Very convenient location! I tried both private and dorm, and both were nice for my stay in Japan. I would book with them when I go back to Tokyo.

Overally a great hotel in a superb location. Only an 8 minute walk from Ikebukuro station. The dining area was great. The restaurant was always buzzing and the food and drink options were good. The weekly share a meal with someone from another country/culture is a great idea.

I loved how clean the room was and the daily check in with the maid, in case we needed anything she would come between 10am-2pm and please do expect the room to be clean when you return from your adventures in Japan! Also the cafe on the 1st floor of the annex building has very good food which I liked when I get back at the hotel before 9pm then I have an hour to go to the cafe before setting in my room for the night 😊

Great location

The hostel boasts an excellent location, conveniently close to public transportation, restaurants, and shops. I reserved a private room with four bunk beds at a very affordable price. The breakfast is simple, consisting of toast, plain soup, and coffee or tea. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable.

Hostel was short distance to walk to train station. To walk to so many choices a food. Lots of things to look at while walking around. Perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Even on last day after checking out. The young guy helped me put my sim card. Forever grateful 🙏 Thank You. Only Down fall is too close to common area could hear people talking on there phone most nights very late. Also the sinks are right there also. Away from bathrooms and next to common areas. So listening to a hair dryer Constantly was annoying.

I was given a room on the 7th floor on the main building. On the first night, there was only one other lady in the 6-pax dorm with me, and I think the 2 other rooms next door were empty. On the second night, there was also just another lady with the same room as me. But I think maybe one other occupant in another room. Overall it was a comfortable and safe stay. But if it were to be full, maybe the showers wouldn't be enough. There was enough space in the shower room for personal belongings. Breakfast was very basic.. Really, just bread with jam or butter; soup, tea n coffee. On the first day there were eggs but not the second day.

The staff were polite, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The daily room clean was inconsistent and didn't always include a linen change, but fresh towels were always provided. We never heard noise from other rooms, only when people would talk in the hallway. We had to adjust the temperature in our mini fridge because our food froze inside. My husband and I stayed here (in the annex building) for two weeks in January and by the end of our trip the quality of the mattress was causing restless nights and sore backs. The temperature in the room was difficult to get right, and we usually slept with the window open a few inches. So I would stay here again, but only for shorter periods. The location is great! Super easy walk to Ikebukuro JR station, restaurants, karaoke rooms, arcades, shops, and a sento where we went almost every night. We were often awoken by early morning truck deliveries and garbage pickup along the street, but I don't know how avoidable that is. The cafe downstairs was nice to have on nights when we wanted an easy dinner, but a protein option in the $5 breakfast would be appreciated (it only includes toast, tea, coffee, and water). The cafe was also nice when we just needed to sit down at a table for 5 minutes, since our room didn't have space for that. The cafe gets quite busy and loud on weekend nights, but the seating areas are split by the entryway with a quieter space on the far side. Overall it's a good budget option.

Room was clean but for the price, very small and we got half price same size near the airport. The breakfast said, exceptional breakfast but even boiled egg was to be paid separately (not expensive but atleast add that).

Toast and soup is not breakfast. Woke every morning by cleaning staff seemingly pounding on the rooms. I liked the manager Akio, he was very helpful.
