Bar and jam music, can smoke too. Ambiance and price very nice. Koenji wonderful for music, ambiance and party. Cheaper than other place in Tokyo. Go go !

− Nothing

安さの一方で、快適に寝て疲れを取るにはイマイチ。

安い。 高円寺駅、新高円寺駅どちらも徒歩圏内。 スーパーも近い。 トイレはわりと綺麗。

− 階段が狭くて急。電気機器のタコ足配線が気になった。 ベッドの上の段は高さが無さすぎた。 3階はwifiがほぼ使えなかった。

快適

The location

− Don’t go there : the owner is very strange and entered my room in the middle of the night. I stayed there for 5 nights. On the second night, I had drinks with the owner and some Japanese guests at the bar, which was actually really fun. The next day, I didn’t see him. The day after, I greeted him, but to my surprise, he didn’t respond and seemed annoyed. I assumed it was because he was cleaning the hostel, which, by the way, was very dirty (lots of hair in the shower and humidity everywhere). So I thought, “Okay, maybe he just doesn’t like cleaning and is in a bad mood.” At 11 p.m., he was still cleaning and making a lot of noise next to my room. Since I hadn’t slept at all the night before due to jet lag, I politely asked him how much longer it would take. He just replied “cleaning” in an annoyed tone, so I understood he didn’t want to talk. I went back to sleep, and this is where things got really bad. I was alone in the room (actually, I was alone in the whole hostel!), and around 3 a.m., he entered the room without warning to change all the beds. This was extremely weird and made me feel very unsafe. I asked him what he was doing, and again, he just muttered something without really answering, almost aggressively. It felt very intrusive and unsettling. I’ve never experienced anything like this before in a hostel. The next morning, I immediately looked for another place and left as soon as possible. I lost money, but I just wanted to enjoy my holiday. At that point, it wasn’t even about sleep anymore, it was about feeling safe and respected as a guest. Summary: It might go well if the owner is in a good mood (and if you can tolerate the lack of cleanliness), but it can quickly turn into a very uncomfortable experience if his mood changes, like it did for me.
