Bathroom, wash bathing are located in the basement. Otherwise no way to get to tap.

Close to Shinjuku, means in the central of Tokyo

Shower system is pretty weird. All showers are together in a room in the basement where you have to strip down together. Cleaning staff is pretty horrible, in my opinion. If I managed this hostel, I would get rid of the entire cleaning staff and start fresh. From the (female) cleaning staff not leaving the men’s showers while men are taking showers (meaning I had to ask her to leave while I was dressing and undressing), to the walls and floors being covered in grime, they really don’t do a good job. The soap bottle in the bathroom was empty the entire time I was there, toilet paper was on the floor of the toilet, and the toilet in the shared space looked like a crime scene. If this hostel fixed these issues, it would be a really good place to stay.

Location is fantastic. Price is very fair. I upgraded from the economy room to the luxury room and was actually paying less in the luxury room. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Quick walk to subway station. Balcony in common area on 8th floor was fantastic.

I think some showers had mold.

My room was ready when I arrived in the morning and they let me check in straight away. Front desk speaks fluent English and is very friendly. Balcony overlooking the street is great at night. Beds were clean and comfy. Very affordable.

The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the place is showing its age a bit.

I didn’t like you have to pay separately for showers.

Staff was friendly and good and let me leeave my bag before and after check out which was really good.

Bed is not very comfortable after a day of walking in the city. The cleaning was not very done but it is ok for a short stay.

Location and price were great. For this price, you can’t expect a perfect hotel, so you have to be an adaptative person who does not need lots of comfort.

Other very noisy people not following the quiet hours. Bathrooms were just so so.

Really kind and nice staff. Good accessibility and easy check-in and check out process.

The showers could have been so much cleaner.

Facility not well maintained, everything is old, in quite bad shape, and overall quite dirty, especially for Japanese standards.

The bed offers good privacy

Very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you’d need.

Facilities and cleanliness could've been better. The beds are quite thin and hard, also the common room on the 9th floor has a pretty cold atmosphere it's not that great for meeting people or relaxing. Lastly the lockers were pretty small so it's not the best for keeping all your belongings safe.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the location was good as well.

- Biggest problem is cleanliness. And trust me I am absolutely not the type of person to complain about this. But I am positive that the bathroom of the mixed dormitory was NOT cleaned once, not even once during the 5 nights we spent there. There was dust and hair and dirt in every corner. I stained the inside of a sink with foundation one day and I couldn’t wash it away bcs I did not have a sponge. That stain is probably still there and most probably will persist for eternity. The little kitchen on the top floor had some chopsticks and plates and glasses, but it was just too gross to use because the detergent was diluted with water and it was useless- you can’t wash your plate properly so it stays sticky. Girls bathroom was clean tho, and you have a space to leave your stuff and change before hopping in the shower. For the boys’ shower you either get creative on how to shower with your boxers in the cabin or you don’t mind presenting yourself nude in the common men bathroom hallway. -This is a place where you have to use your imagination a lot in order to only see its potential. We suspect it was an old office building that was reinterpreted as a hostel. Because everything could’ve been so nice but it wasn’t, actually. They just did their best with what it was.

- Friendly personnel - Big beds- my bf and I booked two beds (obvi) but ended up sleeping together in the same capsule because it was big enough for both. -Clean sheets - Possibility to leave baggage after check-out - International crowd- you can end up making friends if you don’t mind introducing yourself -It is literally 1 min away from the metro station. You still have to take the metro for two stations to get to the central area of Shinjuku otherwise it’s a 40 mins walk so ask yourself, if you already hop in the metro isn’t it worth booking something nicer but further for the same price range? -It is cheap/ the cheapest option for Shinjuku, but then again you do have to take the metro to get to the tourist area, so what’s the point? For the same price we got a nice 4 star hotel room in Kyoto so I think prices are a bit higher just because of the position.

Adjust your expectations, particularly regarding overall cleanliness.

This place is excellent for budget-conscious solo travelers looking to meet fellow adventurers. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Bathrooms were dirty and smelly. Really tiny lockers where you can only fit a hand bag. There is nobody at the reception during the night so if you have a problem, fix it yourself or wait until the morning. We had some noisy and annoying people in our dorm but couldnt make anything because there was nobody at the reception. Seems there were some long term guests who didnt care about the rest. Plug in the cabin was not very convenient as its quite high

The staff was very nice and the bed was confy

Stayed in March 2024

Bed is pretty hard, common area is empty, Wi-Fi isn’t too good and the showers is in the basement.

The Price is good and the location could not be better in Shinjuku just next to the metro and convenient stores. New showering towel everyday is pretty nice tho

Stayed in March 2024

Run down, not super clean, and beds are uncomfortable.

The location is handy as you’re very close to the main shinjuku area without the high prices of shinjuku. About a 5min subway and 30min walk away. Staff were fabulous! Super friendly, helpful, and kind.

Old place but still highly recommended

Near to Shinjuku but on a quiet area

Facilities: Outdated. This is the only hostel I stayed in Japan that doesn't equip the automated toliet but that's certainly not a big deal. The light in the bunk was dim. The most important problem was the shower room. 1. The shower room was badly maintain and not really clean. 2. There're only 4 shower rooms for each gender but there're 5 stories of bunks in this hostel. 3. In normal hostels, the would be a clothes changing room in the showerroom but it's not the case here. Which means that YOU WILL MEET NUDE GUYS in the public or YOU WILL BE NUDE APPERANCE in the public (but this applies to same-gender scenarios though). But this can be avoided in manage your shower time. Some people mentioned the bunk hard but I thought the bed was just okayish--never brought problems for me. Overall, the hostel isn't that bad considering the price and the pricey Tokyo. But those decades old facilities do need some modern maintanence.

Location: Quite good, adjacent to metro station, with several restaurants around. Located in the residential area (I guess so). Staff: Nice, friendly. By the way the common room was nice. You can either stay their doing your own business, chat with someone else, or cook food.

When the night comes and no workers are in the structure, many guest forget the importance of "silence rules". In two nights I experienced telephone calls, somebody eating chips, and drunk guests speaking loud after 2am. Another very negative aspect is the metal wardrobe which makes noises every time it is opened and closed with the key (especially considering that it is very close to the beds...) The kitchen is also a disaster (a few old cutlery, 4 rigid plastic Ikea plates that can't even be degreased with hot water because only cold water comes out of the taps).

The reception team is wonderful- I would go back just to talk to them because with their willingness to talk about Japan they made me understand they really appreciate what they do! I stayed in the mixed dormitory. The bed is comfortable and really spacious. General cleanliness is good, although many people enter and exit the bathrooms with the wrong flip flops.

The shower room was filthy, unfortunately. There was mold and lime on the walls, the shower drains were clogged and the water started to pool up. The amenities (shampoo and body soap) are low quality and there's no conditioner.

Very friendly and welcoming staff at the reception. The rooms were fairly clean, the beds were spacious and comfy (but not much). The location is very good! About 2min walk away from the nearest subway station. There are convenience stores, restaurants and other stores around to explore.
