The most sympathetic place and staff unfortunately they are closing (first the restaurant, then the hotel) and as such demotivation, esp. by cleaning staff can be sensed, making the use of shower facilities uncomfortable. I wish them to get new energy through a renovation and/or new ownership, as the place is well-located just by a metro station and many small restaurants and other shops with good prices compared to central Tokyo or even, more touristic places in that area

The beds are not sturdy at all, I was anxious sleeping on the top bunk. A lot of the outlets in the room did not work and keep in mind there is no AC inside of the room so I would not suggest booking this when it gets hot. If you are on a budget this is not bad for the price. It does smell like smoke in there because they allow it by the cafe so if you have small children I do not recommend.

2nd time staying in a hostel so comparing it to the past and mostly because of cleanliness. It’s a basic hostel. It wasn’t dirty, but definitely the room needed a sweeping and checking linens for left over hairs from previous guests. They seemed clean, just needs maybe a lint roll. It worked for one night.

I stayed 10 nights here, honestly the room is pretty bare bones but we were just using it as a place to sleep and keep our stuff. Room was clean and had all our necessities private bath (make sure you book a room with one if needed), microwave and stove top and storage space. A short walk away from Nakai Station is a huge plus the area is quite and the SS line is much less busy than some others. 2 station ride gets you to Takadanobaba Station were you can pretty much get anywhere from. Staff were super helpful and kind and ready to get anything to help your stay. If your looking for a place to rest your head in Tokyo I can recommend here.

It’s what you expect from capsule hotel, a bed showers, luggage storage the usual business. What does knock it down from being an 8/10 to a 7/10 is requesting a non smoking bed and then being directly placed adjacent to the smoking balcony which had the smoke smell leaking into the hallway.

The convenience right next to Nakai station and quiet area made this an excellent little escape from the rest of Tokyo. I would definitely recommend it. Just remember that it is a hostel and not a hotel. Even if you book a private room like we did, you will not receive the same ammenities and the place likely hasn't been updated in decades. So the faucet in the bathroom sink is going to slosh water on the floor. The aesthetic isn't going to be the most appealing. You basically receive a small 1 bedroom in Tokyo for an extremely affordable price though. The group hostel rooms were even cheaper. It was the perfect spot for us.

It's listed as 20 minutes from Haneda airport by car. It's more like 1h. Don't take a taxi. Pictures of the hotel is not representative of the reality - much older structure, dirtier and smelly. Walls are so thin, door has gap. We can hear everything including the trains, trucks and anyone passing around. It's more on a capsule hotel facility, but very old and dirty. I don't recommand even for 1 night.

Nothing shinjuku about this property. Probably the worst hotel ive stayed at. It felt like a prefab structure.

Anyone off the street could just walk up to your hotel room door. Theres no corridors and rooms like a normal hotel. The rooms are outside inside a glorifed garage.

The room was horrible and dirty. It was not maintained well. It had hairs in the shower (which also had no shower curtain and was coming from a pipe from the sink tap).

Leftover shower gel still in the bathroom. I wasnt even sure if the towels were clean.

My heart sank when i first seen the room. Looks nothing like the pictures. On top of that, the walls were thin and i could hear a group of people laughing for hours.

I was booked in for the final 2 days of my 3 week trip in japan. But i left after 1 day. I couldnt subject myself to the torture of this room and risk ending my amazing trip on such a sour note.

The only positives were that the surrounding area was quite nice and quaint and i was allowed to check in earlier than 15:00.

Avoid this place.

UNSAFE, overpriced & will not come again

THERE IS NO ELEVATOR‼️ They were like I had to wait the next day for a man to take my luggage to the second floor. I asked for a room on the first floor because I don’t want to leave my luggage in an open space. The hostel is 24/7 open so anyone can come and go. Not doors for the hostel. Only room doors. Very very very unsafe. Very dirty bathroom. If you’re coming from the subway it is a bit hard to find because you have to take the exit in the subway so if you take the wrong exit, you have to go back in the subway take a different exit to reach the hostel. For the same price, if not a bit cheaper, I could get a better hotel near Narita airport with a private washroom and shower! THIS PLACW IS OVERPRICED FOR WHAT IT PROVIDES‼️ I could hear someone snoring. Will not come again. The staff were nice though. Kind of tried to accommodate me. I asked if it was women only, I got a nod… a couple minutes later I saw a man… they either lied or it was because of the language barrier.

まず部屋の状態がとても酷かったです。毎日ハエが部屋に10匹ほど廊下から換気扇を通って入ってきていました。

その上、掃除には約束した日には来ず、別日にノックもなしに入ってこられ、寝ているところを起こされました。

また、チェックアウト前日の夜9時頃になぜか男性スタッフがノックをしてきて、出たくなかったのでドア越しに話を進めると、チェックアウトの予告を言いに来たとのことでした。

そして最終日、予約サイトまた部屋にもチェックアウトは11時と記載してあるにも関わらず、10時頃掃除の方の都合で早く出ていってほしいと掃除のスタッフに言われました。準備を続けていると女性スタッフがやってきて、時間が突然変わったから退室してほしいと言われました。

The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable is that I stayed on the second floor and carrying luggage upstairs was hard. I believe they have private rooms on the first floor too, so you may want to request one in advance if you arrive with heavy luggage.

The water pressure and heat made these the best showers I've ever seen in a hostel. The staff is helpful and friendly. The area is quiet and quaint with a couple good, small restaurants but it's only a couple stops from Shinjuku if you want to be somewhere more lively.
My one serious complaint is that the place is smoker friendly. It's not an activity allowed in the rooms, but the little smoker closet they have set up does not keep the smell from getting into everything. When someone was in there, I was choking from the other end of the hall.

Good location, in a quiet neighbourhood near Shinjuku and has convenience stores nearby. I got a private room and when i got there i realized it was actually a big room with a divider in the middle. Some people were staying in the room behind the divider and i could always hear them talking. They sprayed some perfume and i had to smell it too. I wish I just got a capsule instead. The room also had bugs in it, and the table had weird stains. However, I booked the room very last minute at the lowest price in Tokyo, so I wasn't expecting much. It's fine for a short stay if you need to save money.

You get what you pay for the price.. Unlike the usual hostels in Japan, this place is like a slum and is very sketchy. The rooms are divided literally by paper, no walls in between. You also have to sleep with the light from the walkaway and the noise from any room on the floor. The room itself is very very small and dirty.

There is only one shower room for female guests in the entire hostel. The bathroom sink is always dirty and the trash is always full. Only one laundry machine and unbelievably expensive. The laundry machine also looks very dirty.

The only good sides.. Front desk staff is friendly, and the place is close to train station that is two stops away from Shinjuku.

No sleep quality at all. This was the worst hostel experience ever in my life and luckily we only booked one night.

The white bed sheets were yellow on some places. There was dust everywhere and it was clear they do not thoroughly clean the rooms as every nook and cranny had dust and trash built up. I stayed in a single room but there was a nailed down door that lead straight to another room so I could hear people talk or even take a shower all throughout the night up close, and there were spaces between said door and the wall so people could peek into your room from the other side. There are almost no amenities. I would never want to step foot in this place again.

Also, the wardrobe had a bag of towels from the prior guest? Walls were pretty thin and you could hear people in the halls quite easily, but other guests generally respected quiet hours.
