This place was great! Super clean and new, easy location for Disney (17 min taxi), the sand was a hit with the kids. spacious hang out areas. Breakfast was mostly really great! 1 morning of the 3 it was very Japanese so the kids didn't eat it (but they filled up on cereal instead!). It comes packaged so you can take it with you if you aren't ready to eat. The room had what we needed to sleep and lay out our luggage easily. check in and check out was easy. Great value for money

It’s my best stay in this trip to Japan! Not only the rooms are tidy and cozy, but also the owner Sanae-san is really nice! The atmosphere in the guests is great, and I made friends there! I’m so lucky to have spent my days in Grapehouse!

Akasaka guest house hive is a home away from home with staff that genuinely value your wellbeing. Every staff member is accomodating and go the extra mile to assist you. I had misplaced an item during an evening visit to shibuya and one of the staff members, Kaori, went out of her way to call various venues and eventually helped me find it! The best aspects of staying at HIVE besides the awesome staff are: - Shibuya and shinjuku can easily be reached from this location - The hostel bed areas are spacious and have ample compartments for hanging clothes and valuables - The common area had murals decorated by travellers which gave the hostel a homely touch - The kitchen area had food items that were free - Convenience stores and trains are within walking distance You definitely leave as a friend!

Very nice accommodations, modern design, and very comfortable. I was lucky to be able to find this place, and I booked 3 nights not long before the check-in date. The staff is great, especially Akino. I didn't ask for her name, but I saw it on the "Meet Our Staff" board. She is an enthusiastic, energetic girl who can speak English very well and has traveled to many countries. Both the room and the bathroom are nice, clean, and private even though it is a shared space.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.
