The room was very cramped, and the toilet was even worse. The bed was also small, a futon laid on top of a dirty and damaged mattress. The towels provided are of poor quality and smelled. The location was good though, close to Sensoji Temple, various department stores and restaurants. The staff spoke excellent English and are extremely helpful. more

We stayed one night here in a private room. The room was small, but enough room to move around in. There was a little table with tea service, a small tv, and private shower/bath.

Stayed a night. Very clean but bunk beds just about fill up one side of the room. Convenient to supermarkets, but 25 mins to walk from Ueno station. Did not use the subway. Value for money. more

We stayed at a small twin room and reserved for two nights. The next morning I woke up with lots of itchiness and some splattered blood around my futon bed. Turns out I got bitten by bedbugs. Believe me, I had more than 20 bites all around my arms, neck and my legs. We cancelled the reservation for the next... more

Dorm rooms are small - 6 to a room and little space to move, but theres room to store luggage. The 1st floor is a different story. We booked a twin room with... more

It is dirty ( muld in the bathroom), smellish ( you have a small window not enough to ventilate the room). The room was full of bugs as we realized after our second night. of non sleep due... more

A highly recommended accommodation if you are searching for a budget place to stay in pricey Tokyo. Toukaisou is located near Tawaramachi metro station (7-minute stroll). However, it is tucked off the main road and can be quite a challenge to locate it if you don't have a map on hand. Hence it is highly advisable to print and bring... more
