Hostel Nui, Tokyo

Really feel like home, super cosy cafe and close to the metro. Rooms are small but enough space for 2 and shared bathrooms are clean.

The walls are thin so we could hear the people talking and moving around the floors, which was quite annoying after midnight. But I guess it’s not the hostel fault but the behaviours of people :)

Staff is very nice and cleans the hostel everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, has multiple floors connected via staircase/lift. The sixth floor is used as lounge where you can bring you own food/cook and eat there as well as a laptop working stations. There is a lovely roof to hang out and watch the sunset (rooftop closes around 22:00). Beds are good, they provide sheets and you make your own bed. Toilets and showers and good and provided with amenities such as different soaps etc.

Sometimes there are guests who are loud but it is very rare and can happen anywhere. Loud snoring people as well

Friendly staff, great cafe and bar. Perfect location to stay in Tokyo.

Comfort bed with nice facilities and common area, met nice people too

Very good

Really enjoyed my stay here. Location is great and staff is very friendly.

The location was excellent. Close to the necessities and fun activities, but away from the hectic tourist areas. Close to the subway stations. Close to restaurants, etc. The staff was friendly and the building had a fun vibe and the room was spacious relative to other hostels in Japan. There is not a social vibe here, it is more like a hotel. The common area was enough for cooking and a good place to hang out. I would stay here again.

The staff were lovely and bar restaurant downstairs had an awesome vibe.

Didn’t have a natural feeling space to connect with other hostel guests if you weren’t eating or drinking in the restaurant.

Cool aesthetic, lots of great places to hang out. Comfortable dorms and beds. Quiet area, close to a riverside walking track and the subway.

A male guest mistook our female only dorm for his own and was able to enter using his room code, it wasn’t an issue but probably should be fixed. It is a little far from a lot of the tourist locations but the subway is close by and easy to use.

Fantastic hostel. The vibes in the bar area at dinner are fantastic. Great place to just hang out and relax. The bed were on the more comfortable side of hostels I've stayed in.

The rooms were SO HOT ! Be warned you can't change the room temperature, it's locked. Also not great access to the trains compared to other locations I've stayed in. You're right on the bay.

A quite area close to the metro. A really nice bar welcome you. Wide room, comfortable bed, locker for each guests. The bathroom was always clean, the room as well. Everything is as it is described. The staff is kind.

It would have been appreciated the towels included in the price.

I had a nice stay at Nui Hostel. I stayed in the dorm and it was very comfortable. There was absolutely no noise coming from the bar at the ground floor. I enjoyed particularly the facilities, like the open area on the 6th floor reserved for the hotel guests, ideal to do some work, to relax or to cook yourself something. The hotel is not on the Yamanote line, which for me was not a problem at all. I actually appreciated greatly how close it is to Senso-ji in Asakusa, and I would definitely recommend it especially if it's not your first time in Tokyo and you are looking forward to explore the eastern wards of the city (Taito, Sumida, Bunkyo, ecc).

I booked the room + breakfast. The food was good, but quite inexplicably there is no coffee/tea included. That's another 500Y I had to pay every morning. What's the point to serve breakfast without coffee or tea?

I loved the lounge and bar for its style and offer, and also the kitchen/common room for its social mingling.

I found it hard to store, sort, pack and unpack. The common area was relatively small and packed compared to other hostels I have been in.

Great

We began and ended our 3-week Japan trip at Nui, and it was fantastic! The vibe is amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved starting our mornings with coffee before exploring Tokyo and winding down with a beer in the evening—it's a great hangout spot. Rooms are small but comfortable and clean, and the bathrooms are excellent.

Close to public transport- very friendly helpful staff - other international travellers to chat with- the meals at the bar were great- walking by the river close by- cleanliness

Nothing

Very clean and very comfortable.

Staff is very kind and welcoming. The events that Nui staff set up helped me meet lots of people. Yuki and Shota made my Japan trip experience amazing. The common room is a nice place to hang out at. Bathrooms are good, there are a good amount of toilets and showers.

Superb excellent location, ~850m from Senso-ji and close to metro station and less than a minute walk to the river. Absolutely loved the location, accessibility, kind staff to also get me a super-early morning check-in without any added cost. They’ve such a quaint beautiful work-friendly bar. All the staff is very friendly and kind. The hostel gets a good crowd and you get to connect well with people.

The location is perfect.

The staff is really good

Great hostel facilities, really clean and lovely cafe for breakfast downstairs in a calm quieter neighbourhood

It was super clean, the staff was super kind and lovely, the location was good.

Great location and lovely staff. Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are clean and nice!

I just love it ! the hostel design and architecture was very neat! mix of Japonese and industrial style. They have everything to make your stay smooth. I loved the kitchen ( they even have ice!) Very good location with different subway around and convenience stores. The staff is dedicated to make the place clean and welcoming, Thank you for everything.

