Reviews of 1 Night 1980 Hostel Tokyo Asakusa Simple Stay 1 stars

The location and price was good.

Beds are as hard as floorboards I was woken up at 2am by a staff member changing the plastic liners in the bins. Why can’t this be during the day! It was a bit stuffy in the capsule due to low air flow. The place could do with serious renovation

Excellent value for money for the price you paid if you just need somewhere to rest after a day exploring Tokyo. The staff are corteus and nice. One thing which I didn’t like is you have to pay for basic things like body soap, shampoo and conditioner which they supposed to provide but it’s okay, I guess it’s because of the cost of running a business and to make their prices competitive. Thanks for the experuence and will definitely stay again in the near future when I visit Tokyo again.

Pay for basic things. No refrigerator. The mattress is so thin which gave me lower back pain and pillows are low and provided only. Overall it’s okay and close to Tokyo Metro Subway(Iriya Station)

I liked the location of the property. It was less than 20 minutes from the nearest JR station and just over 10 minutes from the nearest metro station too. I liked that I was provided a private locker space with key to store my belongings. Being given fresh hand towels everyday was also appreciated.

The hotel had a no shoes policy so every time I entered or left I would need to use and then discard cheap room slippers. It was a small thing but it was an additional step that sometimes felt a little inconvenient. I had one issue with a provided pillowcase that was dirty(it look like dried blood perhaps?). It got changed promptly however.

The staff was very kind and helpful, plus the cost was wonderfully affordable! The number of amenities was good, too. It had almost everything you could want~ The showers for the female dorm were always available and the water was piping hot! They even had a full size fridge in the room for all of us to share! The storage lockers were probably the best part, along with the amount of privacy; despite there being so many women in the same room. The common room was spacious, albeit a bit stuffy and hot. I liked the setup!

Central city noise made it impossible to sleep without ear plugs and there weren't any kitchen facilities... Lights were also on until almost 2am some nights... but that's more of a personal problem, since I'm hypersensitive to noise and lighting. Other than those small things, I had a really nice stay. Although, it was a bit of walk to get to any of the sights, which is fine in cooler months but hard on the body in the summer.

Friendly bilingual staff, clean beds and capsules, much space for stuff in locked areas

the mattress was slightly too hard for my liking, but it was not a big problem.

Clean Close to bus/subway stations Lots of restaurants nearby Good enough for the fee you pay

A bit noisy at sleeping time by other guests entering/getting out of the corridor and checking their luggage rooms

Location is very close to Ueno and Akihabara station so easy to access the shinkansen. Very quiet as it was mainly all Japanese clientele during my stay. Showers get hot quickly and there’s a rooftop area you can view the surrounding area.

Can sometimes get a little chilly at night even with the provided blankets but that’s not bad

Very near Ueno museums. Seems mostly Japanese locals staying there, plus a few tourists. Large common room for eating/working. No kitchen; just microwave and water boiler. Large luggage lockers away from the beds helps limit noise at night.

The many unnecessary rules and strict, convoluted processes do give things a bit of a prison vibe. There's AC but it's still a little hot at night. Mattress is paper-thin; my back started hurting after the second night. Elevator system is very very very frustrating. Staircases cannot be used, so just one elevator - the only way to move throughout the building. So every time you want to move up/down just one floor, you often must wait several minutes.

Nothing

Hated everything. The bathroom was never clean, the floor I was staying on had mold everywhere on the ceiling, my bed was dirty with my capsule being dirty too and when I complained about it, the only answer I got is they are fully booked and can't do anything. The shower had no air conditioning or anything to ventilate it, so showering was basically useless, because you got all sweaty again because of the humidity, even if showering with cold water. The bed is basically just rock on an elevated platform. Within the 5 days I stayed, there was no real cleaning, a worker just came by to take the sheets and that was it, but no actual cleaning. The place even had rats running in and out of the building where the stairs were, because the trash was just kept there without care. Women for some reason get a towel and face towel but men have to pay a rental fee for the towels. Aka discrimination. If you give one of the sex something, then you give it to the other one as well or else you call it discrimination. The so-called "locker" sure, had a lock, but that defeats the purpose if it doesn't have a roof to actually protect your stuff. Others could just easily climb in and steal all your stuff without having to worry. Can only upload 4 images, but the hotel is way worse.

Quiet and cozy. They have women’s floor.

Non

Extremely good value for money. Highly recommended if you can make do with the basic amenities

The entrances of each floor may carry cigarette smell since the smoking area is on the external stairwell

Abundant storage space, relatively clean and well maintained, amiable staff, has a sense of space and privacy unlike many typical capsule hotels squeezing everyone in one on top of another and next to a large row of capsules.

Nothing. I have stayed here before, and I was unlucky to be next to some person who snored loudly all night.
