Location is pretty good, about 10 mins walk from nearest metro station. Can easily walk to asakusa or ueno from here. Living conditions wise, not ideal as it is very cramped and rather dirty. The locker in my capsule was not cleaned and traces of previous occupants was there (cup noodles, rubbish, etc). Need to rent towel from them also. Amenities are avail however, q basic. Probably would not choose to stay here again, mainly due to hygiene and space issue. Better to stay in a hostel.

Stayed here earlier this year. Small, old but clean place and owner was very kind. It's a bit noisy when the windows are out cuz there are still people all night and early morning. The only thing I wasn't quite happy with was the no packing after 10pm policy - people enjoy their holidays til last minute and having to finish packing the night before at 10 is too early considering people may fly early. Maybe change it so that people are quiet with opening their suitcases or loosen up the time to later the night etc. - people should be using their common decency to begin with though

Just don’t. 6 years ago it was good and clean. Now it’s sad, filthy and smells hard like pee. We nope out of there after 1 night. Good location is the bright side.

Filthy, absolutely filthy. Showers clogged up with hair. Kitchen/living area was a mess. Curtains with dried stains. Toilet walls and floors dirty.

Nope. I know it’s cheap, but you pay for what you get (dirty hostel crowded that smells like piss). If you like to take your shower with the ceilling covered in mold, that’s the place to be!
