Pros:

Great little room with AC and a TV. Showers and other facilities were very clean and easy to use. Roof top view was urban but quaint. The cafe was phenomenal and very nice prices, plus the free happy hour was cool. The staff were very polite and patient when trying to communicate.

Pros:

The front desk and lobby are very pretty. The private bedroom looks good upon entering. The unfortunate issue is the step down from the bathroom as it is elevated higher than the bedroom. There is no grip on the floor nor anything to grab when stepping down. Twisted my ankle when I stepped down the first night. The pillows also smelled like someone’s old sweat and the bed was very hard. Despite my partner and me liking hard beds. Otherwise it was an okay stay. A short walk to Nezu station as well.

Great value hostel in nice quiet area
Pros:

Very clean and well-run place; the dorm beds were comfortable and each had own power supply, light, large locker and curtain. Strong, hot showers and professional, helpful staff. Good A/C in dorms. Hairdryers available in bathrooms. Very good value breakfast at 1000yen. And of course, who could argue with an hour of free beer every night. Only about 15mins walk to Tokyo National Museum which was so good I spent 3 consecutive days there.

Pros:

The picture on the website is deceiving. It shows more room than we got. No place to put a suitcase or hang clothes. There were cockroaches spotted in my room.
Breakfast was good and staff excellent. I paid almost $200 a day, which was more than quoted. I’ll find another place next time for the amount I paid.

Pros:

Easy walk to Nezu Station. 10 minute cab ride to Ueno Station. Twin rooms are spacious, comfortable and nicely appointed with hair dryer, soaps, tea kettle and refrigerator. Great laundry facilities. Lots of little places to eat nearby but food in hotel delicious as well. Staff is helpful and speaks English.

Pros:

My stay at the Graphy Nezu was an excellent one. The staff understand English and are always willing to help. Their dining options aren’t large in number but they are delicious! Beds are hard by western standards so be prepared. I will happily be staying here again in the future!

This hostel was ok.

Pros:

Everything was wonderful. The staff spoke English quite well and were very accommodating. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We enjoyed the Happy Hour each evening. The rooms were comfortable even though smaller than what we are used to in America. We will definitely return on our next visit to Japan.

Pros:

This was my first trip to Tokyo, and I really enjoyed staying here. At first, I thought the location might be a bit far from the city center, but it was actually very easy and convenient to get here by subway. I didn’t feel any inconvenience at all.

There were many staff members, and everyone was very kind and helpful. I don’t speak Japanese, but there was a Korean-speaking staff member who kindly helped me in Korean, which made me feel very comfortable.

The food was consistently clean, fresh, and delicious. The prices were very reasonable, and the beer they serve in the evening was absolutely amazing — a perfect way to relax after a long day.

I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Tokyo. Thank you for the warm hospitality and great memories!

I liked the spacious lounge, cafe, and a small meditation/readingnook. Organized space for food and fridge use. Handy water dispenser. Friendly staff. Goodish food for breakfast. The kitchen utensils didn't look clean though, so didn't use them. Overall, will stay again.
