Guest House Tokyo Kagurazaka — Hotel in Tokyo

Definitely a great place, no matter you need to stay short term for a few weeks or longer period of time like several months.

If you care a lot about comfort and privacy this might not be the best place for you, since it's obviously not a hotel. But if you don't mind about that much, for the price you pay you get a decent bed to sleep and enough space for all your stuff. There is also a big living room with a kitchen and a rooftop for laundry.

Its in one of the best locations in Tokyo, Kagurazaka, in a very quiet and fancy district of Tokyo from where you can go to most of the popular areas, like Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, Akihabara and Tokyo Station on metro in just 15~20 minutes.

Aside that, the best part about Guesthouse Tokyo it's the owner, the staff and the people living there that are very friendly and helpful. So if you arrived in Tokyo and don't know many people there you will probably make many friends amongst the residents, no matter where are you from.

They also organise many events all around the year that make easier to get to know and enjoy the Japanese culture and traditions.

I was living there for 1 year and a half and I had an amazing experience and make many good friends. So I totally recommend it for anyone who is looking for...

Great option for budget travelers: It has all you need and the staff is very nice and super helpful. If you are going to Coto language school, the school is less than 5 minutes away from the Kagurazaka subway station, and you can walk to Iidabashi in about 10-15 minutes, through streets with little traffic that are packed with little shops, French bakeries and all kinds of restaurants. There are several convenience stores close to the guest house where you can get ready-made meals to heat up in the guest house kitchen. The guest house has large living room with kitchen, kosatsu, tv and computer, and if you're looking for company, there's always someone in the living room, nearly around the clock. If you arrive in the middle of winter, be prepared that it can be a bit chilly in the dorm depending on which bed you get. Since warm air tends to move up, the upper beds are naturally warmer than the lower ones. My travel alarm clock displays the room temperature and on the colder days, it showed between 13.5 to 15 degree Celsius in the morning in a lower bed close to a wall. It's also a good idea to bring a warm bathrobe because the shower boxes are on...

for what we pay, its definitely worth it i'd say. it was more of a small community rather than a guest house. some people who've been living here for over seven years and some who stay for a month or two. I chose this place simply because it was literally right next to my office and we usually work pretty late. so i didnt have to bother about the last train. one downside was that the building didnt have an elevator. carrying the bags in that narrow staircase would be a little difficult. luckily i stayed on the first floor but that meant i couldnt go to the kitchen/living room quite often since it was in the 5th floor.

i had a good two months here. value for money. friendly staff. next to...
