bed at the end of it. We love the cafe and the free breakfast. Value for money is exceptional. Location is also brilliant - short walk to Nippori Station which is one of the stations where the Narita Skytrain stops. The rooms are remarkably quiet. Ours was on a side street, and we heard nothing. Either the other guests are very well behaved or the walls have great insulation, because we never heard noise from any of the other rooms, or in the corridors. The staff are exceptionally helpful and polite. We were able to store a bag there until we retuned to the hotel at the end of our Japan trip. We have stayed at Sakura Nippori on previous trips, and will do so again. I recommend it to anyone I know travelling to Tokyo. The tatami rooms are lovely. I slept SO well!

It was in a surprisingly good location, as long as you're willing to put in the work to push/pull your luggage to the hotel. This area is very retro and homey - I enjoyed the nearby shops and restaurants immensely. In the hotel, they have luggage storage, and a quick check in. The staff are very helpful and from what I can see, all speak English. I got a twin bunk room to myself (which I asked and paid for), and luckily they put me on the top floor in the quietest room. Shower stalls are coed, but quite comfortable with shampoo/body soap provided, and I never had to wait. Bed is adequately comfortable, with pillow and towel provided. The cafe downstairs is open 24 hours with great wifi, with an open kitchen for whenever you get the nibbles. They also partner with a farmhouse, which provides some fresh ingredients, including herb teas. As I work on US time, I utilized the cafe through the night for work and meetings - very handy. Laundry is also on site - just ask the front desk for change, and detergent is provided.

Wifi in the room was nonexistent. Having to stick your room key for lights was a bit annoying. I don't think my outlet in the bunk bed cubby worked. I had to charge my phone separately from the socket near the couch, which was inconvenient. Laundry is expensive - it cost me 800 yen (roughly $7 USD) to do 1 load of washing and drying. The first night in the cafe was loud, and I had to camp out in the private party room that the cafe had because I had meetings going. This also costs 1000 yen to rent, which I understand, but at the same time, I wish the cafe had told them to quiet down during quiet hours.

I really liked the location. Aside from being near Yanaka Ginza, it is also located in a place with lots of stores that sell great food. Very near subway and has direct access to the Skyliner line. There is also a nearby Matsuya and Lawson in case you run out of options. I think it's a very good option for big groups since the Japanese hotel industry charges per person per night. It's very cheap.

WIFI sometimes drops. WIFI from the cafe is good though. Oh, and our room does not have a mirror in the bathroom. But you can use the ones in the shared bathroom.

The property was clean and very near Nippori Station and Sendagi Station (a quiet neighborhood). Checking in was also a breeze and the staff were very easy to talk to. There was also a 24hr coin laundry beside the cafe which was really helpful as I had to wash clothes I intended to use again during our stay. The price we paid for also included light breakfast which we really appreciate since we didn’t want to get breakfast outside as we start the day.

The heater in the room did not seem to work well. I did not mind but my friend caught colds during our stay and she had a hard time staying warm at night. The shared bath also tend to get really messy at certain times but it’s mostly because of the guests.

My room was simple Tatami room. Very comfortable to sleep. Location was nice. Nearby hotel, there were enough places to buy food or to eat. There was a Sento(public bath) not too far from the hotel, so I could go there and relax. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was too simple and not many choices, but it was ok. Walls were a bit dirty, but room/common area was well cleaned, so it is ok.

The facility and staff was great. They provided printed information concerning interisting places to visit around the area and the location of the two closes transit points, one of them to the Narita International Airport.

They indicated that breakfast was provided, I would argue that bread, broth and tea or coffee does not truly constitute breakfast. I know that this is also done at other facilities in Europe but it is a misnomer and not so common in South east Asia. But it does provide a compliment of thing for breakfast a a reasonable price.

Location is amazing, close to a metro station and there's some local restaurants around the area. And if you want a late night snack , then there's a 7 Eleven and Lawson that's nearby. and you have a facility to wash / dry your clothes (have some change for it)

Loved the easy access to Nippori and Sendagi stations. The plentiful shower and bathroom stalls were kept exceptionally clean despite the large number of guests using them. The laundromat was also a godsend, worth the payment. There's a Lawson and pharmacy next to the place that's super convenient along with a shopping district with lots of both touristy and neighbourhood shops and restaurants. Free breakfast with bread with condiments and daily special soup helps save you the hassle and cost of going to the convenience store. For those booking the bunk bed room, there's plenty of space to for two even with large luggage. Very quiet neighbourhood with no nightlife around so great for peace and quiet.

Twin bunk bed room was a bit old and showing its age, not much furnishing besides a table, chair and couch so your belongings might get messy. Balcony did not have any drying racks so you might need to drape your wet clothes on the railing or dry them on the curtain railing indoors. Typical poor insulation common in Japanese homes, so it can get cold real fast in winter but the air-conditioner helps a lot. Quite some distance from main Nippori station; if going through the Yuuyake-dandan stairs with heavy luggage, this can be pretty awful. (Consider going to Nishi-nippori instead with heavier luggage)

We did like the location a lot. In the heart of Tokyo's hidden treasure - one of the last tracitional areas - Yanaka Ginza. It is also a walking distance from Nippori trainsation, and Ueno station isn't far either. Stuff was nice and helpful, place was basic but clean. Amd great value for the price
