Brilliant place to stay in Tokyo. Short walking distance to metro station (with direct access trains to the airports and most of the hubs of within Tokyo). There's a big grocery shop and mall nearby as well. Rooms are very comfy and everything is sparkling clean. Fast (30Mbps) internet. Would return also next time.

Best place I've stayed at in Tokyo!
Comfy, clean, bright, great staff, GREAT location. Many of the rooms have views of the Tokyo Sky Tree for an extra big city feel! My room was extremely comfortable and surprisingly one of the biggest I've stayed in for the price I paid. I love the touches like the little pocket beside the bed with USB and plugs to put your phone or smartwatch dock. The amenities are incredible: in-building laundry, kitchen, downstairs lounge with eating table and couches, TV, tea and coffee, miso soup. The location is INCREDIBLE - just steps away is a discount 24 hour supermarket (Big A). You can also choose between all 3 konbini chains, and the Lawson is a Lawson 100 (konbini + 100 yen shop). I bought a screwdriver set there in the middle of the night to fix my laptop seriously having one nearby is amazing. Direct trains to Shibuya, Shinagawa, Narita Airport. Easy to access everywhere else. By the way the lounge is a great meeting space and I met some incredible people here.

Great Location!
This is a great hostel for anyone’s first time in Tokyo. The location is easy to find and close to many good places to eat. The bed is really comfortable and I like how there are laundry machines you can use. The only thing is that I wish that we were able to use the stairs whenever we wanted. Not just during an emergency because that elevator is slow and there’s only one.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. The environment is really fantastic, both quiet when need be and conversational otherwise. The hostel is very near a big subway station and two 24 hour cheap convenience stores. Every area is clean and welcoming. Their kitchen is fully stocked. They even have a variety of Japanese tea and miso free to use.

Stayed one night in the double room with my daughter. Nice view of Sky Tree from room and the bed was comfotable and the room quiet. The bathrooms and common area were clean. There was a self service lounge available downstairs with coffee maker and kitchen. Nothing fancy.

Great deal for the price
Great location to stay for touring the Tokyo area. It is a little far from some parts of city, but it's near to Senso-ji and the Skytree. The room was small, as expected, but served all of my needs. Comfortable bed, clean bathrooms, and strong WiFi. Oh, and the shared kitchen had all I could ask for. Made for a very comfy 6 night stay and I'd certainly stay there again.

My family used a room with 4 bunk beds. It's a hostel rather than a hotel, so the rooms are small and bathrooms are shared, but the place is in good condition and reasonably priced. Walking distance to Tokyo Skytree, the Senso-ji temple, and Asakusa.

Actually, I didn't stay coz my sons got sickness and cancelled this trip but I was charged. I stayed here for many times, the rules quite much more and inflexible. The location is ok and quite place. Strong point is easy to back to the airport. Next trip I will not stay here, uncomfortable services.

Perfect stay, super comfy bed, 10/10
Tiny room (so you might find it snug if you’ve got a fair bit of luggage but it was fine with our big backpack), but the bed was SUPER comfy and to be honest you had everything you needed ! Honestly 100% would recommend staying here if you’re a fellow backpacker like me, it felt like the bed of dreams after all the ones I’d slept in in Thailand! Plus the price is amazing here for Japan.

Clean and Cozy
Very clean and comfortable place, with all the little amenities. Small rooms, with nice-sized beds. Of note, the automatic door locks are pretty noisy, and can be heard through earplugs, which is something to consider if you have three other bunkmates. About a seven-minute walk to Skytree and the Solamachi Mall/Aquarium. Maybe four minutes to the nearest Oshiage Station Exit. I would definitely recommend.

Everything is great, especially the common area on ground floor. It is definitely one of the best. I couldn't get a female dorm and was stuck with the guys. Found the room smelly went I entered, but that's probably from other guests...

A Clean Convenient Stay in Tokyo
Oak Hostel Sakura was the perfect place to stay in Tokyo. It was only a fre hundred meters from the Tokyo Skytree metro stop, and it was incredibly easy to get anywhere in the city. There is also a direct train to both Haneda and Narita airports from that same subway stop, so it's incredibly convenient. The hostel itself was very clean, and the staff was professional and helpful. The only downside that I would make you aware of, is that the hostel is changing their policies and no longer providing things like towels and slippers for free. Since we made our reservation so far in advance these policies didn't apply to us, but for future guests you may be asked to pay a few ($1-2) US dollars for clean towels and slippers.

I stayed here for a night and i have zero complaints. The location is great, everything was clean, and most importantly the friendly staff were great! I never got her name, but the sweet lady at the front desk was great help throughout my stay. I will definitely be booking with them every time im in Tokyo.

Reasons to recommend this Hostel.
First, location : near to the Skytree (10-15 min walk ), near to subway (5min), near to seven eleven (4min), also near to a supermarket (10 min), you can find cheap and tasty food after 9pm. Easy to move to turistic atractions. So great location. 2nd we stayed in a deluxe room, so is big enough for two lugagge, one desk, even a small balcony and free space to move without problem. 3th Common Areas, pretty big, clean and confortable. 4th Bathroom, in the same floor it is around 8 rooms, and one bathroom with 2 showers, 3 handwashs, 5 toilet. it wasn´t feel unconfortable, so ,even that the hotel has shared bathroom these are good. 5th Price, You have to consider that you are in Tokyo, maybe you will find a cheaper place, but the quality of this hostel is very good. 6th They don't give you towels but you can rent it per 100 yenes (0.9$) Plus: They give a kind of Cellphone to navigate around tokyo during you stay. 7th They speak english very well. They sell little and cheap souveniers between 200 to 1000. 100% recommended

Nice but far away from shibuya, omotesando.
Everything was fine. The room was clean, staffs were very friendly and it is very close to the subway. However, it is quite far from the metropolitan area like Shibuya so if you end up in a shopping spree and want to stop by to drop your bags, it will be whole another trip.

Overall I had an excellent stay. It is well located and about a four minute walk from the skytree station. The building seems quite new and it is kept very clean. The communal washrooms have all you need and are also very well maintained. Staff was helpful and made sure we were well accommodated. Overall, I highly recommend.
