God even with kids
We stayed for 2 nights in the private room- 2 kids (14 and 17) and w adults. Common area with kitchen was great, we could warm up food.
Coffee pot would be a good addition, there is 7 eleven across the street with coffee so was mot so bad.

This is the first time I stayed in dorm-style place. I am definitely not going to opt for this experience again. I had heard good things about the social aspects of staying at a place like this, but I am not sure if I would forego the benefits of privacy and a good night of sleep over that in the future.
The staff was helpful and friendly. But the bathrooms were not that clean, plus you have to deal with snoring roommates at night!

Absolutely great hostel.
Absolutely great hostel.
Very well-maintained and clean place.
Rooms, Toilets and Showers are well cleaned.
Hostel is very easy to find from the nearby train station and located in the Shinjuku area so you can enjoy your nightlight in Shinjuku and still walk back to the hostel without needing of train.
Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
Totally worth it.
Thanks,

The beds were comfortable and I loved the hanger rod/cubbies to put our stuff. Bathrooms and showers were clean! Common area had what you needed. Staff were there to help when i needed!
I was in a mixed dorm and it did smell like feet but that's understandable since everyone walks all day, every day. They had an air purifier and would open the windows during the day but I'm thinking a place to store shoes or another purifier would be good.
It's also a decent place to meet people but you need to be willing to strike up a conversation with strangers in the common areas if you want to do so. There's a few other hostels in the area so it'd be cool if they partner with them for day-time walking bar crawl tours. Those types of things tend to get people mingling. Or maybe just some sort of sign-up board for people who are interested in doing things with others.
I'd definitely stay again!
