Find 1-Star Hotels in Tokyo

I really love this place. Location: Not far from Ikebukuro, you need to take the Tobu-Tojo line, but it is near the station, only a 3-min walk. Cleanliness: Overall it is clean, but there is always a smell on the first floor, but it still doesn’t bother me! Service: Really the best. I really love the staff here. I talk to Rio, who was the reception for my April stay he really has an impressive level of English, and he explains so well! I would love to chat with him again! Also thanks, Nana, for keeping my luggage, and Anna, who is really bright and fluent in Japanese and English! Amenity: I really love the basement here; there’s space for everyone. That's why I always choose this hostel. Even if the price is sometimes higher than other places, the staff always cleans the plate for you. The bin is too little for the amount of trash lol. I recommend here! I leave the room to improve a bit for cleanliness, but this place is still clean! I hope next time I can give you 10/10

I booked a male-only floor, but it turned out to be mixed-gender. The hygiene was excellent, and the location was pretty good. The only slight drawback was that the showers weren't on the same floor, and they didn't provide free disposable slippers or toothbrushes. Other than that, there were no real issues, and it offered good value for money. It's located in a residential area, so it's a bit of a walk from the station. The picture is of the hostel's rooftop – no balcony, but you can see the Skytree from the external stairs. Downstairs, there are washing machines, manga, and paid coffee available, which is nice.

Everything was great, except for the price. It might be because of Golden Week; I'm not sure what the rates are like on regular weekdays. The location is excellent, with three convenience stores nearby, as well as Ichiran, Torikizoku, and Jonathan's. Just a heads-up, it's technically closer to Shinjuku-Nishi-guchi (Shinjuku West Exit) subway station. If you arrive at Shinjuku Station via the JR Yamanote Line or Narita Express, I recommend walking towards Shinjuku-Nishi-guchi subway station and taking exit 5 – the hotel will be right across the street.

This is a very good room, close to major attractions. You can easily walk to go shopping, take photos, and there are many delicious and affordable restaurants open 24 hours. The subway is conveniently accessible. The room itself is quite small but clean and secure with a good key card system.

They have a nice bathhouse in the basement. Capsules do feel a bit small. Lockers are small, but you can put your stuff in your capsule or outside of it. Would book again, it's an authentic Japanese experience.

It seemed that we were the only couple staying in the house a few days ago, so it was very quiet and felt very good. After a few couples came in the next two days, the house became noisy. People came and went in the morning and evening, and the corridors in the rooms were very crowded, so the experience was down, otherwise it would be a perfect score, although the washing machine and dryer cost money and were very noisy. The staff was very enthusiastic and allowed to store luggage in advance. The house was not in the main building, but in a corner ten meters away from the next door. The house is located as shown in the picture. The recommended index is full in the off-season, and it is halved in the peak season.

It feels like there are lots of beds in one big room. It's incredibly dusty. The location is good. There's practically no privacy.

I really enjoyed this hotel. This was my first time in a capsule hotel, and it is better than the common western hostels. More privacy, better luxury. I enjoyed the bathroom and the amenities (slippers, bathrobe). My favourite thing about this hotel was its 70-80s style. There were still old telephones, old capsules and elevators from 40 years ago throughout the building. I really appreciated that, since I am especially interested in Japanese history during that period (the boom). Last but not least, I also noticed then good connection to the city center (about 1 hour by metro to the castle) and its proximity to the Tokyo Skytree (only a few stations).

The place was very good for solo travellers and also family. You can meet with many people from different counties. The staff was very cheerful and helpful. I will definitely suggest the hotel to my family and friends. I will definitely book again in the future if i am traveling in tokyo again.

Walked here after visiting Sakurazaka National, and carrying a big backpack made the distance feel quite long 😂. Before checking in, you have to read the instructions yourself and then fill out a form. It seemed like there were more Japanese guests during the concert period. Showers are in the basement and require coins, but the innermost one doesn't. People who are sensitive about hygiene might find it a bit off-putting because the mat at the shower room entrance was soaking wet (perhaps due to peak hours). I stayed in a mixed dorm, and I felt the toilets were older compared to previous hostels I've stayed in, showing signs of age (and there didn't seem to be any disinfectant...). The sinks were similar. I'm a girl, but I'm not fussy, especially since this is the closest and cheapest accommodation to the National. All in all, it's okay. The hygiene was slightly worse than places I've stayed before, but it's tolerable 🫱
