plat hostel keikyu asakusa karin — Hotel in Tokyo

Friendly, helpful staff, maybe the top hostel staff in Japan. Appreciated the complimentary coffee and green tea. Handy laundry facilities and some basic kitchen facilities. Would definitely stay here again.||||Location just okay. WiFi was sometimes disappointing from both dorm and ground floor lounge. Could be slow with dropped connections, didn’t matter time of day or if the hostel was full or empty.||||Nearly constant noise from peeps checking into and out of 12-bed cramped dorm here which was usually full or near capacity during my 11-night stay in September. Might help to post ‘Please Be Quiet After 10 PM’ or ‘Quiet Hours 10pm to 7am’ signs like other hostels. Public/common space amenities are very basic — could use a furniture upgrade. Staff also needs training on correct location of emergency exit and procedure to deploy emergency ladder. Emergency Exit info needs to be provided and acknowledged by all guests checking into...

I love this hostel very much till the extent i wanted to come back japan and stay here more. Partly because this hostel is conveniently located in 5-10 min walk to asakusa station where can directly linked to narita airport via narita sky access line without changing station or transit and also directly linked to shibuya (from one end to another end on Ginza line). I was welcomed by receptionist upon arrival. She explained everything about hostel. And having nice gesture. I booked twin room which comes in a bunk bed in a private room with own toilet while the shower room is shared with other units. There are bathroom and powder room at 3rd floor (for ladies make up or hair drying usage). Smoking is available at Rooftop with nice view of the skytree tower. At ground floor where the reception is, there is kitchen which can be used. It is full of kitchen equipments. Definitely...
