Hostel Jaz

Located near Ueno Subway Station and Sensoji Temple Kaminarimon, the accommodation provides clean facilities and excellent service. Staff cater well to backpackers and short-term travelers.

This hostel is beautiful, I absolutely love the down stairs common area! The sleeping rooms and bathrooms were very cosy and clean. Sadly, staying with so many people in the same room obviously has its down sides. I'm usually a very deep sleeper, but I barely got any sleep because my bed was right across the lockers and people would be opening their suitcases and packing right in front of my bed- unfortunately, at crazy times like 1am-4am. Once one person finished and went to sleep, another one would immediately start again. It almost drove me insane. That being said, I do not put that fault on the hostel or their staff, but I would recommend re-enforcing the rule that everyone should be quiet during the night. The location is alright if you don't mind walking a little while to get to a metro station (not super practical if you're walking with lots of luggage). There are several convenience stores nearby, and on the way to public transport which was quite practical. The staff was very sweet and super helpful! Because of how noisy it was in the rooms, I don't know if I would stay here again, but I would definitely consider it!
