Felt like a home away from home.

Private room was spacious and perfect to use as a base while exploring Tokyo. Bed was comfortable, plenty of lights and power sockets for my gadgets. Bathrooms clean and showers hot during winter. Even has laundry facilities! Staff were friendly and helpful, never felt like I was bothering them. Cafe and bar is very social mornings and evenings, but always found a corner to sit quietly.

I was travelling solo, wish I could have stayed with friends, it was such a nice place. No problems during the stay at all.

I would stay again!

The staff was kind, I liked the common area and the location was fabulous.

I got the top bed and it was a bit scary when going down the stairs.

Had the most memorable and comfortable stay in Tokyo here.

Everything. Was a perfect stay. Even gave up really comfy indoor sandals. All staffs were amazing, helpful and friendly. They are willing to go the extra mile with small kind gestures to make sure that you have a nice stay.

1) 4pm check in pretty late. 2)😅 the bar/restaurant should try to serve Japanese food options

Beautiful and very social hostel with 2 Common areas. The rooms are big enough to store your luggage with lockers, nice bath facilities and the best thing about the hostels are the Common areas. It's so nice there. The food is a bit pricey but worth it - it's soooo delicious. I would definitely go back there again.

It's a bit far away from all the Sightseeing stuff and Shinjuku/ shibuja

Amazing staff, facilities and location.

The facilities were great - excellent atmosphere in the bar downstairs which is always busy and the staff are very friendly. Also the rooftop has a nice view and there is a common room with a kitchen and laundry services to use for convenience. The amenities were also conveniently on our floor with the option of female only the floor below us and very clean with hair dryers/ straighteners available for use.An elevator was available as well so we didn’t have to carry our luggage up stairs which was nice. You also have the opportunity to rent bicycles for a reasonable price! We rented bicycles and had so much fun cycling around the city :)) Highly recommend nui hostel bar and lounge.

The rooms were small however that is to be expected in a hostel, especially in Japan so not much complaint :) Also, there was no locker in our room.

Very good

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the Hostel greats with a very welcoming and beautiful cafe/bar space with good (albeit overpriced) food and drinks. There were bikes for short time rental to a fair price. The communal space under the roof is well equipped and spacious enough. There’s a female only bathroom option. I liked the location close to the river and the nice Asakusa quarter as well as public transportation. For Tokyo a reasonable price!

The cleanliness of the bathrooms varied a lot. This was not only due to insufficient cleaning but also to the other guests that did not clean up after themselves, sadly a behavior that always increases with the sitze of the hostel. The bed sheets are not enclosing the duvet but merely used like blankets between you and the duvet - not the most comfortable or hygienic solution I believe..

Nice place to stay and meet others

I easily made friends, the bar and cafe were great for grabbing a quick bite and I like the female only bathrooms which were clean and had good water pressure.

Our dorm room door was squeaky making it very hard to sleep and the corridors echoed so even the private rooms were a little loud for light sleepers. Towels were included for private rooms but not the dorms - this would be a nice touch

Great hostel

Extremely clean shared bathroom and kitchen area at all times of the day and night. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great bar downstairs. Lovely common room/kitchen area.

Was quite noisy with the bar below. The rooms were also too warm and you couldn’t change the air con settings.

A wonderful time!

Very good location, central to many things. The bar was very social and open, lovely ambience. The room was clean and comfortable.

One of the staff members at the front treated me terribly every time she saw me, unprovoked. Whether it was personal or not, she needs to fix her attitude.

Fabulous

Very social hostel with an aesthetic and clean layout. Nice dining area/bar downstairs as well, though the prices of coffee and food were too expensive - better to go to convenience stores or local restaurants nearby.

The female dormitory was very warm at night and the drier did not work.

Good hostel for solo-travellers

It is a really nice hostel, not so social tho. The common areas are really beautiful and the rooftop at night is stunning! I’d recommend going there, it’s a really nice hostel with a bar and restaurant downstairs.

My room was on the second floor and there was noise from the first floor (bar and restaurant) till around 1 am. It wasn’t too bad but should be considered.

Ohhhh HELLO TOKYO! Best Hostel in Tokyo

Accommodating and welcoming. I called the hostel prior to coming to Japan and I was answered on the phone with so much welcome. Staff Tets is very accommodating, welcoming and friendly. The hostel is clean. There are many amenities inside the toilet. Bar is available from the ground lobby and it’s a good place to hang out and meet people. Family Mart and 7/11 is nearby. Subway Kuramae is very close to the hostel. The view from the rooftop is amazing. You can see Tokyo Skytree.

Nothing.
