Hotel Owl Tokyo Nippori

Hotel Owl Tokyo Nippori

4/518 Reviews
Ueno/Asakusa/Ryougoku
We arrived one afternoon from a long trip back from Hiroshima, It is VERY close to Nippori station which is excellent because this station links directly with Narita airport. Approx 5-10 min walk to station. The staff seemed nice, but unlike any other part of japan (including Tokyo) that we have been, they were not very talkative. They didnt seem interested in where we had been and they didnt show us any interesting things in the area, etc. Fortunatly we were a little tired so we didnt mind this too much. There is NO private storage of luggae in this hotel! The cases are left by reception, in plain view of every visitor (on the visitor side of reception!). They said they watch them but I personally think it would be very easy to wheel a case out of the door without noticing, they are not secured at all to anything. There is an owl in the corner of reception, right beside the rubbish bin. It is tied up to a post. When we arrived the poor thing was chewing at the rope attaching it to the post. It seemed a little stressed. I am a veterinary nurse and i did have to bite my tongue at the site. The room is clean and there is a little shoe cupboard to remove shoes before entering the dorm area. We stayed in a 4 bed dorm. (mixed sex) and unfortunatly the have put the shower room inside the dorm, which is a small room anyway, so you can hear EVERYTHING. doors opening and closing and curtains constantly being opened and closed. Loud footsteps on the ceeling and people in the next dorm putting plugs in and out of walls all night. When people leave early in the morning, you can hear them come in and out very clearly. The room we stayed in was close to reception and all night you could hear the front door chime. I undertstand that it is not the hotels fault for other guests being noisy, but it is definatly worth mentioning. The walls seem to be paper thin. The toilets are situated outside the room. Unfortunately the 'beds' are extremely thin. I stayed on futons for the whole 6 week trip to japan, but these are not comfortable beds. My bed had a long black hair in it, so I am not sure if it was cleaned before I arrived. The coffee in reception tastes awful, There is a map on the wall showing the area which I thought was nice. Overal, unfortunatly i would not stay here again, just too noisy and not comfortable to sleep. The good thing about this hotel however is that it is SO CHEAP! If you are on a very strict budget and dont mind being a little uncomfortable then go for it!

Pro's : Rooms are very clean with bright lights. Aircon worked fine. Sanitair is very well maintained and comfortable showers. WiFi strength and internet speeds are good. Personal is friendly. Hostel is located close to a metro station and grocery shop (5minute walk). We had the biggest 2 person room which was fine. Con's : kitchen and equipment is not sufficient for a 10 story hostel. Not enough kitchen equipment, extremely small fridge and just 2 stoves. Really frustrating if you like to make use of these facilities. The lounge is pretty small for a hostel this size. Rooms could be designed better to optimize the space for you luggage in a small space (for example space under the bed or extra wall rack etc).
