Very good

Do not stay here. This place is a roach nest, i arrived and upon entering my room, i was greeted with bunkmates who wanted to leave their smelly, sweaty clothing everywhere which over powered the room with an awful smell. The beds were not clean, there is no AC (I visited in July), and there were signs in the bathroom explain the proper way and place to vomit. Within 2 hours of arriving, i checked out and booked a business hotel down the road and im so glad i did. That place is called Agora Place Asakusa and its so much better than this hostel. Ive stayed in better hostels in Manhattan. I will say that the staff was very nice here.
It was a good one night stay. Front desk was very helpful and friendly. The room has some kind of white noise sounds like furnace or laundry room. It is very close to senso ji. Very cost effective.
Excellent location near Sensoji and multiple train lines. A very cozy and useful communal space. I could charge my electronics and work in peace but also be surrounded by other travelers.
Best part of breakfast was the tasty soups every morning!
Great hostel in Asakusa! We enjoyed the community space and lobby. There was coin laundry available and kitchen facilities. Bathrooms were kept very clean. Would stay here again.
Leaking roof which was just duct taped after we reported it, but still leaking, sub par beds ( super hard and very uncomfortable towels too thin like a hand towel very noisy guests who were loud till wee hours of the morning overall not recommended, we just couldn’t find a hotel since all were booked due to holiday season, only pro is proximity to sensoji temple and restaurants
This is a wonderful hostel. Staff are really friendly and the location is excellent, right beside a beautiful temple and a neighbourhood that feels quiet yet has lots of restaurant options and interesting people walking around. The place was really clean and we appreciated the free breakfast. Would DEFINITELY stay here again if I come to Tokyo!
The location is great, near metro station and tourist attractions. The staff, for the .ost part, were friendly. Breakfast could be better, but toast and coffee are better than nothing. You have to go through outside to reach restroo., whi h can be a cold hassle un the winter. Restrooms could be cleaner. But overall, good value and hreat location.
Excellent service, Excellent location. My family of 6 were in a single 6 bunk room that was neat and tidy. The lounge and kitchen were great to use. Staff worked really hard to help answer any questions and include us in events.
We will stay here again for sure
The personel are really helpfull. FREE Breakfast in the morning. Shampoo in shower with body soap. Locker in the room. Storage room. Just a minute from corner store. Shopping and street food just around. Laundry with soap. Tv with games. Fun fun fun. I will come back.
Excellent hostel to meet with other people! And also staff are pretty good! Beds, toilet, cooking facilities was awesome!! Maybe just change the rules of closing the outside areas to 12 !
Perfect location, friendly staff, clean and secure

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Asakusa is a great neighbourhood to stay. Lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping in the area. Hostel is very close to Tsukuba Express and Tokyo Subway stations. Senso-ji temple is a five minute walk away. Hostel itself is very straight forward. Bunk beds in dorms. Air conditioned. Comfortable. Good value for the price. Good spot to meet and interact with other travelers.
