“The location was ideal, allowing easy walks to Asakusa, Ueno Park, and nearby stations. The clean showers and spacious common area added to the relaxing experience, though the thin walls meant occasional noise. Luggage storage was a plus, and overall, it provided good value for money amidst the city's exploration.”

6.5Verified guest

“While the bunk beds are basic and a bit creaky, the area is quiet, and there are handy convenience stores nearby. The staff is friendly, but be ready for disrupted sleep if you're sensitive to noise. It's a decent budget option if you're okay with the essentials.”

“The noise in this place was unbearable! The walls are paper-thin, so I woke up every hour from alarms and loud chatting. I felt completely drained because I couldn't get any quality sleep at all—definitely not worth the cheap price!”
