8.8Verified guest“The room was clean and practical, with a simple tatami floor and private bathroom. Wi-Fi was surprisingly dependable – better than most hostels I've used. Free tea and miso were a nice touch. Location was convenient, with 7/11, Family Mart, and Lawson right across the street, and a short walk to the JR Yushima line and Akiba. Staff were friendly, spoke English, and always helped. Honestly, nothing to fault.”

8.8Verified guest“My stay at the recently renewed Ueno Youth Hostel was great. The location was perfect – just a short walk to the train station and metro. Staff were friendly and helpful, giving me a map and printing directions. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom clean. Wi-Fi had minor issues, but I enjoyed the lounge. Convenient amenities like a fridge and water boiler on each floor. I highly recommend it for a budget stay in Tokyo.”
