Very close to ikebukuro station, easy access to everything we wanted to do, facility was nice, machine to fill water bottles in kitchen (!!!) and AC worked almost too well. Other guests may be loud. But we are also loud... There was construction happening on a nearby building which woke us up one morning - didn't change our schedule and it'll probably be finished after 2025, but worth keeping in mind if sleeping in.

We stayed in the annex as a family of 4. It was perfect for us. Simple and a great price. Great location. Exit C1 was the closest exit (stairs) and C6 (escalator) was the next closest. The grocery store “Life” had the best bentos and baked goods in the area. Also, cheaper fruit than in the department stores. It was 5 min away.

Lovely hostel, we booked the family room, decent size for family of 4 with big luggages. What I really like wash sink, shower & bathroom is separated which makes getting ready in the morning fuss free! Situated in good location, less than 3 mins walk to underground subway station! Lots of good restaurants around the area & shopping! A very good stay!

This place feels like home. We need to take off our shoes at the entrance. Sanitized slippers are provided. Guest can share the pantry, fridge and dining table. Drinking water dispenser also available which is a big plus for me. I do find the bathroom to be too small. I'm not fond of the tatami floor but that's just me. At my age its difficult to constantly squat down and get up. I would highly recommend this place to anyone below 50 :-)

A good address if you're looking to stay in Tokyo on a budget. The whole establishment has a vintage Shōwa era vibe to it, and that is part of it's charm. Very clean, good wifi.

It is clean even it has shared bathrooms and toilets only. It is small, but still nice with reasonable price. I like that I can open the windows on two sides of the wall to have breeze from the outside. It is a bit smelly at first when you just enter the room. Since it is small room, the previous guest's smell still in there. However, you can open the windows and let the air from the outside in to get rid of it. Service is good too. However, if you are the one that is sensitive with sound around when you sleep, I don't recommend. The room is right on street, where you can hear everything from the neighborhood. I heard violin from the next door on that night. It wasn't noisy though. Overall, it is good for the price, service and cleanliness.
