Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed on the women only floor, single room
Concierge is very welcoming, staff for the most part can understand English. Otherwise, basic Japanese and gestures would be enough as well
Seems to be family owned and they live in the hostel as well?
Room although non-smoking had a very strong smoky smell throughout my entire 6 nights, even though I washed my clothes in the coin laundry the smell never left.
Overall spacious and enough for 1 pax, they have detergent available for 30yen if you don't have yours
The coin laundry room is locked from 11pm onwards but they close the coin hole of the machines around 10:30pm onwards, would be best to wash your clothes before 10pm latest
About 10 minutes walk from Minami-senju station, quite accessible to anywhere (Tobu Zoo, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara, Ueno). For further places it takes longer, eg. about at least 3 hours to Mt Fuji
Lawson and 7-11 nearby within the vicinity
Very good stay for a solo traveller on a budget, thanks to the team for a great 6 nights 🙏
