Asakusa Smile in , Japan

On arriving well before the stated time, we were aloud to checkin around 11am. We were sent to the new Bekan building a few minutes walk away which did seem a lot nicer than the original building. The 8 bed dorm was relatively clean, the only down side to room is lack of power outlets, only 3 for the whole room. There is also only one shower for the entire building, which didn't look like it had been cleaned in a while, but we never had a problem getting in there when we needed to.

The convenient location and price of this hostel is fantastic.There is so much to do and see in the area, and other areas are easily accessible by the Ginza line.The room, bathroom, kitchen, and dining area were kept clean and the wifi was great.The shower room in the new building is huge and clean.If you want to experience Tokyo on a budget, this is the hostel for you.

Overall good hostel. A bit isolated, but a short 10-15 walk will bring you to the Tokyo SkyTree, the Ginza subway line and Asakusa cultural area. Facilities were adequate but not the best. The heating and AC units are brand new. The mattresses are terrible to sleep on, way to thin. Bring flip flops for the shower. Big windows in rooms are nice. The bar downstairs is probably the best part of this place as it seat roughly 30 people. Kitchen and computer area are small, but adequate. kiel, from Canada ~ 2nd Jan 2013

security- since the receptionist doesn't overview the 2 entrances, and the door at other entrance is always opened. location - quite convenient for travelers staff - the only staff is the receiptionist who is not friendly. generally speaking Japanese are friendly. fun - no fun at all no place for hang around with other travelers cleanliness - generally good value for money - no comment facilites - inadequate facilities especially inadequate inthe kitchen character - I don't feel Asakusa a Christabel, from Hong Kong ~ 23rd Dec 2012

the worst hostel where I stayed. The only good thing is that the room was spacious and location is OK. We found cockroaches!!!!Beds: worst impossible, super super thin mattresses, the bunk beds were old and sounded and moved a lot when someone climbed into the top bunk. The WiFi did not reach all rooms and computers incomon areas worked really bad. The people was not the kind you usually find in a backpacker's hostel....some stuffs from our bags in the closet were dissapeared. aranzazu, from Spain ~ 26th Oct 2012
