The room i stayed in was kinda a dark pit with 3 bunk beds in it. It was clean and the bathroom was ok so if you want to save money then it is ok. Location is close to subway so thats good.

We slept four to a room in bunked beds. The room was small but comfortable (television and air conditioning provided.) We were given robes and slippers. Our bathroom was just outside the room. Breakfast downstairs was cheap and good. Thank you to Jimbocho Sakura Hotel for a pleasant stay in...

Very clean hotel with great facilities. Staff seemed a bit uninterested in customers as so busy therefore dont need to bother making good impression.

Was quite nice there, you can get a reasonably priced breakfast and have (paid) internet access. Good location as well, hostel-style atmosphere (as opposed to a jap. style ryokan).

Location is pretty good. Stuff was not always willing to help, only after I asked 2nd and 3rd time :-(. Our room was in a corner, with a supersmall window, thus extremely dark. Showers and toilets were completely all right. Although I didnt like this place because of dark room and cold stuff,... more Location is pretty good.

Although I didnt like this place because of dark room and cold stuff, still it is located in a very good part of Tokyo and most probably I would book my bed there again...

Breakfast is listed under facilities; however, upon arrival we found out that it actually is not included in the accommodations fee and is served at extra charge. This should be pointed out at your website -just like towels/bathrobes are- in order to avoid further misinterpretations.

I really liked this place. The only thing that would have made it perfect would be if they provided full sized towels. Other than that, I was happy with my experience.

I like how there's no curfew. The staff is so friendly; they work very hard at the front desk and at the cafe. It's nice meeting Japanese business people in the cafe!

The security was very bad especially when you have to leave the bags along the lobby area while they change your rooms. Have to pay for internet even if you are a guest. The internet terminal and working place for own laptop is small. There is no pantry where you can keep your food or fruits.

The internet terminal and working place for own laptop is small. There is no pantry where you can keep your food or fruits. No kitchen or washing detergent to clean personal utensils. One of the most disappointing hostel so far and had to stay there for 4 night. Arrhhh.... will never recommend to anyone. And not cheap too. There are cheaper hostel that have better facilities.close

One person in my group was constantly being bitten at night by what we can only assume what were bedbugs. Would not recommend this hostel. The location was in a business-y part of town with nothing to do, and despite there being locks on the room doors, I didn't feel like my belongings were safe...

Jimbocho was a great find and surprisingly cheap considering the cleanliness and service. Laundered sheets, slippers, TV, clean bathrooms and great English-speaking staff. I'd definitely come here again. Thank you!

Staff is very helpful, even at late hours. Cleanliness of shared bath and private room were excellent. Slippers, bathrobe, shampoo & soap provided. Towels not provided. Located 5 min from Jimbocho station. Very good value.
