to me it just perfect, even tough the hallway is too small, but it's backpacker's hostel, it'll fit your your backpack. the bathroom is clean, the room is fresh (using air freshener machine) and the staff are very helpful. met mami (night staff) and she was nice, friendly and show us the hidden place less tourist. good location, near asakusa,...

We spent 4 nights here and loved it so much that we went back for our last nights in Japan at the end of our trip! The staff is great and extremely helpful, and like most hostels, they have tons of information about what to see, where to go, etc. When we arrived, they had flags hanging from our country... More

This hostel is 15 mins walk from the metro and everytime you must pass the famous bridges there. If you have a big suitcase would take longer and they don't have lift there. Lucky that the staff helped me to life it up to 3rd floor which is very nice. The heater in the room is warm enough for the... More

There is nothing really to complain about! Staff was generally very helpful; private rooms are small but standard for Tokyo; bathrooms are very clean and well-maintained; transit is very close and there is also a solid running path nearby along the river. I would stay here again (and probably will when I return in May).

Small hostel. Super small room. It's like a walk in closet. However, it was a perfect room to just have your things and sleep :) There are shared bathrooms, and they were always well maintained and cleaned. The staff was more than helpful and very friendly. It was easy to walk out and hop on a subway to get to... More

The location near Asakusa is ideal as it is near two rail stations, 5-10 mins walk depending on your walk speed. Rooms and toilets are clean, there was internet and a well decorated kitchen, everything seemed handy no matter you are staying for long or shorter. Also the reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful when it comes to any... More

5-10-min walk from the subway station, so location is good. Complete, and clean amenities for a hostel. Appreciated that the shower room is divided into two, one for the main shower and the other as a changing room. The space is clean, albeit small, but tolerable. The receptionists are friendly, and helpful. Good that there's a vendo right across the... More

Rooms are clean, but small (=regular japanese size). Kitchen and toilets were clean. However, the shower walls outside the plastic shower cabin were a little moldy. The staff provides a lot of useful information concerning sights, language, food and transportation. Asakusa is just a few minutes away by walking. Tokyo Skytree as well. Overall, we had a very good experience... More

Clean, good location, and a great staff. I've stayed at a few hostels around Tokyo and Samurai is hands down my favorite. It's a better deal than the odd hostel you might find in Shinjuku and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. Also, Asakusa is a nice area and a pretty great place to set up base while... More