Friendly staff

Location and value for money would be great for families

Sharing the bathroom with strangers but it was ok very well designed facilities

The staff, the food, the bar, and the common areas.

N/A

The location is great, very quiet and safe. The ground floor bar/cafe and the kitchen are great for socializing. Overall, very cozy stay.

There is a strange smell in the bathroom.

This is my third time staying in Nui. It is one of my favorites by far. Location is great, but it's also relaxes. The facilities are amazing, the cafe/ bar is a super hip place loved by locals. I love it.

The staff were nice! The food and the location is amazing.

Nothing, loved the property.

Very nice staff, good bathrooms - they even have a bathtub! Big common rooms

everything

nothing

Beautiful design, clean, quiet but with a nice social bar/cafe area, easy to meet other solo travelers.

A bit far from the center but close to metro station so easy to get anywhere.

Cool vibe. Nice staff. Good food and drinks in restaurant/cafe.

I liked that it was in a chill, quiet area. But it made it a bit far from some major hotspots and attractions.

Beautiful establishment and very convenient. Staff consistently helpful and accommodating. Very easy to communicate with English and a small amount of Japanese.

Great breakfast!

The refined and well stocked bar, the cafe with the flower shop set up inside providing decor but also a sense of community. As such the ground floor area intermixing these elements draws locals and travellers alike, and provides a cool ambience to while away time, meet new people or simply enjoy the great food and drink. It feels pretty novel in this sense and a much more holistic experience than a hotel or travellers only hostel. Staff are excellent

I reserved a single room. It was comfortable enough bunk bed setup in a small concrete room, not great value for the price but then its not really the main reason you choose to stay here. It's a quiet residential area but well served with transport links and has the Sensoji temple nearby. Provides a nice counterpoint vs staying in say the madness of Shibuya, so I would rate this as a positive, but if you're a mad crazy party animal that only wants uptime, stay elsewhere. For everyone's sake

The cafe/bar is really cool, slightly expensive but really stylish; the food is great and the drinks are very well-made and well-poured. There's a rooftop and an outdoor area for smoking, and there's a common area with a good kitchen and laundry facilities (100 yen per use) on the 6th floor. There are lockers free to use in the dorm rooms but you'll need your own padlock. The beds are relatively comfortable in a bunk-bed (as opposed to capsule) style with curtains that are ok for blocking the light.

The location is great, the hostel is really nice in terms of design. You can also meet heaps of local if you speak japanese as on the ground floor they have a cafe. Bed is comfortable and shower is good.

One day when I was at the cafe some of the staff said me that I couldn't be there because the space was for guests. But this happened only 1 time in 6 days of staying.

The hostel is very clean, the bathrooms are the best part of the hostel to be honest, Japan standard haha. Friendly staff and nice bar inside the hostel, which is great to make some friends around

The location is not very good if you want to stay near Shibuya area or similar. 30 minutes by train, but the train station is a 7-minute walk from the hostel.

This place slaps. It has that perfectly chill and grungy hostel feel while still being super safe, secure, nice, and full of amenities. The lobby cafe food is so good and so popular with even the locals they were shooting a commercial for local tv one day I was there. The rooftop has an amazing view of the canal and the sky tree. Close to a lot of cool things. Kappabashi kitchen street, sensoji temple, short ride to Ginza or Akihabara.

There were almost too many locals in the lobby it made it hard to meet other travelers

The vibe was amazing, very multicultural hostel

My second stay here, really great hostel, and a great place to meet other travelers. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Wifi is not the best, but manageable. Could be an issue for those working remote.

Lovely, helpful staff - gave recommendations, saved us from travel peril, were friendly and informative Delicious food - French toast and seasonal citrus chicken udon especially good Great location Impeccable vibes

N/A

The common areas seem taken out of a pinterest picture. The upper floor holds a very nice kitchen and common room to work, chill, study or meet people. Very convenient for those seeking some time for themselves. There is an iMAC to work on. Plenty of bathrooms, and showers on every single floor. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. The first floor, which is restaurant/bar, is a great area to meet local people and foreigners.

The price is a little bit higher than usual, and the bar below is what I would say is pricey, expect to pay 600 yen for your coffee and probably 2000 yen if you go for a course and a drink. However, nobody is making you go there, so it's up to you. It's a great add on to a hostel.

Clean, trendy, convenient

I loved everything

Good hostel, good common areas for meeting people! Staff were friendly and helpful during Typhoon Shanshan.

Not super well located, but very close to Kuramae Station.

Cozy, great location, welcoming.

Just the mattress and sheets didnt feel comfortable

Comfortable and Friendly with excellent food and coffee. Facilities were really good.
