Stored bags in room early to come back to find all doors to room wide open to everyone - no security. Internet isnt free & expensive at 20 mins for 100yen, all other hostels in Japan has been free. Seems they are riding on reputation and not keeping up with facilities. Peeling wallpaper in room also not a plus. Does have a bath which is goodclose

Dormrooms are tiny and for 8 people too small. Besides there is a very bad, moldy smell in the rooms. Common area is ok.

Great hostel. Only complaint is that it was a little away from the main stations and the JR lines. We had a bit of trouble trying to find the station exits, so we ended up walking quite a bit at times. Otherwise, everything was great!

Every accomodation you might need (even hair dryers in the common bathroom!); very functional but also a good atmosphere. I first chose it for the price, now I'll have other reasons to return there.

This is a very good hostel with lots of local information and friendly staff - great if you have just arrived in Tokyo. It is easy to get around the city from here and the hostel is very clean and very well set up. It has a nice open common room and kitchen area so this is a good place to meet...

We stayed in K's House Mt.Fuji before tokyo. It is pretty much bigger and comes with free internet compares to K's House Tokyo. It does have a lift which is convenient for us. Room is small but clean and tidy. Friendly staffs and we made some new friends there.

This K's House wasn't as great as the one in Hakuba, but it was still quite good. The day I got there, there was a free sushi seminar, and there seemed to be a lot of adverts for other such programming. But the place had a sort of odor to it that wasn't so grand. Although it's located in Asakusa,...

This was a great hostel. My only two complaints are that there aren't enough lockers and that my room smelled - but that was the result of my roomate needing to do laundry - it wasn't the hostel's fault.
