Tokyo Hostels

Incredible stay! I wish I stayed here again, really. My main concern when staying at capsule hotels and hostels is the noise, but because it’s a rule not to make noise or eat or take calls where the pods are here, it was very relaxing. I stayed as a traveller but many people stay for work purposes. The television was a nice luxury, but I really like that each of the pods had two outlets and the air conditioner was really powerful. I also really liked the secure storage next to the bed. I stayed in the Business Class pod, which was perfect for a three-night stay. I keep forgetting that I can just stand in there, but I could and it was really nice to have the extra headroom and not feel too closed in. I really want to try the First Class for a longer stay, so next time I am in Tokyo, hopefully I can stay there. The included breakfast was also very good with many options, and the lounge/common area was the best one among the places I’ve stayed on my trip, especially since I had to do some work. Really, First Cabin is made for people working for travel. It’s the perfect blend of capsule hotel and business hotel. Being able to use the sento on-site was perfect after a long day (although the website says no tattoos allowed, I asked the front desk person who checked me in if it was okay to use it since I have western-style tattoos, and they said it was okay). You get new towels (and slippers!) everyday. I like that they have both curling and flat irons for hair, as well as hair dryers of course. The self-serve amenities at the front desk covered everything, even a shower towel. The laundry machines were really well-maintained and clean. It was a great location, a few stops away from Shinjuku Station so not too busy and chaotic, but still close to everything. There’s a drug store right next door, and an Mos Burger and other places to eat just steps away. The area around Ichigaya Station was really nice, and I wish I spent more time exploring around there.

The accommodation is about a ten-minute walk from the station. It's clean and tidy, and having a washing machine is a huge plus for travelers. The bathroom even has a bathtub for a relaxing soak. The only downside was that on the day we stayed, the guests upstairs kept running around, making a lot of noise! It improved after the host intervened, which I really appreciate 🙏 Kinshicho Station area is very lively, and I'd love to visit again if I get the chance!

If you’re the kind of traveler who likes options, Hotel Plus Hostel Tokyo Asakusa 2 is a great pick. Whether you’re into minimalist capsule pods, classic dorm-style bunk beds, or want a private room with your own toilet, they have it all. I stayed in the capsule-style cabin, which felt spacious enough with its own curtain, light, and power outlet. But if you prefer more privacy, you can upgrade to a room with en-suite bathroom. This flexibility makes it perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups. 🚗 Getting There 3-minute walk from Asakusa Station Around 50–60 min from Narita or Haneda Airport by train or airport limousine bus Super strategic if you're planning to explore Tokyo from the east side. 🛒 What Makes It Convenient Capsule cabins, shared dorms, and private rooms (some with their own toilet and shower) Gender-separated public bath (onsen-style) – warm, clean, and relaxing after a long walk Shared shower & toilet facilities are clean and well-maintained You can send/receive Yamato (TA-Q-BIN) parcels from the front desk – super helpful for travelers with big luggage or belanjaan 🛏️ Facilities & Vibe Spacious capsule layout with good airflow, lockers for valuables Onsen bath open in the evening – best time to enjoy it is early morning (6–8 AM) or after 10 PM for quieter experience Lounge area with billiards, vending machines, shared kitchen, and laundry Cleanliness is top-notch; even shared areas feel fresh 🗺️ Nearby Attractions Senso‑ji Temple & Kaminarimon Gate – just a 5-min walk Tokyo Skytree – around 15 min by foot or 1 stop by train Sumida River – great for evening strolls Lots of convenience stores, street food, and shopping streets nearby (including Don Quijote & Asakusa Nishi-sando) ✨ Final Thoughts Whether you're a backpacker or a budget-conscious traveler wanting flexibility, this place covers your needs. The mix of capsule, shared, and private rooms gives you control over comfort and cost. It’s also ideal for those flying in or out of Tokyo — close to the airport lines and able to handle Yamato shipping. Pro Tips: Book early if you want the private room with toilet — they go fast Choose women-only or men-only dorms if you prefer a calmer vibe Take a soak in the onsen before bed — it’s the perfect way to wind down

IMANO Tokyo Hostel is a great choice for travellers looking for a convenient and affordable stay in Shinjuku. The location is particularly convenient, being only about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, making it easy to explore Tokyo and access other parts of the city. The hostel provides a simple complimentary breakfast consisting of bread and butter, which is a nice basic option to start the day. Overall, a good place to stay for its convenient location and value, especially for travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring Tokyo.

It was a nice hostel. I had a private room and there was breakfast in the morning. They are selling a Tokyo subway pass in the reception, which was great. You can also sit outside. It is great when it is warm inside or when it is raining. Unfortunately the next building was renovated, so noise in the morning.

Good price for a capsule within walking distance of a JR station that reaches ikebukuro and Shinjuku pretty fast. Even has an onsen and sauna! Has a chill area to read manga and buy beer also. Staff also friendly and speaks English which is good to not get lost Only downside is the baggage area is quite messy and feels a bit dirty

This was my second time staying here, and I had another great experience! The location is very convenient, the capsules are clean and comfortable, and the facilities are well maintained. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.👍🏼

Very cheap accommodation at a great location. I think it’s decent for short stays (1-2 nights) but not ideal for longer stays. The capsule is not spacious and can be quite stuffy. There’s only public bath available which is located at the same floor as the reception. There’s pretty much no amenities but at least they provide towels. There’s storage area for luggages too but is also on a different floor from the sleeping area. It’s fine if you’re on the budget and just need a place to crash in Shinjuku but just don’t expect a lot.

I checked in the night before CM107 Day 2. For just over 100 per night, and with its super convenient location for taking the Seagull to Odaiba (or the Monorail to the airport), the price is definitely unbeatable. The subway Daimon Station is right downstairs, along with convenience stores. Staff service made check-in easy. The bed was quite firm, which I actually found comfortable after not sleeping well on soft beds the previous two nights. There's a light inside the capsule, but only one two-pin socket, which was a bit insufficient.

Well, you get what you paid. I don’t usually write bad reviews so I’m a bit afraid. But if the owner have fixed all the problems I experienced then they can reply and new customer can make better informed decision I guess. There are no lock. So if you are a female traveler that hope to be safe in a female only room, don’t! It’s just a silly clear plastic door that separate the female room from the kitchen. And make the matter worse, the main door was not lock as well….I hope they fix the lock soon. They chose convenient over safety at the moment. Any stranger can barge in. They have nice kitchen area. There is one toilet and one bathroom, the toilet is clean. During my stay the guest that already there are very loud even though it’s after 11pm. I think they should stress the rule about noise at late night more. The location is convenient but it’s in the pub area. And next building is karaoke room. They sang until 5 am. Well, not all have a problem with noise during sleep. So pick your choice. The bed area in female dormitory is clean. But in terms of privacy and tidiness, no. They should really tidy up the window next to bed No.6 it looks like a refugee camp from what I saw. I didn’t assume all people there are long term stay but I don’t know 🤷♀️ The curtain was put on badly for the upper bed next to window, and it happened to be my bed. I have less privacy than the below bed and bed was made out of cheap metal so they move when the other move, which is fine for me but keep that in mine before you go. What worst in the bed area is the people that’s already there before me. They have the audacity to open my curtain and peek at me. I think the price attract weird people with no manners (maybe I have no manners too?) 🤷♀️ Any how, what I want to say is: Perfect area for shopping and find food and very close to the station. Good kitchen. Clean toilet. ⚠️No lock, unsafe. No privacy because poor bunk bed curtains. 🤑And you might be able to find a better hotel with your own tiny room with roughly same price the next day. So good luck!
