Cleanliness and space are conspicuous by their absence.Dirty and old bathrooms, small and dusty rooms. Bed curtains torn and full of mold.Dining room with very limited and tight space for the number of guests who come.Very unpleasant staff

Great location, super close to Senso-ji, conbini, train stations, and the main streets of Asakusa.Beds are nice, with curtains and individual lamp and outlet. There is an AC unit in each room. As much as you can eat toast in the mornings.But the best thing about this hotsel is the lovely staff! Super accommodating and hospitable. Thank you Rieさん, Yukiさん, and Taroさん for a lovely stay 🥰

Sakura Hostel offers good value for the price. The shared dorms were clean, though the A/C struggled to cool the room during the night. Breakfast consisted of toast with jam, soup, coffee, and tea—a simple but welcome start to the day. The communal spaces were great for working or relaxing, and the shared kitchen was well-stocked with utensils. However, the Wi-Fi was spotty at times. Location-wise, it's excellent, just a 5-minute walk from the train station. While most of the staff seemed a bit stressed and short, the person who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a decent experience, especially for budget travelers.

Close to the center of action.Mini markets are close and there are lots of them.To Kurleb train station 15 minutes walk.The hostel provides free breakfast of bread, coffee, milk and tea, even though when booking online, there was no breakfast. Good job....All toilet seats have washers, so those who don't usually use tissue are very comfortable ;)The receptionist info is very clear and very useful.Very comfortable simple hostel.

Except for the cheap dorm beds.It was a very comfortable hotel with good value for money.I was able to stay for 7,000 yen for 3 nights on weekdays, but it seems to vary considerably depending on demand, so I feel like my rating will change depending on that.I think it's because the apartment was originally made of concrete, but the building itself is solid and I couldn't hear any noise from other rooms or floors at all.Breakfast is free, and the large lobby on the first floor is always crowded with tourists from morning until late at night.It feels small when you sit on a chair, but one of the comfortable things about it is that there are so many chairs and tables that it's rare for an individual customer to sit next to someone else. .thank you

There may be bugs in the carpet or bed edges. The foot was bitten. In addition, the iron beds in the dormitory rooms are super rocking! It feels like an earthquake, a real shaking... Pros are location, coffee and tea

The place has an excellent location, very close to Senso-ji Temple, one of the most famous in Japan. The room I stayed in had a bit of a musty smell, but the hostel is great value for money!
