    Clean. Good use of space in the room. Quiet. Loved having access to shared kitchen and dining area. Often we were the only ones in there. Staff were very helpful. Great access to train lines. Ueno Park is also very close-by. Great for family stay.

    Keep in mind this is a youth hostel so you need to make your own beds etc. Rooms are quite small if you have large luggage (we didn’t).

    Great location for the price. We were looking for somewhere near ueno station on a budget and this fit perfectly for our family of five, close enough to ueno to walk (about a kilometre) but far enough away to be a bit quieter. Other smaller stations are close by and we used these mostly. Rooms were clean and attached bathroom was great (if small!). Staff were lovely. Kitchen amenities provided on a different floor so we didn’t use those, but hot water and a fridge provided on our floor as well which was super handy. Really enjoyed our four nights here.

    The room tend to be on the smaller size (though this is expected) and barely any tables to put our stuff on, so it can get messy very quickly.

    Great location - close to a couple subway stations (5-8 mins walking distance), easy to find, nearby a couple of konbinis and several shops. Super clean. Great service. There's a shared kitchen in the 1st floor with enough amenities (though it can get crowded during meal times)

    This is our second time staying here. We are a family of four and were delighted on check in to find that we are in a bigger room with 4 bunks and one sofa bed. There was also a desk and you can request a lamp from the reception. The bathroom was a good size, and the bidet/toilet was the best. We had 4 cabin roller bags and there was plenty of space for them. You are also able to grab towels from the reception for free, and umbrellas for free if it is raining. The location was great as it was walking distance to a couple train/metro stations, with Ueno Keisi about 8-10 minute walk. Also, about a 10 minute walk to Akihabara (electronic town). The Ueno zoo was around 12 minute walk. There are many restaurants, and mini marts within walking distance. The nearest being family mart about 2 minutes away. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. A bonus is they kept our bags for several hours before we checked in. They also provide free detergent to wash your clothes in the machines which are on the same level as the reception. This is our go to place whenever we are in Tokyo and we will definitely be back again! Thank you for your hospitality!

    Coveritble sofa/bed has a noticeable crease down the middle when unfolded, making for an uneven sleeping surface. Bunk beds a bit hard.

    Friendly staff, convenient location, common kitchen and sitting area, coin laundry and dryer.

    Location was very convenient, just walk a few blocks to Ueno Park, 10 min to the Keisei Skyliner direct train to airport, 10 min to Ameyoko market for delicious street food and inexpensive souvenirs, easy subway connections to everywhere else in Tokyo. During rush hour we could get to Tokyo Station in 15 minutes. We got a room for 4 people, and it was nice to have privacy curtains. They held our luggage after we checked out so we could go sightseeing our last day. The communal kitchen included a microwave, toaster oven, and hot water dispenser. And each floor had a hot water heater and microwave too.

    Nothing whatsoever.

    The location is perfect for a number of reasons: especially if you are arriving from Narita airport the hostel is 10 max 15 minutes walk from the station where the Keisei skyline arrives. There are an additional 2 metro stations, one is within 10 minutes the other just around the corner. The street where the hostel is located is really tranquil but 5 to 10 minutes away there is an amazing variety of places to eat, drink and shop. The hostel feels more like a hotel. It is very modern, comfortable, clean and the staff are all so very friendly and welcoming and speak good English.

    Bedding conformt could have been sligthly better, there was no duvet for cover.

    Good location in an area close to many restaurants, a train station, a beautiful park and one of Japans best museums. Quiet rooms with windows you can open. This hostel is perfect for groups of friends or families with teenage children wanting to keep costs low to spend on shopping or attractions. Remember to pack light, big bags are not good.
