A16HOSTELTOKYO - Hostel

Staff were approachable and considerate.

I loved A16. It is an ideal spot to start a trip to Tokyo. It was very easy to get to, coming from Narita Airport and there are LOTS of good, cheap dining options within a very short walk. While not necessarily the closest place to tourist spots, it is very close to Asakusa-bashi train station, making it very easy to get around Tokyo. The surrounding area is foot traffic friendly and there's plenty to see, (the entire suburb is sprinkled with bead/ jewellery making supply shops which was a delight, and food shops galore) plus it's a short walk and even shorter train trip to Akihabara station which is an eclectic shock to the senses. (I highly recommend following the overhead railway on foot to Akihabara Station to get a look around the area. The staff were incredibly helpful and fun to talk to and there is a fun social vibe to the hostel. Definitely a good place to meet people. There's a kettle, microwave and fridge for tea and coffee/ heating up food too, and a list of recommendations for places to eat in the area stuck to the fridge. I found the doom room pleasant though some complained about noisy neighbours. I think it comes down to whether you get someone next to you leaving at 6am and rustling their luggage etc. but that's the nature of hostels. They do provide ear plugs in the lobby. I would definitely stay here again.

良かった点 ・駅近便利 ・施設自体が新しい ・受付に人が居る ・共用部にレンジ、トースター、電気ケトル、食器などひととおり揃っている ・コーヒー、紅茶のドリンクコーナーがセルフで利用できる ・注意書きなどに日本らしい細やかな配慮が感じられた(国内外200ヶ所近くのホステルで宿泊経験あり) 気になった点 ・とにかく狭い １つの部屋に出来るだけ多くのベッドを配置したような設計、各自が荷物を広げるタイミングが重なると歩く場所が無くなる ・ベットと壁の隙間のホコリの塊 外部から持ち込まれる害虫の件が心配 その他 ・窓際のベッドだったこともあり、道路の向かいを走る電車の騒音は確かにすごいが、室内で通話する人の声の方が気になると感じた感じ方は人によると思う ・部屋内に鍵付きのロッカーが無いので、大きな荷物は何かしら対策が必要

浅草橋駅から徒歩3分程度のローバジェットなホステルです。 東京の下町をフィールドワークするのに最適な場所です。 バックパッカーやヤングツーリスト向きなホステルです。

気さくなスタッフと清掃の行き届いた施設内、客層の良さなどオススメの施設です。
