TOKYOEJOYINN-Higashinippori

My stay there was nothing short of a disaster. First of all the place is not safe. Doors are open 24 hours, reception is present in certain hours, at night no one is there. Anyone from the street can walk in and easily access even the luggage room. Passwords to the dorm doors do not change, once you know it you can easily come in and occupy any free bed, as happened in my case. My bed was occupied by a person not authorized. She just removed down the curtain (as there passwords too) and took the bed (photo). And this I believe is a common practice. I had to sleep on upper bed because the staff did not want to change the sheets, promising me that I could use the bottom bed the next day. When I came back the next day I saw the same mess as before. No one even thought of making the bed for me. So I had to sleep all nights on upper one. The staff don't care about the guests, not even sorry from their side. There is no proper common area, no kitchen or even basic access to tap drinking water. Although there is hot water from pot. There is only one (!) shower working 24 hours for the whole building. Shared bathrooms inside dorms open without even any partitions, so no privacy. Hostel is close to JR station. But about a 15 minute walk to the subway station. Place is totally overpriced for what they offer. Wouldn’t stay again!

For us it was a very good experience, it’s very near a subway station so we didn’t have to walk much! The room was clean, the only problem was that because the subway station is near your can hear everything and also we didn’t like that the laundry room was on the rooftop and due to bad weather we couldn’t use it.
