Nice place! Kinda hard to find though. I had a private room with bunk beds, it also had a tv and balcony. Only 1 shower and 1 bath though.

A bit far from the station, and not on JR line if anyone needs to know that!close

We stayed in a private room. It everything you need for a comfortable stay, except that during our 4 night stay they didn't clean once. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful.

Great place, a little far from the main hubs of tokyo but nothing a couple of train rides cant fix. The hostel was great with an awesome chill out area. Staff are super friendly and Yosuke rules! .. Recommend this place to anyone who wants to meet people and doesnt mind staying just a little bit...

Although the hostel is relatively close to Minowa station - it is another hour to anywhere of significant interest outside Ueno.

On top of that, the location of this place is a ten minute walk from MINOWA station, very far from central Tokyo. To get to Roppongi alone (which is along the same subway route and closest Tokyo hot spot) takes a good twenty minutes plus. At least try for a hostel in Ueno, NOT Minowa (which is two stops further north).close

Great hostel ... 10 minute walk from the Minowa station on the convenient Hibiya line. Clean, secure (get a locker), and fun (you can always meet really fun people in the lounge). Staff is very friendly and helpful. And on a vain note, one of the guys there, Yosuke, is really attractive <3.

I really liked this place. The rooms were well priced and clean. The communal areas were great for socializing. The only prob is that it is a bit far out.If you want to go out, you will have to go out the whole night

The hostel is not difficult to find however it is about 5 blocks away from the subway stop, a little far. Only 2 computers for internet service, you usually have to wait for one, however it is free. The rooms need updating, bed and pillows not so comfortable. The kitchen is not too clean. Overall...

It is also far away from the JR station (you always will have to get a subway, and even then, walk for about 700 mts)... (and the nearest beer-vending place is a 7min walk, that sucked) Some of the staff didn't even bothered to answer to a good morning... My advice is to try to find some other hostel in the same price range, that will surely be better.close

Great place, locations not the best but really fun. Staff is friendly and helpful except for 1 guy who is a complete jackass, but only saw him once in my whole stay so it wasnt a big deal. Definately one of the best hostels in my stay in Japan.
