Delightful week at here, it was exceeded my expectations despite the affordable price. Masami and the team were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained. About luggage storage: available starting from 6am (access the building via underground train station entrance, not from the ground level) to 11pm. Check in: After 3pm Curfew: building was locked during 11pm until next day 6am for security reasons.

Overall this place is in a good location that's not far from Iidabashi Station. But its biggest flaw is its strict curfew from 11pm-6am. I am going to start off with the positives about this place: The dorms are really clean and the beds are comfortable. The other plus is that there is a communal bath which is great to have after a long day of travelling. You also get a really nice view of Tokyo since you are on the 18th floor of the building. The negatives: The curfew from 11pm to 6am did make my stay here a bit unpleasant. I understand that this was not a decision made by management of the hostel but the private owners of the building. It personally did disrupt some plans I had. While I acknowledge it is partially my fault for not reading ahead I did wish this hostel would clearly mark this curfew in advertisements and listings. I was only told about this curfew a few days after my booking via email. Overall as hostels go, this place is really clean and well maintained. I paid about 3500 yen to stay for one night so it was really good value. The staff at the desk are really nice and professional. They try their best to make your stay comfortable. The curfew I felt was a bit unreasonable. Good place to stay if you don't have plans past 11pm.

Honestly, this is the best place I have been too regarding 3 stars or lower hotels/hostels. Services in Japan are somewhat very different from the rest of the world. Kind staff, quiet place, respectful people. I live almost everything here. The room is spacious, the bathrooms are sparking clean and big, you’ll have great showers here. The toilets are also super clean, thanks to the staff and bidets are always available. The room lacks of table but you can always find one in a common place.

Backpacker review- Rooms smell like socks and pets, under maintained, can hear the sound of trains at night. The price is low but the value for money is lower. Also, the building is locked from 11PM till 6AM, so you can’t go out or in at night.

Great location right next to the train station and close to shopping. The bedrooms were reasonably clean however the bathrooms were filthy and stank like urine. The shared bath was feral and smelled really bad, and had hairs floating in it. I have concerns about the cleanliness of the bedding in the bedrooms as we were not required to return pillows or blankets for cleaning when we returned the sheets. The buffet breakfast was pretty decent though and the views were great.
