Good beds and good showers. Everything was clean and maintained. There is one thing that made our stay uncomfortable and that is the humidity in the rooms. There is a certain dampness that keeps everything feel wetish. There is e dehumifier but doesn't take away this feeling.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! Located in a quiet neighborhood, it gave me the feeling of being a local as I walked around. There are plenty of great places to eat nearby, and the local supermarket offers a variety of ready-to-eat foods at half price late at night. I felt completely safe walking around by myself, even at night.The hostel itself was very nice. Although our room only had a small window, it was more than enough for our needs. There was ample space to open two large suitcases, and everything was spotless. The shared washroom was always clean, and I never had to wait for a shower despite the hotel being mostly booked.The front desk staff was friendly and spoke perfect English, which made check-in and any inquiries super easy.Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay—I’d definitely recommend it!

Let’s talk about the advantages firstIf you are drivingOnly 2 to 3 minutes drive from major Yoshiwara attractionsThe price is quite cheap, but the electrician is a foreign workerThe room is very simpleBathroom is sharedThere is only one shared toiletAnd there are no toiletries, you have to prepare them yourselfIn other words, even if you wash your hair, you have to prepare your own hair dryer.It’s almost the level of a capsule hotelI checked in last month and regretted it so muchThere is no village in the front, no store in the backYou have to walk several hundred meters to find a 7-ELEVENEven the local taxi driverI don’t even know where his point is.A very hard to find locationI walked to the convenience store and backI can't find this roomThere are no electrical appliances in the room, but there are more than a dozen plugs

The room environment was very humid, and the pillows and quilts both had a musty smell. The smell was very unpleasant. My friend and I agreed that the pillows and quilts had not been replaced. I was a little disappointed when I saw the high reviews online. It really didn't feel good. .In addition, toothbrushes, toothpaste and bath towels need to be purchased at extra cost.

The private rooms at this hostel were spacious! I stayed in the two bed room with a friend and we had lots of room. However, room is only rated 3 star due to odours found in the bedding. My bed was okay, but my friend’s had a worse odour. Additionally, the room seemed to be very humid in a strange way. We would leave for a day and the beds and our clothing would feel very slightly damp. This may just be a symptom of the very hot summer conditions.The staff here are friendly, and the common area was nice.The common area is open from 8am-11pm. The front desk is staffed for the same hours.There is floor specific WiFi so you have good connection anywhere in the building.Amenities are available as shown in the photo, and first towel is free.It is about 5 minutes walk to Ryusen bus station, and 10 minutes walk to Minowa subway station. You can easily get to popular areas like Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno, Tsukiji, with one train ride.

Good lodging in the Minowa area. The location is close to Minowa station, around 500 meters. To Asakusa Sensoji Temple walk about 20 minutes. On the left there is a supermarket. Homey hostel. On the 1st floor you can cook, eat, play and read comics. Complete cooking equipment. Bring your own towels and toothbrush or there will be an additional fee. The bathrooms are on each floor, shared but the men's and women's bathrooms are separateRecommend staying here. Affordable price, I stayed in a room that could accommodate three people.
