This place was perfect for my family of 4. The rooms were adequate size. The showers and toilets were always clean, good water pressure for the shower. The front desk was 24hours and very willing to help when we needed them. Their english was excellent and they were easy to understand. The cafe was open early, had excellent coffee and breakfast items available for us. We ate supper there twice as well - their food was delicious and extremely reasonably priced. The outdoor seating was wonderful as well. The location is perfect - really close to A LOT of good food and close the Tokyo Metro. Walkable area. Just very very pleased with this hostel experience. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at this hotel. The check-in was quick and easy. We rented a couple towels for just 100 yen each. We were worried when we first arrived because the room was super hot but when we cranked up the AC it cooled right down. The hallways are not air conditioned but that wasn't a big deal. We loved spending each morning eating some of the included toast and jam in the cafe and planning our day. The hotel was very close to the Jimbocho station which has multiple subway lines and is in the center of Tokyo so very convenient to get anywhere.

We stayed here at the very beginning and very end of our stay in Japan. We ended up having to check in a day late due to a plane delay, but we were able to message the front desk and they agreed to hold our room (there is usually a 2-day minimum stay).

The cafe on site is comfortable and the offered drinks are great for when you need a pick-me-up. We did not order from the cafe for food. Breakfast is toast w/ toppings and soup. It's not a lot, but it's nice to have.

The rooms are small, but the beds are comfy and I didn't notice any loud neighbors. We were right across from the showers both stays which was great. The on-site laundry is in the basement and I used that early one morning (300Y for washer and 100Y/30min on dryer).

Staff spoke good English and was happy to help with whatever small questions we had.

Neighborhood was quiet and very close to a station and plenty of food options. We got curry late one night and conveyor belt sushi another.

Nice Hostel if you are traveling on Budget.

Rooms are very small, we booked a room for 4 people and it was very small, we had no space to put our luggage or to barely stand in the same, we have stayed on hostel private rooms before and they are larger and with private bathroom, none of these rooms have private bathroom.
The beds are comfortable enough however they are old and squeak with every move. We couldn't make the air conditioner work properly (seemed on but wasn't really working).
There are toilets for women and for men on the same floor you are staying, they are always clean.
There are only 2 showers per floor which leads to them being always full on the morning and on the evenings.
Staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Overall is a nice hostel if you are traveling with friends on a budget and don't really care much about privacy and stuff. Very standard I guess, to be fair we haven't really stayed at many hostels. :)

Although I myself found it difficult to find at first, it was in a great area. I got a single room since I snore. The room was small but it was cozy and right across the hall from the toilet and around the corner from the sink and showers.

Nice Hotel Near the Center of Tokyo

I stayed here for 11 nights. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clean and it was located in the quiet neighborhood of Jimbocho, just north of Tokyo's financial district. The Metro is very close where you can access the S, Z, and I lines from Jimbocho station. The weather was hot in Tokyo, but the AC unit in my room worked very well. The room cools down within minutes! The room was small, but that's to be expected for a budget hotel in Tokyo. The shower is directly across from the rooms. Never had to wait once. I highly recommend this hotel for budget travelers.

Considering we'r in the middle of Tokyo, it's hard to find competing prices competing with the level this hotel offers. Still, it's a very basic setup and works fine.

I chose this hotel for the location (Kanda is famous for its number of used bookstores), so in that sense it was great - right in the middle of it and minutes from Tokyo Metro Jimbocho station. The rooms and setup reminded me of a student dorm. If you are used to that, it should be nothing new. The facilities are a little old but clean enough. The room light was a bit dark.

Nice no-frill accommodation near city center

The first thing I notice that the location was quite good and very near a major subway station that interchange to many lines. The building was easy to find, although a more visible signage from nearby intersection will do even better. Reception open 24 hours, nice, and responsive, almost everyone that I met speak understandable english. Don't expect too much from the room and be forewarned that you need to bring all of your basic neccessities yourself, i.e. towel, toothbrush, etc. The area around is quite nice and comfortable.
