After travelling around Japan for 6 months, we stayed here for 2 days to do a bit of sight-seeing. It was a bit pricey for what you get, but still the cheapest around. Nice and handy location- good bars nearby (samurai Bar is a good one) The common room seems to be always full of foreigners.

My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights. It was very comfy, with good facilities and it's located just near the beautiful Senso-ji Temple. Definitely reccommend this hostel.

Stayed there Sept 2011. It was really clean, good atmosphere. They have a dvd player and video games, free internet. All around the hostel you can find good places to eat for not much. I stayed in a dorm, but they also have nice private rooms, I made a friend who showed me their room. The placement is really good... More

Dorm bed for 3000 yen in tokyo is very good value. Can make reservations online via e-mail which saves booking fees and they respond promptly. Website has very good instructions for getting to the hostel from airports. Asakusa is a great location, a little out of town, bit quieter, but has Senso-ji temple and plenty of restaurants. Tokyo transport is... More

Our family of 5 headed to Japan recently and stayed at Sakura Hostel in Asakusa, Tokyo. We have 6 bed room which was heated, warm thick bedding and a shared bathroom. It was a safe and friendly base for us to launch into our days of sightseeing. It was close to tourist spots and had access to a number of... More

We would not rave about this hotel. The family who own the hotel are very nice and extremely helpful - even driving us to Ueno station but the reception area is quite messy, the rooms are very ordinary and the bathroom is quite small. Also, it is not in a great location - near a busy intersection. My advice would... More

Stayed here nearly a week in the summer of 2010, re-upping our stay each morning. Loved it. Good breakfast, lovely and very helpful staff, clean linens, clean bathroom. They stored our luggage when we arrived early as well. Lockable lockers in the rooms. Great location!! Hard to find the first time around though. Would stay here again, even though my... More

Visited in Apr 2011. A bit old hostel but clean and PERFECT location. We love the way from metro station to the hostel passing Asakusa temple, it gives us the real atmostphere of old Tokyo.

Sakura is a modern busy hostel with good rooms. The hostel is adequately equipped and the residents are maily on the young side. The best part is its location. Straight underground run into the city, loads of things to see, eat and do nearby. Asakuse is probably the best area in Tokyo
