first, why are people treating this place like a hotel? it's a cheap traveler's backpack hostel joint. i should also state this spot is located in a day laborer district which is a pretty rare and shocking sight for most. but the most safe place in NYC doesn't even match up to how peaceful this area is. that's Japanese culture...

If you are just looking somewhere to sleep and take a shower and don`t care too much with cleaning and a "after war building" enviroment, this is OK, But believe me, with more $12 (couple room) you can get something much, much better (hotelmaruchu, for instance). I classify this place as the worst place I have ever stayed! From the... More

Went here in October 2011, it is exactly what it says - a backpackers hotel. The beds were a thin mattress on the floor which take up the entire room. If you are young and budgeting then this is perfect, it is not for elder people who are seeking comfort and have cash to spend. It is convenient located near... More

Stayed here for one week during trip to Tokyo. The staff are very nice especially Mr.Bobby and Miss Yumiko. Since my flight arrive late at Haneda, Bobby was kind enough to wait for me to arrive at their hotel after 12.00am or else, the check in counter will be closed after 10.00pm. Location wise, it is merely a 10min walk... More

The best aspects are the good location and price. Very close to the metro and inexpensive. The staff are also very nice. However the common washrooms were not in great condition, black spots in showers, loose taps. Could benefit from increased maintenance and cleaning. The room was small and basic with a futon and clean sheets. The other downside was... More

Place wasn't hard to find, felt a little sketchy (only cuz you can tell it's not that new from the inside) at first but after the first night it was fine. We didn't feel like it was dangerous at all and were never scared while we stayed here. Place is very clean, clean bathrooms, hot showers, bicycles you can rent,... More

Was here during March 2011. I must say, the staffs are very nice, helpful and friendly! There's bicycle for rent. If you don't mind a little exercise, you can reach Asakusa by bike. Room is small, but it's better than staying in capsule. Price is cheaper than capsule and the neighborhood is good. They have a desktop computer with internet... More

Place was not hard to find, though pictures (gotten from another hotel site) helped me to find the place. just get off at minami-senju, go to the south exit, go up the bridge, cross the bridge, keep walking till u reach the 7-11 across the road, turn right at the 7-11, and turn left at small road, and you'd see...

I admit I was a little worried before taking my girlfriend there for 3 nights. We had the western room and it was fine. Clean albeit very small with old stained decor, but for the price it was ideal. We had 2 large suitcases and 2 more small ones and there was enough room. Location is fine too - close... More
