Having a curfew sucks, but I was really impressed by the staff and the lockers were big enough to fit all my stuff and then some. Beds are a bit hard and the pillow provided is a joke, but for some reason I really liked the place
Beds are hard. Pillow is not really a pillow at all, but the staff was really nice and accommodating and it was everything I was looking for

Lockdown curfew
Their curfew is crazy if you are a traveler do not recommend staying here.
Yes it is cheap but if you would like to go out or you have an early flight this is not the place for you.
Not a normal hostile...Don't recommend staying herdon't recommend staying here
Definitely not a normal hostile I'm used to staying in less you have small children and your elderly this is not the place for you they lock you in at 11 PM and turn off the Wi-Fi also can't use Wi-Fi in your room.
They also charge for everything.
I had booked this hostel without realising it was the same hostel I had stayed at on a school trip 4 years ago and I was pleasantly surprised as I was flooded with nostalgia of good times spent in seemingly the same room. The view of the skyline from the 18th level is magnificent both at night and day. The shower heads in the shared bathroom had really good pressure and reached the right temperature immediately resulting in very nice showers, shampoo and body wash also was supplied which was nice. Towels needed to be rented 200¥ each so bringing your own towel is advised as well as own tooth brush and paste etc. Staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone eager to stay in the Iidabashi station area as it is conveniently located a few minutes walk away!
