The host JIJ was waiting to greet me and was socializing with a couple of the guests staying there. I messed up on the information and he was able to fix it no problem. I spent the rest of the night with them and it felt like we had known each other for years. It was one of the best nights of my trip all because of JIJ's hospitality.

Simple breakfast at 7am with coffee or tea was good.
Directions to the place from google were wrong. From otemachi station you have to turn right its a 30min walk not 9 mins, go past tokoyo hotel, left from seven eleven up 3 streets then turn right.

Jij the owner will treat you well. The location is about a 20-minute walk from Tokyo Station and is also close to a subway, making it easy to travel around Tokyo. It offers dormitory-style bunk bed accommodation, with shared shower and bathroom facilities.

This is a hard one as I am a permanent traveler and visit about 200 hostels a year so I will give my honest review about this property because I chose this property by reading the reviews and they were all good but I experienced it different. The location is okay, 15 min walk from Tokyo train station, its a business area quiet at night, convenience stores around and multiple restaurants in different price ranges, the owner is a lovely 82 yrs old Japanese who travelled in his younger years and probably started this hostel some years ago. There is no space in the hostel I think that's the main thing what bothered me, you can not even call it cozy small, there is just no space as the owner stocks on stuff and doesn't organise the place! WIFI in dorm is not working properly, beds are layered with 2 thin matrasses, cleaning is questionable as yes the bins are emptied but bathrooms and floor are not clean with multiple guest coming in and out I think it is unhygienic. Now the owner focuses mainly on putting a small free breakfast in place every morning in that tiny space where he wants to gather the guests which ofcourse is a nice gesture but hardly people came down for the breakfast, sad I feel, his communication is a problem here. I think I became claustrofobic in that place and it made my stay in Tokyo different then I expected but yeah a traveler needs to be flexible all the time so I survived my 4 nights, next time I will definitely check at least 20 reviews before booking a property!
