The hostel is located in a really good position for moving around Tokyo during day with public transportation and walking around Shinjuku for having fun during night time. Washrooms are really clean, capsule is comfy and all the staff is english speaker and helpful. You can meet here people from all over around the world that make the experience even greater.
Totally recomend it

Great hostel
Super clean hostel with a nice vibe. The location is great - within walking distance of the station and it's only a 30 minute walk or so from Harajuku etc. The staff were friendly, the beds comfortable. Would definitely recommend as a good place to stay in Tokyo!

God even with kids
We stayed for 2 nights in the private room- 2 kids (14 and 17) and w adults. Common area with kitchen was great, we could warm up food.
Coffee pot would be a good addition, there is 7 eleven across the street with coffee so was mot so bad.

Easy check in and check out. Good breakfast options. The rooms were quite crowded with nowhere specific to store luggage. If you’re looking for a place to interact with other travellers, this is certainly an excellent hostel for that.

Absolutely great hostel.
Absolutely great hostel.
Very well-maintained and clean place.
Rooms, Toilets and Showers are well cleaned.
Hostel is very easy to find from the nearby train station and located in the Shinjuku area so you can enjoy your nightlight in Shinjuku and still walk back to the hostel without needing of train.
Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
Totally worth it.
Thanks,

This is the first time I stayed in dorm-style place. I am definitely not going to opt for this experience again. I had heard good things about the social aspects of staying at a place like this, but I am not sure if I would forego the benefits of privacy and a good night of sleep over that in the future.
The staff was helpful and friendly. But the bathrooms were not that clean, plus you have to deal with snoring roommates at night!

The property essentially did not
provide any services and instructions. The staff only required me to sign the terms of conditions when I signed in. The conditions of the dormitories were terrible and had to sleep in a room with sick person who cough all night especially during Covid.
