If I'd have gotten a real door like all the other rooms had maybe the cockroach in my room could've been avoided.

The rooms are small, but it's cheap so that's ok. Beware the beds are just rolled up mattresses on the floor. They are very hard, so are the pillows. I reccomend bringing your own pillow if you like them soft.

Great place. I liked the traditional Japanese rooms and the staff was very helpful. Location was a bit far from some of the sights, but was it quiet and had more locals than tourists. Besides, the train system is great and can get you anywhere!

An okay hostel, but you have to be inside before 12 or they lock the door. Also the owner isn't fond of people making noise after 12.

Quiet and clean. not a lot of help from hosts, they check you in, give you key and thats it. Not a great area, far from city and if you are after fun dont go here, no air conditioner though it was advertised!!

Hotel New Azuma in Tokyo was the best hostel I've stayed in. The location was easily accessed by the Tokyo metro and I never had difficulty finding my way around. The rooms are simple. I found many of the other travelers were repeat visitors. On my next trip to Japan, I, too, will be a repeat...

I had a cockroach in my room, but I think it came in through the window, so best way to handle this is maybe not to open windows.

Getting here is a bit of a challenge as the hotel is a bit of a walk from the JR station. Since every person has their own room, it is also rare to see others unless they are coming/going to the shower and bathrooms. The staff was helpful and very friendly and spoke pretty good English.

For this price a very good possibility to stay in Tokyo. But note, it is not the nearest stay to Shinjuku or Shibuya, if you want to be mainly at this areas. It takes some time to travel by train to the west of Tokyo...

clearer directions regarding the exit from the train station to the street that leads to the hotel would be great. the train arrrives from nippori in a different part of the station to the south exit..making it quite tricky to find the exit. for people with heavy luggage it would be recommended... more clearer directions regarding the exit from the train station to the street that leads to the hotel would be great. the train arrrives from nippori in a different part of the station to the south exit..making it quite tricky to find the exit. for people with heavy luggage it would be recommended to take a taxi from the station at minami senju as there is a steep overpass, then the walk to the hotel. also ask for a room on the first floor as there is no elevator, only stairs.close

The rooms are very small, three tatami mats. Also the streets right around the hotel are littered with old men who often are drunk and passed out at night. The place is close to Ueno, so if that is very important to you then its worth staying there. Internet is not free, its 100 yen per 10...

Get off at Minami Senju and cross the rail lines via the big blue bridge a short distance away. Then follow the main road thru 3 sets of traffic lights and its down a side street on the left immediately after the big Hotel Hikari. About 6 minutes walk. Hope this helps someone.close

Absolutely a must when it comes to meeting interesting travellers from all around the globe. On the downside: you´ll meet the accasional cockroach too, especially when it wants to share your meal( especially in summer, I guess, that can be a nuisance...but it´s your own risk, when taking food...

All fluent English speaking, all going out of their way to help with directions, information and warm welcoming smiles. There is only one shower however which was a bit of a nightmare in the morning and it is a shame about the curfew at midnight! It's not ideally located but has good facilites and was quiet and warm. A good place to meet fellow travellers also.close
