This hotel has everything you need when your looking for a affordable private room, its the etap of Japan! If you don't have a problem with the room being the size of a two man tent and sleeping on the floor, and all you want in life is a room then this is your place. Its clean and so nicely decorated. Everything works and theres free wifi (fantastic for making those skype calls home) The staff are super helpful, i locked my self out of suitcase on arrival and the guy had to smash it open for me! The area is pleasant enough, and close to the subway and walking distance to the nearest tourist hotspot. The showers and toliets were clean, you do have to pay 100 yen for a shower but 5 mins is plenty time. It really makes you feel like your in a real japanese place with the tatami straw mats and futons. I would stay here again definitely and recommend it to everyone!

Aizuya Inn was a clean and charming place tucked away in the Taito district of Tokyo. For under 3000yen, I enjoyed immaculate and clean Japanese decor, and a single tamami room just the right size for a solo traveller. Very quiet, enabling good night's sleep. Staff were friendly. Only drawbacks were lack of Japanese maps (I prefer to read Japanese than English when it comes to travelling), and the location was a little bit out of the way, a little north of Ueno, Tokyo and Akihabara. Overall, a very pleasant and stay, recommended for those on a tight budget.

I stayed here with a friend this summer, and was very pleased with Aizuya Inn. The room was clean, not at all noisy and the inn itself was nicely decorated and again, always clean. The area had direct and easy access to Ueno and from here the whole of Tokyo is easily accessible. Very convenient, and felt safe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and it offered all the facilities you could need. No complaints whatsoever!

I stayed here for two nights and I had such a fantastic stay. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. The place is really clean and warm and really nicely decorated throughout. The showers are coin operated but they are great showers and very clean. On my last morning I had a Japanese breakfast from the restaurant that is part of the hostel and it was really excellent.

The location is fine - it's not that central but I found it relatively easy to get around and as I wasn't staying up too late partying it wasn't a problem. The area felt safe to me, I never had any worries.

Thanks for a fantastic stay!
