8/10 Very good

This property is very well maintained, and Isa and his family are gracious hosts. The rooms can get a bit loud at night when all bunks are full, though, and the two showers were often occupied at peak hours (morning and before bed). Also, there’s construction going on outside the women’s sleeping area, so it can be a bit noisy in the daytime. The space was lovely, though, and very close to public transit, including a train that goes directly to Narita airport. It was also in a very nice neighborhood close to Asakusa. Would recommend this place for those who are heavy sleepers.

Amazing Stay, Can't wait to come back!
I loved this guesthouse so much I booked another 3 nights right when I arrived. Everything is so quaint and clean. It is easy to get into the city but far enough away that you can relax and soak in the small town vibes. Highly Reccomend

Wonderful spot in Asakusa.
Isa and his family are wonderful. They make you feel at home. Isa had a nice map with tons of local places for food, grocery, bars, ect. Very helpful. I enjoyed my morning coffee by the river which is a short walk.

今まで泊まった中で。NO1のゲストハウス!!!
浅草線の蔵前駅から1分でした。又、東京駅八重洲口から出る東京都のバス(バス停12番)に乗ると、約15分位で、ゲストハウスのすぐそばのバス停(蔵前2丁目)に着き、荷物がある時など、本当に便利でした。周辺には、美味しいマフィン屋さん、デザイナーさんの雑貨ショップ、アクセサリーのパーツを扱うお店や、包装資材、アートフラワーショップなどがあり、女性陣には、とてもうれしい立地です。もちろん飲食店も充実。 毎朝、オーナーの奥さんの手作りのスープ(しかも有機野菜を使った薄味)が置いてあったり、1杯ずつ飲める本格ドリップコーヒーやいろんな種類のお茶、おせんべい等のはいいた駄菓子屋さんのお菓子入れ・・・どれも無料でいただけます。こんなあたたかなサービスのゲストハウスは、めったにないかも・・・。調味料や調理器具も揃っていて、自炊したい人にもぴったり! しかも、洗剤も調味料も、自然派のオーナー一家が実際使っている物ばかり。敏感肌の私にはとてもありがたいことでした。 ドミトリーのベットは少し広めで、作りがしっかりしているので、他の人が動いても、きしんだり、物音が気になることはありませんでした。各ベットには、可愛いカーテンが付いているので、個室感が味わえます。 感心するのは、静かで落ち着いた、素敵なお客さんが多いこと。オーナーご夫婦のお人柄でしょうね。何度かお世話になっていますが、日本人の方も海外の方も、知的で感じのいい方が多い気がします。知人にはぜひお勧めしたい宿です。

숙소가 되게 아기자기하게 꾸며져있고, 일단 깨끗하고 조용해서 좋았다. 가족이 운영하는 곳이여서 분위기가 좋다. 그리고 주인분이신 이사상이 되게 친절하셨다.

大通りを2本またぐので遠く感じますが・・・。
施設を中心に、上野、御徒町、浅草、スカイツリーと健脚を活かせば歩ける場所に位置しとても便利な場所です。連泊で東京を楽しみたい人にはふと息を抜きたい時間をくれる場所です。ドミトリーのベットも建て付けがしっかりしていますので、寝返りなどで軋む音もそんなに気にならないと感じました。銭湯めぐりが好きで銭湯も紹介してもらいましたが、広い道を2本程またぐので行きは遠く感じますが、10〜15分で着きます。清潔な感じの銭湯で東京にしては湯温もそんなに高くなく、気持ちよく入れます。残念なことに牛乳とマッサージ機(体重計とあわせて銭湯にある三種の神 器)はありません。朝夕、オーナーと少しの会話を交わして1日の始まり・終わりにされましたら、幸せなひと時を過ごせること必至、いい旅が始まりますよ。

도쿄 여행시 저렴 + 위치 굿
사장님 참 친절하십니다. 주위 저렴하게 먹을 곳도 많고 위치 상으로 나리타에서 한방에 숙소로 점프 가능, 주위 명소 또한 지하철로 몇 정거장 내외이므로 오다이바와 나리타 공항 왕복을 제외하면 웬만해선 패스 하나로 소화 가능. 숙소가 심하게 조용한 편이라 혼자 조용한 여행을 즐기러 가는 사람들에게 적극 추천, 가장 중요한건 재방문 의사인데 저렴 투어로 간다고 하면 재방문 의사 있음! 돈많은 럭셔리들은 그냥 호텔 가라!
