Stayed in female for a few nights. I am lucky to have a bed close to the heater. Staff quite friendly. Provide many useful information. Also with free tea & Coffee. Location is very good. It is 3 mins walk from the Asakusa station as long as you come out of the right exit. (There are not many Japan stations... More

It's surprising that with its price, Khaosan Tokyo Original has so many things to offer: easy and cheap access from Haneda airport (Asakusa Toei line) and access to subway station; nice, energetic and helpful staffs; quite clean with good common facilities; and nice river view from my dorm room (to Sumida river). The neihgbourhood is kind of quiet while also... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in a 2 person private room. Compared to other hostels and accommodation in Tokyo, this is one of the cheapest yet close to the subway and train stations. Asakusa is a beautiful place and convenient location to other interesting cities like Ueno, Tsukiji, Ryogoku and Akihabara. For what you're paying, of course there are... More

What you pay is what you get. Love the bed. Staff are helpful. Every corner of the hostel are clean. Almost excellent except for the common room which is always crowded and the fact that my bed is situated right under the heater. More

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

The main point is that this place is too small so there is not enough space for staying with a minimum of comfort. You can't even open your baggage because there isn't enough space between bed and wall!!! The common spaces aren't big enough so you spend most of the time saying "sorry" and "excuse me" because you can't even... More
