Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be compact — A few reviewers mention that private rooms are small. This is typical for budget hostels in Tokyo, but worth knowing if you have large luggage.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59. If your flight arrives late, you'll need to plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so it's not suitable for travellers with animals.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types list a shower but not a private bathroom, meaning you'll use shared facilities. This is standard for hostels but may not suit everyone.
