Its a very typical bunk bed type of hostel. But the staff and its location make it very worth the price. I very much enjoyed the staff! Very awesome and lots of things to do as its in Shibuya.

Shibuya is like 15 minute walk. Super easy and convenient but be mindful Tōkyō has a lot of steep sidewalks/downhills. The rooms are a bit small but the location and environment that this place has outweighs it. It definitely has a party vibe and people awake at all hours of the night. It was super fun meeting and getting to know people from all around the world. I would recommend and stay here again with friends.

Hubo un incidente
Pague toda mi estadia pero la interrumpi a la mitad. Me mandan un correo generico. Con respecto a no show. Pero no dice que conteste. Solo me avisan. Pero lo tome muy generico. Puesto que lo habia pagado. Pense que se los mandabsn a todos. Y no tenia opcion de replay. Llegue a las 12 am . Y una chica muy emojada y muy grosera.nos dijo que por que no contestamos el correo. Y yo que tengo que contestar?... Despues de la groseria, la mala experiencia y la regañada. Hicimos check in. Nuevamente con un cargo extra. De 2000 yenes. Fue el unico lugar que no se sintio el espiritu calido de japon. Creo que se puede conseguir mejores lugares mas centricos. Y mejor en todo. muy pequena habitacion.mucha humedad. Todo complicado. No puedes comprar un refresco en su bar. No dan cambio de monedas. No cuidan tu equipaje. Muchas situaciones que merman tu experiencia de viaje.

너무 친절하고 분위기 좋은 호스텔
직원들이 너무 친절하고 분위기 좋습니다.
다음 여행시에도 이용하고 싶어요.
위치는 시부야역에서 15분 정도 걸으면 되는 정도입니다.
Staff are useless if you raise any concern. If you're interested in feeling safe during your stay, they will provide no help. I went to the desk regarding a security concern I had and they just shrugged their shoulders. If you're staying here, keep in mind the desk is just there to provide you towels. They do not care about you.

Pretty good value for Tokyo
Good location, 10-15 min walk to Shibuya. Clean and organised. Only 2 showers for the a whole floor isn’t many. Beware if you want to try and check in early, they charge 1000yen. I think this is taking advantage of tired tourists especially when they already have such a late check in time of 4pm. Why not check if the bed is ready and if so, allow someone to check in early. If not, then that’s understandable. The hairdryers are really week and need cleaning or replacing. Staff seemed friendly enough.
I have no complaints about my stay here. The bed was super comfortable and it didn’t make any noise when moving around/going to the bathroom or alike.
Also, the bar is a perfect place to meet new people, as it is a cafe, lunch place, bar with happy hour etc.
The best thing was however the staff - so helpful and genuine. They helped you to their fullest ability even if you’ve got many requests.
A plus is also that it is walking distance to the main center of Shibuya, which is a vibrant part of town with a lot of possibilities for a night out/good food or shopping.
