It was a wonderful hostel: the hosts welcomed us late at night with big smiles and helped us make sure we’d arrive on time for our flight the next morning. The place was incredibly cosy and well arranged, with a shared kitchen, where you could serve yourself fresh tea and milk for free. We were welcomed in the room with hot water bottles to keep us warm and charging cables, in case anyone had forgotten their adaptator. I’ve never been to such a nice hostel, I completely recommend, and we were sad to not have discovered it earlier!

Good location, just one block away, one street at most, from Ōkubo Station. A good place to spend less in Tokyo if you don’t want to stay in Shibuya or Shinjuku, and still want to be close by train it’s a good option

Staff is the best! Super friendly, always open to chat and give advices, we had a christmas party/dinner, and the Manager was making Takoyaki for us. Just perfect, i made a lot of friends here and im very grateful for that. Akasaka is a very quiet area so it was amazing to stay here and walk around at night to relax from busy areas. I recomend this guest house 100%, on my next trip i will stay here again. Gracias Akasaka Guesthouse Hive!!

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.

It is excellent value for money. Well located on several metro lines, it's an easy walk away from them in a quiet street. The kitchen / lounge space is wide and mostly free, great for breakfast or a quick break during the day.It's great that you can let yourself in at night if you arrive late. The beds Are comfortable and I liked that we were only four in the room leaving space to store our luggages. The bathroom was clean and the body soap, shampoo and conditioner smell heavenly. Lastly the staff was helpful and very nice. Thank you for a great stay!

All hostels in Tokyo

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.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
