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!

Great location, about a 20 minute walk from Sensoji and Asakusa. A little off the beaten path so be prepared to walk a little to get to different locations around Tokyo. We loved how quiet it was, it was a great break from the Tokyo crowds. Beds were very comfortable, not too many people in the rooms. There is a bath available in addition to the showers in the female dorms, we did not use it but it looked great! We loved the bike rentals, at 100 yen an hour they were super affordable and a great way to bike around and see the city! We wish we had stayed longer just to be able to bike around more (make sure you ask where bike parking is where you intend to go if you do not already know). Breakfast was super tasty. Overall 100% recommended for price and experience.

Location is not far from Haneda International Airport. Walking distance to the Terminal 3 (less than 2KM) but if you are carrying big luggage it is not recommended to walk. Checked in was smoothly eventhough we arrived at midnight. Feel safe as the room can only be entered by using the door key. The bed is comfortable and clean.

The hotel has very friendly and nice staff. They had clean room/bathroom/toilet everyday and provide fast and easy check-in/ check-out. The bed was comfortable and had enough space for me who is 187 cm and has big body. They have locker that you can put your personal effects. They showed the Japanese hospitality towards to me. I really feel like home though my Tokyo holiday. Thank you for making a great memory!

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.
