Warm and personable staff that make you feel like family! Isa-san always went the extra mile - my plane was delayed and I was scheduled to arrive after their check in hours, he kindly waited for me past 11pm. Beyond that the rooms were very clean and cosy, the best! Linens smelled nice and clean, thoughtfully placed furniture such as additional fans, hangers, reading lights etc. There was always more than sufficient amenities, lots of tea and coffee and even snacks! I had a really happy and peaceful time here. I loved the location too! 3 mins walk to Kuramae station making it really accessible, and yet far enough from the Main Street / city buzz so it’s quiet at night. in my months of solo travel, this has been the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you for your generosity Isa-san and family. Don’t hesitate to book!

Everything good! The staff is very nice and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the resting/dinong area is well done. You can see there is attention to details. It's not really in the center of the city but there is the metro close by so everything is easily reachable. Also from a different metro station but still close by (15min walking) you can get to the airport directly.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
