THE WARDROBE Hotel Shimokitazawa

Lovely

Nothing

Style, character and value for money

Nothing

Location in the heart of Shimokitazawa. Next to a great ramen spot. Clean showers and bathrooms. I appreciated they also had a full set of shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the showers

Rooms felt quite crowded especially with suitcases. As it's a central location there was a lot of noise coming from outside, but the hostel did provide ear plugs.

The location of the hostel is really good, right in the heart of Shimokitazawa which is few stations away from Shibuya. We luckily two bottom bunk beds which was a blessing. Getting to the top ones seemed a bit difficult. Internet was good, and meeting people was easy because of the shared space.

Unfortunately no space to lock your luggage, we had to keep in the beds and hope that no one opens the curtains. Reaching or texting staff was difficult, sometimes I did not get an answer for 24h and complaints were disregarded. Entertaining the premises was also a bit difficult because the instructions were a bit unclear. Another note: Not the hostels fault but some guests were unpleasant, for example coming into your room in the middle of night and sleeping at a free bed bc their own room was loud (snoring) and then came to our room and snored. Also other people randomly taking a picture of you. If you are a women or two women traveling, i recommend getting a single or privat room.
