Overally a great hotel in a superb location. Only an 8 minute walk from Ikebukuro station. The dining area was great. The restaurant was always buzzing and the food and drink options were good. The weekly share a meal with someone from another country/culture is a great idea.

Toast and soup is not breakfast. Woke every morning by cleaning staff seemingly pounding on the rooms. I liked the manager Akio, he was very helpful.

I loved how clean the room was and the daily check in with the maid, in case we needed anything she would come between 10am-2pm and please do expect the room to be clean when you return from your adventures in Japan! Also the cafe on the 1st floor of the annex building has very good food which I liked when I get back at the hotel before 9pm then I have an hour to go to the cafe before setting in my room for the night 😊

Great location

The hostel boasts an excellent location, conveniently close to public transportation, restaurants, and shops. I reserved a private room with four bunk beds at a very affordable price. The breakfast is simple, consisting of toast, plain soup, and coffee or tea. The gentleman at the front desk was extremely helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable.

There are no amenities in the hostel , the bunk rooms have to be renovated, there were two old guys snoring all the time which made my sleep really so difficult. The money exchange in lobby down there is offering 139 yen for one dollar which is really a very high exhange rate which should not be the case , you have to be honest with travellers and not trying to empty their pockets
