Find Top Hostels in Tokyo

The accommodation is about a ten-minute walk from the station. It's clean and tidy, and having a washing machine is a huge plus for travelers. The bathroom even has a bathtub for a relaxing soak. The only downside was that on the day we stayed, the guests upstairs kept running around, making a lot of noise! It improved after the host intervened, which I really appreciate 🙏 Kinshicho Station area is very lively, and I'd love to visit again if I get the chance!

If you’re the kind of traveler who likes options, Hotel Plus Hostel Tokyo Asakusa 2 is a great pick. Whether you’re into minimalist capsule pods, classic dorm-style bunk beds, or want a private room with your own toilet, they have it all. I stayed in the capsule-style cabin, which felt spacious enough with its own curtain, light, and power outlet. But if you prefer more privacy, you can upgrade to a room with en-suite bathroom. This flexibility makes it perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups. 🚗 Getting There 3-minute walk from Asakusa Station Around 50–60 min from Narita or Haneda Airport by train or airport limousine bus Super strategic if you're planning to explore Tokyo from the east side. 🛒 What Makes It Convenient Capsule cabins, shared dorms, and private rooms (some with their own toilet and shower) Gender-separated public bath (onsen-style) – warm, clean, and relaxing after a long walk Shared shower & toilet facilities are clean and well-maintained You can send/receive Yamato (TA-Q-BIN) parcels from the front desk – super helpful for travelers with big luggage or belanjaan 🛏️ Facilities & Vibe Spacious capsule layout with good airflow, lockers for valuables Onsen bath open in the evening – best time to enjoy it is early morning (6–8 AM) or after 10 PM for quieter experience Lounge area with billiards, vending machines, shared kitchen, and laundry Cleanliness is top-notch; even shared areas feel fresh 🗺️ Nearby Attractions Senso‑ji Temple & Kaminarimon Gate – just a 5-min walk Tokyo Skytree – around 15 min by foot or 1 stop by train Sumida River – great for evening strolls Lots of convenience stores, street food, and shopping streets nearby (including Don Quijote & Asakusa Nishi-sando) ✨ Final Thoughts Whether you're a backpacker or a budget-conscious traveler wanting flexibility, this place covers your needs. The mix of capsule, shared, and private rooms gives you control over comfort and cost. It’s also ideal for those flying in or out of Tokyo — close to the airport lines and able to handle Yamato shipping. Pro Tips: Book early if you want the private room with toilet — they go fast Choose women-only or men-only dorms if you prefer a calmer vibe Take a soak in the onsen before bed — it’s the perfect way to wind down

IMANO Tokyo Hostel is a great choice for travellers looking for a convenient and affordable stay in Shinjuku. The location is particularly convenient, being only about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, making it easy to explore Tokyo and access other parts of the city. The hostel provides a simple complimentary breakfast consisting of bread and butter, which is a nice basic option to start the day. Overall, a good place to stay for its convenient location and value, especially for travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring Tokyo.

I enjoyed everything about this place, the room is on the smaller side but enough! As a couple it is worth make sure you get the double bed instead of two twins 👍 very clean, cozy, easy and close to Senso Ji, bar street, etc. Would come back! Also, the service provided by Chen was amazing, I forgot an item in the hotel, made sure he found it, helped setting up a delivery and I had it before leaving Tokyo! Thanks so much Chen!!!

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.

I stayed for a few days and felt very comfortable; this hostel is pretty great overall. They have a buffet, so food is very convenient. The staff are all very friendly and patient when you have questions. Downstairs, there's a coffee shop and a water dispenser, which makes daily life very easy. The room was clean and tidy, and didn't feel cramped at all. I stayed in a six-person room, but there were only four of us, so there was plenty of space. The window faced the street, and the view was decent. Overall, it was a very reassuring stay.

This was my second time staying here, and I had another great experience! The location is very convenient, the capsules are clean and comfortable, and the facilities are well maintained. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.👍🏼

Location not the best unless you don’t mind walking 10-15 mins. Same floor with all dorms - female, male, mixed and toilet is not control by card, anyone can go in. Think about it at midnight bathing to worry a drunker to come in (it’s Shibuya, come on. Famous for drinking) Many local drinking bars outside the road on the way to hostel. This is good. Have lift for the rooms but no lift outside so I have to carry my luggage to few stairs to reach reception (after 15 mins walking from Shibuya station green line) omg I don’t mind to stay again if I only have a backpack.

Easy to find the hotel and you have to use elevator (no stairs) to the 3rd floor then easy and fast check in. Once you get locker key and go to your locker to get your pajamas, towels and disposable slippers. Be careful with slippers you can easily slip down if you’re not being careful. Too hot in the capsule so you gotta open half blinds to let cool air in your capsule. I haven’t tried the onsen. Great for one night, solo friendly and affordable budget

So, so much fun! I visited many places, and the hotel location was very convenient. The women's showers are private, which really helped my social anxiety (blush). The bathroom was exceptionally clean, and the yukata they provided was really interesting and fun to wear. I'll definitely book here again next time; the experience was genuinely great.
