I've stayed in a few hostels and this must be the worst. I can definitely vouch for all the other comments about the owner being terrible - when I arrived he made me wait for an hour for his wife to arrive and check me in, because he was 'too busy' doing some handyman work. This was despite telling me... More

i met quite nice people there, but the german owner.. oh my god. he was such a nightmare. when i extended my staying, he charged me higher rate. if he doesnt like some guests, he throw their food away from fridge. (i really saw that!) he introduces some jobs to backpackers under the table, we supposed to get $15 a... More

We stayed for 11 nights. We booked the room within short notice so our choice of somewhere to stay was limited. We settled for Tokyo Village as we had little other option for our budget range. We had been told that all of the hostels in Sydney were a bit of a dive unless you are going to fork out... More

Excellent! Friendliness, organization and assistance. An excellent example of efficiency and organization. Excellent kitchen equipment and landry. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Excellent location just 5 minutes walk from Central Station. Garden welcoming.

The place... More

Stayed here for one week in mid March. On arrival I was asked to pay a surcharge fee on my credit card as it was a non Australian card. This was not mentioned on the website and Tokyo village is the only hostel where I have ever had to do this. The whole place is in dire need of decorating... More

The rates are fairly reasonable but the place definitely needs a bit of modernising and a lick of paint. The wardrobes and beds need replacing and so do a couple of the staff, especially the grumpy german brunette who worked on reception as she was less than friendly. The long term residents and their insistent in singing along to Blink... More

The ppl who i met in tokyo village where ace and we had a good UNTILL the owner charlie started bringing in rules that the place is a prison!!hi is a total ignorant, money grabbing man, who doesnt look after his long term or short people that are staying there. There is actual rats in the rooms and cockroaches. There... More
