&AND HOSTEL KURAMAE west

Guests who stayed here loved

“We loved the location - Kuramae is a quiet but homey neighbourhood, great cafés and very well connected but away from the chaos. There are very convenience stores (Lawson, Family Mart) nearby as well as various metro stops within 10 mins walk. Also very close to Asakusa and many tourist spots - can reach on foot. The shared showers and toilets were very clean and we never had to wait to use one. There was a sink in each room. Hairdryers, toiletries provided in each shared toilet cubicle. Rules against using hairdryers and general noise post 11pm was appreciated for a good sleep. There was a common area downstairs with a shared fridge and table seats to eat and chill. Free tea and instant coffee, a microwave. We booked this hostel as it was the cheapest we could find in Tokyo for our dates, but even so we paid £65 per night for a small double room which isn’t a “budget” option and is expensive for the facilities. The double bedrooms are very small for two people with luggage, as there’s zero storage. 80% of the floor space is taken up by the mattress on the floor. We are backpackers so we travel quite light but we still had no room for our stuff and the room got a bit cramped and messy. The window only has a very flimsy curtain, no blind or anything so it’s incredibly bright making it difficult to sleep post 5am (we had to use eye masks). When we went into our room it stank really badly of damp, there was a dehumidifier in the room but it turned out the smell was actually coming from the dehumidifier itself so we had to turn it off - maybe the filter needed changing? The room needs a few more storage options, even shelves or more hooks on the walls. It also would’ve been good to have a fridge in the room.”
