I loved everything! The staff were so pleasant and nice even helped me bring my suitcase upstairs. The beds were so comfortable and a lot of room for a single hostel bed. I had the best view of the river and the bathroom was super clean. Also the subway stations are only a 5 minute walk.

Very cheap, this hotel seems to have been built recently. Everything is very new and in great condition. The bathrooms and the beds are very clean. There is storage space under your bed and a free locker for small valuables (can't fit a bag), and you have hangers and a small shelf inside the bed. The location is great too, just a 2 minute walk from the train station.

Everything was so organized and clean, staff were so friendly and helpful, bathrooms and showers were AMAZING (boiling water, clean, highly highly equipped with everything down to 5 hair curlers). The dorm area was quite, squeaky clean and very well kept. The dining area was highly equipped (hot water, drinking water, microwave, glasses) and I was happily given what ever I needed for my grocery meals. There’s free luggage storage until 6pm. Never stayed in a hostel as good as this. I’ll be coming back for sure. So grateful.

I loved everything when it comes to my stay at Tora Hotel Asakusa! The staff were the most friendly, and would go out of their way to help you as much as possible. The facilities were always clean, the beds were comfortable, the location was very convenient with train stations nearby, a short walk to Skytree, Sensoji Temple, and more! When I return to Japan, I will book this same hostel.

    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
