Well, I thought that the staff was very helpful and friendly. they worked very hard, at least from what I saw from them. Everything was extremely clean, bathroom , toilet, shower, and kitchen. Also it is the little things that make the stay. For instance, the electric tea kettle very quick to boil water. The mircowave and toaster oven also a big plus. Thanks again my stay was Awesome!!

I can't thing of anything

Location a bit away from the center of city, making it a perfect spot for relaxing after a day of activities in town as there is less noises. Make sure not to forget to bring your own amenities as they only provides shampoo and soap but otherwise it's a nice place if you're looking for a dorm-like hostel experience

The wi-fi connection isn't very stable, I had to revert back on using my mobile connection sometimes because I couldn't access the internet

So cheap for such a good location, very comfortable near Ikebukuro station with all the trains and metro, clean and with nice services and spaces! Also very quiet. The bar at the first floor is very good too 😉

We started and ended our 2.5 week holiday in Tokyo. This hostel was so good that we booked it again for our return. Ikebukuro is an awesome area with less tourists and such great stuff to discover. GDIC is great value! Highly recommend if you want to spend your dollars on Tokyo experiences instead of blowing it all on accommodation. Check out the awesome shopping complex rooftops nearby with gardens, food, drinks.

Needs more cutlery... or maybe I just never found it

Everything except the check-in.

Check-in was not very smooth. I didn't receive any check-in details in advance, and there was no staff around. I arrived around evening time, and the temperature was low and freezing.. been waited and tried to contact the staff for more than 20mins until the staff from the bar (not even hostel staff) helped us to get in the hostel. She is helpful and kind. While waiting for the response from hostel, she even invited us to wait in the bar. Much appreciated for her help.

It's a comfortable hostel. Close to both Ikebukuro station and Otsuka station. The bed was okay to sleep on, and at least in the women's only dorm there were place to store large luggage and hang clothes. The staff was kind and helpful.

Had to carry the luggage to the 3rd floor as there were no elevators. I knew this before booking, but considered the cost and distance to the station as well, and found this to be acceptable.

The property is close to Ikebukuro train station. The beds are okay. The lobby room is nice, there are fridge and microwave. My friend wasn't feeling well and they allowed her to stay in bed after checkout.

The rooms are very small. There is almost no private space for items besides bed.

I absolutely LOVED my stay here. The days I stayed, it was only me and one other guest so the entire dorm was empty. The price was incredibly reasonable, only a 20 minute walk from the main city of Ikebukuro, I will absolutely say here again. I am amazed that the place wasnt fully booked. The staff were also very friendly and gave me a hand to take my heavy suitcase down the stairs and outside.

The hotel price has been rising especially for Japanese, so this price value was acceptable and helpful.

I didn’t bring my towel because I expected I can rent it, but I arrived at hostel late so I tried to rent in the morning. But there wasn’t staff in the morning and I needed to contact them before hand if I want to rent. It was nice if they noticed me or write it here.

The staff were very friendly and helped me out a lot with information and places to eat. Exceptionally clean and in a fantastic central location! I have life long memories from this place 🙂
