There is only one shower room, so do take note it could get busy at night. Personally this was not a problem for me!

The hostel owner was extremely kind, and made conversation with me despite the language barrier. There is a small communal area where you can heat up your food and listen to records - I enjoyed doing that extremely much!

Only one shower so have to time it, no towels, staff limited English only come when you ring them so will need an to beable to use sim in japan.

Clean tidy rooms, has small kitchen area with kettle and microwave. Close to train and shops, lots of food options.

Great owner. The place is also so welcoming and has in my view a particular charm. It is kept sobre sometimes looks like tinkering but always it keeps a certain elegance and style. Difficult to describe but I just loved it. Air conditioning also in the room which is very appreciated in warm and humid end of June. Great vynils also.

The only slight downside was that noise travelled into my room from outside - heavy rain (to be fair it was a typhoon so a bit more loud than usual!), trucks from the nearby fire station, and some kind of workmen. However they provide earplugs to help with this and I think it might have been specific to my room (the single room at the back on the ground floor). Not a big deal at all but maybe something to mention to the host if you're a light sleeper :)

I really enjoyed my stay here! The staff are so friendly and it was fun to chat with them about Tokyo and other places I was visiting. I stayed for 2.5 weeks and they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy. The lounge area is beautifully decorated and a lovely place to relax, and the entire guesthouse has little decorations everywhere. One of my favourite things was the wall of guidebooks which the host has created for guests to write about their home prefectures/cities/countries - a lovely touch and very handy for onward travel! The location in Oshiage was really nice for a longer trip as it was a relaxing place to come home to rather than the chaos of places like Shibuya and Shinjuku. And of course right next to the Skytree meaning you get to admire the illuminations every night. There is easy access to the Hanzomon and Asakusa subway lines. Overall an amazing guesthouse and one I would love to return to in the future!

The steps to the top dorm rooms are really steep and difficult with luggage (no lift). Only one shower which was inconvenient.

Super clean. Staff were so nice. Beds were private and comfortable. Small kitchen area with microwave and kettle.

Komatsuya was the best stay I had in Tokyo. The place is in a very good position, a few minutes walk from Skytree and the subway (where there's also a direct link to the airports), in a quiet neighbourhood. There are multiple restaurants, conbini and supermarkets around. Both the owner and the lady are very welcoming, and created a place in which you immediately feel at home. Both the single room and the rest of the inn were perfectly clean and comfortable. A special mention has to go to the interior furnishing: it's wonderful! Thanks to the many vinyls (that one can listen to) and the decor, it gives a cozy/vintage vibe that is really enjoyable.

I just did not like the Tokyo sky tree metro because it was quite confusing to navigate, so having lots of luggage made the finding of the location a little challenging and confusing

Staff and owner-San were so sweet and graciously let me check in early as I did not realize there were hours posted for luggage drop off. The house is very cozy and well cared for. Guests were all kind and polite. Bed was very comfortable and shower was very clean and had good pressure

The host is very kind and the cozy atmosphere it’s like nowhere else I highly recommend it, you could spend time there all day. Everything is very clean too.. there is a public bath nearby that is exceptional.

Didn't expect to pay cash.

There seems to be a ferret or mice living in the walls. They were very active during night time.

The biggest issue was the noise. There is virtually no noise guard between your room, other rooms, and the lounge area. Some guests were inconsiderately playing music and talking late at night (12-1 a.m.). If getting a good night's sleep is a priority, I can't recommend this place. Additionally, the pillow was very flat, making the bed quite uncomfortable.

The location is good, and the hostel is very clean. This can also be a good opportunity to meet and talk to new people. The host is nice, but he speaks no English, so please be prepared to speak some Japanese.
