Sakura Hostel Asakusa

Best hostel in Tokyo!
Great hostel! The beds were nice and comfortable. The installations are relatively new and everything is kept clean and neat. Additionally, the hostel has lockers in each room which I found very helpful, there is no fee to use it, just bring a lock. Also, The staff is very friendly and helpful, they spoke english, and one of the members even spoke spanish which i found really cool. Next time i go to Tokyo, I am totally staying in this hostel.

Friendly, relaxed, and great location
it was a really great place to stay. i traveled solo and didn't feel out of place, everyone was really friendly. the rooms and bathrooms were extremely clean and comfortable, and you're just round the corner from temple/market and shops. i definitely recommend staying here.

Very good place to go! Staff very friendly and available, cheap breakfast, rooms and bathrooms clean, hostel well located in a calm but lovely district. Avoid the 8 bed rooms if you can but it is not very spacy but he 6 bed ones are very OK. Definitely the best hostel i've been in in Japan.

Stay at this hostel! Very clean, great staff, and good location. I stayed here in early February. It is only a subway ride away from anywhere in the city. Probably the best value for accommodation in Tokyo. I'm coming back in June and will be happy to stay here again.

I'm at Sakura Hostel for a week and can say that the facilities here are great, the price is fantastic, and the people are friendly. The only downside is that it is extremely difficult to find. Because it is new, not many locals know about it and I had one taxi driver scratching his head even when I showed a map with pictures and the address in Japanese. He dropped me off in the general area. If you're like me and terrible with maps, you'll have to find the hostel again and again due to the confusing state of the shops, roads, and lack of any real signage besides the big Sakura sign that is only noticeable at night. This is the only downside though. Definitely value for money!

Stayed in this hostel for 3 nights in Aug 2006. I enjoyed staying here, because the hostel is in a really good location; Asakusa is a nice suburb of Tokyo to chill out in. In terms of meeting people, this hostel is reasnoable,its more of a chilled out vibe, don't go expecting a party. Staff speak english. Only drawback, rooms are a bit small. Overall recommended.
