We stayed in this hostel for 4 nights, in a shared room and common restrooms. At first we were apprehensive, but after staying for one night, we loved the place. It is a home away from home. The sketch showing the location of the place was also very accurate and helpful. The rooms and restrooms were very clean. They also... More

I stayed in this hostel alone for 2 nights. It's not so close from the subway and if you wanna fully exploit your Japan Rail Pass, Asakusa might not be the right place to stay because there's no JR station around. Anyway, if you wanna see Asakusa and surroundings, it's a convenient place. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and... More

I have just stayed here for 5 nights and have to say it is the worst hostel I have stayed in (I have stayed in many). If you want to stay in a place that is huge, institutional and do not want to meet many people then stay here!! Otherwise I would choose elsewhere. Basically I checked in and did... More

The location and condition of the hostel is great. We stayed on two separate occasions and the staff was helpful. They do have a security problem in the area where you are allowed to store your bags if you arrive before check in. They have keyed safe lockers that they discourage you from using by inferring that the nominal cost... More

Excellent stay at Sakura Hostel Asakusa. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds, helpful staff, and location is close to sights and multiple metro stations heading in different areas so an excellent choice for a hub. Price of hostel is also very good for the value of services and amenities provided. Also grocery store within a two minute walk (reduced sushi prices... More

The walk to the hostel takes 5 mins right through the gardens of the sensoji temple, my mouth was open all the... More

This hostel was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I chose it. It is in a great location just around the block from the famous Senso-ji Temple and easy access from train stations. They even had a nabe party while I was there and it was very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would defiantly... More

TL:DR - great location, next to temple,5 mins from station, lots of restaraunts etc. - friendly, multilingual staff - clean and solid facilities - rooms are cozy - lounge and reception stays open 24hrs - Overall: definitely stay here if you're travelling to Japan. More in-depth and pretentious: Atmosphere: There is a very cozy and homey feel to this hostel.... More

Its very easy to find, has free Internet, a friendly communal mess hall in the reception full of brocures and leaflets to give you some trip ideas, good cooking facilities and clean modern showers on every floor. I have stayed in a mixed dorm each time I've visited and always found there to be a good atmosphere in them, you... More
