The hostel is located in the heart of the Kuramae area. Walking distance to the metro, convenience stores and restaurants.
The hostel staff are friendly and helpful. The hostel does lack with social elements with not having a common area. The only area where you can sit is in the cafe down stairs. They have a small kitchen with a dinning table. You never really feel comfortable with paying customers eating and drinking in the cafe. The rooms have 14 capsule beds. The top bunks are extremely hard to get into especially if you are tall like myself. I rolled my ankle and cut myself to get down the ladder. The rooms also lack in ventilation. So they can be quite hot and stuffy when sleeping. I would recommend them deleting the capsule bed system and using normal bunk beds. I would also recommend the hostel to use the roof top as a communal area. All they need to do is install a timber deck floor over the existing concrete floor and add a small gazebo for when it rains. They could also run group activities such as walking tours and food tours. For a reasonable price. All a free breakfast. Small and simple. Then the ratings will rise.

One of the better hostels in Tokyo, for the price I payed via Expedia this was a steal.
The surrounding area is beautiful with a lot to explore, a 7/11 and Family Mart are located near the hostel and very walkable.
The only small issue I had during my stay was the bed and the size of the room, as a 186 cm person could barely fit in the bed and the room was so small that I could even open my luggage on the ground.
Other than the room my stay was great and I would greatly recommend to stay here while traveling on a budget.

Could be better.
Posted 8 Aug 2024 on HotelsLast day of a 2 week stay in Tokyo choose this because it said spa and was low priced. However spa was in the building but cost 7000 yen. As a guest and not one you could walk in reservation required. See atached photo. Dorm room mattress was thin and not comfortable and dorm was very hot. But the staff was super friendly and helpfull.
