Tokyo Hikari Guesthouse - Hostel

The property was so clean and very near a train station. None!

Location, owner behavior, facilities, clean

Very comfortable beds - pillows and duvet are very nice. Also has a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Met some other friendly travellers. Isa is a very kind host as well! It was fabulous- good location too. Nothing bad.

Excellent! The owner is so kind and gentle , he made sure every guest feel like home , he helped everyone, I was late for checked in even in the middle of night because of my delayed flight, I texted him he replied very generously he gonna wait until I come even though reception close at 11 pm. Very well maintained hostel run by the nice family . Recommended Everything,

Location, convenience, staff

Clean family-run hostel that was close to the metro station. The hostel was well set up with a small kitchen, dining area and ability to wash and dry clothing. No issues! Would stay again!

The location, decoration, efficiency of the design and organization all made for a great stay. Free coffee and snacks made it feel homey. Clean and tidy. Responsiveness to my messages made my organizing my luggage delivery and arrival smooth and easy. I also met other nice solo travelers. The women’s dorm is quite crowded and got a bit stuffy at night. It would have been more comfortable to have a white noise machine and air purifier running at night.

The location of the homestay is perfect and accessible across multiple stations. There's also a nearby convenience store, multiple cafes and restaurants around there area. The overall vibe of the place is very homey and warm. I really like the look and style of the place. It reminds me of home. I stayed at the girls dormitory and was comfortable with my bed. It's honestly the most comfortable bed I have slept in a hostel/homestay. The pillow and blanket is very soft. I miss it! There's also curtains around the bed for privacy. The host is also very easy to talk to. They can speak English and I was thankful that they granted my request to have the lower bunk bed. I was also able to leave my luggage before and after checkout. Lack of breakfast options around the area except for convenience store. The wash area is located at the entrance so it's a bit awkward whenever you're brushing your teeth and people come/go and see you there. Sometimes, the wifi doesn't work or loose connection. There's only one shower at the ground floor so there are times when you might need to wait for your turn. Also, the hair dryer doesn't dry my hair fast enough. Lastly, some people doesn't follow the 11pm quiet hours (the owner did inform me to tell him if some people are not following the rules) as they kept on fixing and repacking their things. It bothered me at first but the earplugs definitely helped a me to sleep during these times.

I love the hospitality and warmth and the owner are so kind and accomodating! Loving the experience will be back in the future!

Excellent stay! Best stay I've had in Tokyo. The hosts - Isa and his wife Yumiko - are very welcoming. I will stay at this place the next time I go to Tokyo. This felt like a very cozy place to go back to, and the area around it is great. Very short walk to the station. Walking distance to several great restaurants. Isa gives you an excellent map on check in that was a great introduction the area and enhanced my visit. I thought the beds were quite comfortable and after a month of living hostels, I had the best sleep of my trip here. Sure, it's not soundproof because of the wood but that's Tokyo for you. I put on a white noise machine and slept very well. When you're going to the shower on the bottom floor, you have to walk past the common area when you're done. It was only busy one night but the showers on the second floor were always available, it seemed. The stairs to go up to the second floor are a tad narrow, but that's the city. I stayed in September and I remember the downstairs common area only being a little too warm for just once, but it was still comfortable and I enjoyed spending time there. I can't say enough great things about this place.

I absolutely loved my stay here. The hospitality was unmatched, and it was such a wonderful start to my Japan trip to be so welcomed into their home. The community that they've fostered in this space is incredible.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Great location. Very clean. Free coffee, tea, mandarin or nuts in the morning. Free laundry. Clean. Nice residential location. It felt over priced for what it is in comparison to other properties.

Very clean Spacious beds Cute common room Quiet area It is a little far from shibuya - for me that was perfect! No need to be close to the chaos, you can take the subway.

It is very clean and the room feels comfy. I like the feel-like-home common area which allows us to sit, offers free coffee & tea & some local snacks. It has laundry & drying facilities. I can feel the passion of guesthouse owner from the nicely printed map which recommends nearby places to see & restaurants. Location is superb, the bus stop is just a few meter away and a few metro stations are also within a few minutes walk. I love the walk from the guest house through the neighbourhood to the Sumida Parks. Can't think of any

The host Isa was very nice and helpful! Some of the other patrons were very noisy during the quiet hours - nothing to do with the guesthouse though
