During my 3 week trip to Japan I've stayed at four different hotels in the Khaosan Group, Three in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. This hostel is the oldest in the Group (the original) and has a great location near transport hub Asakusa, Senso-ji temple, Sumo museum, shops, restaurants and you name it. The facilities are a bit worn and... More

The room is small especially for twin room but the location is truly excellent. It is very near to 3 lines (Asakusa Line, Ginza Line and Tobu Nikko Lines). From subway, only 3 stops to Ueno Park, and only 2 stops to Tokyo Sky Tree. Also, walkable to Sumida Park and Ferry terminal for Himiko water bus. Sensoji temple is... More

I stayed here for 7 nights in a 4-bed mixed dorm room in December. The location is excellent, right next to the Sumida River and close to the Asakusa train station (junction for two different lines). It was very easy to get to places from this hostel. Bike hire for 200 yen per day nearby was also excellent value. The... More

We touched down into Japan ahead of time for our check in time but the staff were most accommodating and helpful. We had stayed at the Khaosan Annex and although this one is smaller, it makes up for the location as it’s right around the corner from the trainlines and Sensoji Temple. We hired a private double room, which consisted... More

This hostel was wonderful. My boyfriend and i had a private twin room which was very small- once our bags were on the floor there is no space to step! But besides that it was great, VERY clean and safe. The social area (kitchen and lounge) was small but cosy, due to this we met some very nice people. The... More

Was very shocked to find that we booked the wrong Khaosan in Tokyo...It was get very confusing on the website but nonetheless, it was their fault for my lack of knowledge. At the end of the stay I was very content and got very used to it. Internet was super fast and very good and the location is fantastic!
