Very calm & clean hostel. The beds are really comfortable & Sanae has thought of everything - there are hooks, sockets, personalised lock boxes, all that you need. I love that Sanae does recycling. It is a tiny hostel so don’t expect parties. But it’s safe, friendly & comfortable & in a wonderful part of Tokyo. Very easy walk from Koenji station

Very nice place! I only stayed for two nights, but they were my first nights at Tokyo and honestly, the location was awesome, as soon as you go to the main road (2mins) you can see in one side the Skytree and on the other the Asahi building. Very clean place and nice common areas. The reception area is very comfy and it gets quite busy sometimes which is lovely if you’re solo travelling for meeting people or just chilling on your own. Also they serve really nice coffe!

It is excellent value for money. Well located on several metro lines, it's an easy walk away from them in a quiet street. The kitchen / lounge space is wide and mostly free, great for breakfast or a quick break during the day.It's great that you can let yourself in at night if you arrive late. The beds Are comfortable and I liked that we were only four in the room leaving space to store our luggages. The bathroom was clean and the body soap, shampoo and conditioner smell heavenly. Lastly the staff was helpful and very nice. Thank you for a great stay!

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.
