Good location, just one block away, one street at most, from Ōkubo Station. A good place to spend less in Tokyo if you don’t want to stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku, and still want to be close by train it’s a good option

Akasaka guest house hive is a home away from home with staff that genuinely value your wellbeing. Every staff member is accomodating and go the extra mile to assist you. I had misplaced an item during an evening visit to shibuya and one of the staff members, Kaori, went out of her way to call various venues and eventually helped me find it! The best aspects of staying at HIVE besides the awesome staff are: - Shibuya and shinjuku can easily be reached from this location - The hostel bed areas are spacious and have ample compartments for hanging clothes and valuables - The common area had murals decorated by travellers which gave the hostel a homely touch - The kitchen area had food items that were free - Convenience stores and trains are within walking distance You definitely leave as a friend!

Friendly and cooperative staff. One of them didn't know English well, but we can always use a Translate app and it worked like a breeze. It's a new property and well maintained. While many people are not happy about location, I actually enjoyed walking from Metro to here (about 12 minutes). It's a peaceful area. Senso-ji temple and surrounding market is just 5-7 minutes walking in the evening. While temple closes in the evening, it's a different vibe altogether.

Perfect hostel experience. I love the minimalist decor! (I came here after cancelling another hostel that didn't meet my expectations) The hostel is SO spacious. I loved the separate areas for showering, sinks, makeup, bathroom. Loved the fact that the rooms have enough space to unpack and pack. Also the STAFF is SO SWEET. Thank you everyone. This was a great experience.

One thing distinguishes COGO Ryogoku from other hostels I’ve stayed in - the staff members warmth and kindness. They’re all Japanese but speak English fluently so you won’t have any issue with communication. I didn’t have the opportunity to converse with each of them, but those I had the opportunity to share a conversation with were very kind and friendly. The others seemed very nice nonetheless ! The room and bathroom are cleaned daily by hard working staff so if you see something dirty blame your roommates for lack of hostel etiquette. The huge common area and kitchen on the reception floor is another great point that distinguishes COGO Ryogoku from other hostels. There are tables where you can sit comfortably to work, eat or even socialise with the other guests and staff members. This open space is very welcoming and open all day/ night. If you need a private space to work, you can rent one for a cheap price. Barely a 5 minute walk from Ryogoku station, it is easily accessible and can get to anywhere in Tokyo quickly. The closest convenience store is a 10 second walk from the entrance of the building, very convenient for late night cravings ! Thank you again for all your help and your kindness !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
