It was a decent Hostel. Only real problem was the air conditioning. The bunk beds are made out of wood so it’s like a sauna in your cubby especially if you’re right under the heater.

チェックイン対応をしてくれたスタッフの方は感じが良く、次移動待ちの滞在でしかありませんでしたが快適に利用出来ました。就寝場所も、イビキが賑やかな東欧に辟易していた身には静かで有り難かったです。 時間が遅かったので叶いませんでしたが、カフェメニューも楽しみたかったです。

It was close to the train and lots of food. The gym had a good amount of equipment but wa la too small, would be stumbling through a crowd in a hallway during busy hours. Massive bedbug infestation. Never been bitten so many times by any bug, I hoped that fresh sheets would help but it did not. 30 bites, would not recommend

The gym was definetely a big reason why I chose to stay at the Obi Hostel. I really appreciated being able to have some way to do some strength training whilst on Holidays.

Good location. Well run hostel
Good location next to multiple metro lines. I’ve been in dozens hostels, so have seen my fair share of what works and what doesn’t. Obi does most things correct. The one downside is that they do not have a kitchen / place to bring your own food to eat since they are also a cafe. So if you are the type to cook and eat at a hostel this is probably not for you. But they are across the street from a grocery store. -provides free towels, lockers include lock. -bathrooms not ensuite so prevents the stuffiness prevalent in a lot of other hostels. -showers and toilets are separate and individual. -showers include changing area. -beds offer great privacy with curtains and have a good amount of space relative to the number of guests per room. -washer/dryer on premise. -front desk is not 24/7, but are there for most of time. Staff are helpful.

The location was very good with the subway station located at just two minutes away, with a direct connection to the airports and downtown Tokyo. The hostel is very new and clean and has a great vibe with friendly staff. The room had very little space though to store bigger bags and suitcases. This would be my only remark. Other than that, I loved it and would stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Comparing with other backpacker hostel in Tokyo, their cleanses is not satisfying, with dust all over the bed, the poor ventilation of the toilet make the smell so strong throughout the whole door. Although the hostel has just been opened for 2 years, their facilities seems worked over a decade, nobody fix the broken shelf at the shower room, and take ages to have hot water. And most importantly, the security is unexpectedly low, you could just come in the hostel without any proof of residence, and go straight to the luggage storage to pick up whatever luggage at there.

Great stay
Cozy bed, convenient capsules, lockers, and really friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay. It’s just half a block from the nearest train station but in a quieter neighborhood just two stops from Tokyo station on both the subway and JR line.

Great place for a great price!
We had a pretty great time at Obi Hostel! The hostel itself is very central, with only a 15 minute walk from central Akihabara. The other guests in the dorm were always very quiet and respectful, and the beds and general area was always kept clean by the staff. It's not very "home-y" hostel, so to speak, as the lounge is also a café/restaurant. The guest kitchen was also way too small for more than one person to use at a time, so you there wasn't really a great way to interact with other guests. Otherwise I would definitly recommene Obi Hostel!

Fortunately the bed was ok, though it was noisy. The showers was also ok. They give you clean towels daily, so that was the best. The worst of all was the kitchen. It was ridiculously small, it couldn't fit more than 2 people. The real problem is that the only common area is the lounge in the first floor that is used as a cafe/bar, so you are not priority there, as long as you are not drinking there. So if you're not a customer of the bar you don't feel welcomed. At least the music was good.
