This place is absolutely disgusting! It is far far from clean. The bathrooms smell like urine and the mildew on the walls is reclaiming them. I don't mind the location, I don't mind the poor directions given to find the place, I don't mind the down-and-out neighborhood, but to endure all of that and to find out that the place... more

Bearable... Rooms are like 3x1x2 boxes but clean enough to survive... Basic facilities (wash-machine, dryer, internet, vending machines) are available. The only thing is that one shouldn't leave things unattended outside the room. My towel was stolen being forgotten for 5 min in the shower room. more

Didn't know what to expect from this place (very mixed reviews) but it turned out to be fine. Sure the doors are a little rusty, but I mean for the amount you are paying (4800 yen for a double) it's pretty good. Like most places in Japan, it's clean. It's got free internet, but there is usually someone using it.... more

We stayed for 5 nights in New Koyo - the worst thing about it was the unisex toilets and the beanbag pillows. Oh, and only 2 showers. (although I never had a problem getting one). The hostel is located 3 stops off the Yamanote line (and it's on the subway lines too for non-JR pass holders). Sure, the area isn't... more

Room in this place is very small, but it worked. Compare to the dormitory beds, I could sleep very well. And the price is incredibly cheap. Actually, it was same price of dormitory beds price where I stayed during my trip in Japan. good value. more

I've been to Tokyo Three times now and have stayed at New Koyo everytime. Okay so some people may not like it because of the area its located as many people say there are homeless people but big deal there are homeless people everywhere in the world and its not exactly like your staying in Minowa for your vacation. The... more

I loved staying at the New Koyo hostel! I was a student on a budget, but am not a dorm-style person. All the rooms in New Koyo are private, and comes with a TV - at a really good price for Tokyo! Rooms are all air-conditioned although not usually switched on. So it does get very hot in summer. The... more

I stayed on New Koyo for 3 days only, and i moved out equaly fast. The "air condtion" was broke, and i was in jetlag too, the "lobby" was closed and the so called internet acces was a Joke. I oculd not sleep due of the hot weather. The interioir of the Hotel was worn down. the staff there did... more

Well the New Koyo was by far the best and cheapest option for a single room in Tokyo. Rooms are small, just enought room to unfold the bed, and then have your packpack next to it (I had a medium japanese room). Air conditioning, lack of! well theres no stand alone air con in each room, its ducted through the... more
