Reviews of Asakusa Ryokan Toukaisou Hostel - (1H)

22 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was a very nice clean hostel, with great showers, and we decided to stay there twice. They do have a bunch of sad notes everywhere, like 'we only store luggage until 3pm' but in reality they are very helpful when you ask them about things, including holding the luggage longer. They should really take down some of those signs... They do take a charge for late check out, and rumor had it that it started from 30 seconds after the stated checkout time, but don't know for sure as everybody was very punctual, perhaps because of the fee?We had an issue with one of the staff who actually stayed in one of the dorms and we had to complain about this, so hopefully this won't happen again, and it's not really the hostels fault either. Other than this, very helpful staff and very comfy beds! No curfew. Lots of cheap and good restaurants very close by.

Liked: The hostel was lovely and the staff was fantastic. It's located in a quiet area of Tokyo and close to the temples and lots of restaurants and coffee shops, but subway station is walking distance and has connections to everywhere you want to go. The guests were polite and very considerate, too. Lights were off at 11PM in the main area, which was a good thing for those who want to rest early. Definitely a value for money (in Tokyo, where everything is expensive). I'm in love with Tokyo, I'll come back, and will definitely stay here again.

14 November 2009 Rowan would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent hostel with lots of character. We had a blast there. The only issue was that it's not near a JR train station, so you have to pay 160yen each time you want to go and do something, but that's its only drawback. I'd definitely go back again

10 October 2009 DAVID would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel was easy to find and is near the subway. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and there is air conditioning. As long as I have future bookings before I leave here, they are willing to keep my large luggage while I make short trips around Japan. It is convenient to the airport which can be accessed through Uedo station two subway stops away.

Liked: The staff were lovely and really helpful. This hostel is very family oriented, which makes a nice quiet place to come back to at the end of a long day walking around the city. The communal area is a nice relaxing place to meet other travelers and share information - a great place to rejuvenate for the next day.

26 September 2009 Megan would recommend this property

Liked: Tucked in a quiet alley in Asakusa, which was a plus for me, I enjoyed being out of the loud bustle yet still be in Tokyo with nearby access to everything. Facilities are clean and very safe. Free internet is a plus. My roommates were loud and inconsiderate which was a bummer, but not the hostel's fault in any way.

Liked: It was located in a nice part of town, although quiet this added to the character of the place in that you in that it wasn't all party party party. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would certainly give this place a thumbs up for all those travelling on a budget but not wanting to give the comforts of home

19 August 2009 John would recommend this property

Liked: Very friendly staff. They were great when we were travelling round Japan since we were able to leave our main bags there which was a great help. A cosy place and the common room was good to meet other travellers. There was a genuine Japanese feel to the hostel. No breakfast but a kitchen was available and there was a Denny's just up the road. I'd definitely go back and would recommend it.

29 July 2009 Robert would recommend this property

Liked: Staff are friendly, speak english and glad to help.Theres a common room where you can meet others like i did and go out one night.Place is clean with showers and big beds.The general gist with Tokyo Hostels is that they are a bit far from Roppongi, Shinjuku and other main big night areas so location wasnt the best but still a top joint. Suggest booking a hotel if wanting to go out one night downtown, or pull an allnighter as trains close after 12/1ish in the morning and dont start till 5/6ish.

11 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean and comfortable accomodation with a variety of room options for differing prices. Staying in the dorms was cheaper and had slightly less privacy but was still comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and facilities were excellent. Very close to the train station although the train ride to Shibuya/Shinjuku took about half an hour (although it was on the right train line so no confusing switches were required). Overall an excellent stay and a very good experience.
