The room was clean, and the kitchen was tidy and well-organized. The staff explained everything thoroughly. The towels were soft and smelled nice. It was easy to get around even though it’s not very close to the station, the walk was convenient. There are convenience stores and a supermarket nearby. I was very impressed!
In addition to the amenities in the room, there were also extra items thoughtfully prepared for guests. The photo was taken late at night, so it doesn’t look very tidy.

great stay!

We stayed in a 2-bed room for 10 nights. You should expect the bathroom to be small, but it has everything we needed. The hotel has a common area kitchen, which we didn't use much, but also the room itself had a little fridge and a table. There is a laundromat literally across the street if you need to do laundry. The staff was SO nice the entire time!!! We really enjoyed our stay here while in Japan!

The staff and service here is excellent! One of the best that we've ever encountered. They took the initiative to recommend us places to play and eat, and also helped readily with our requests. I lost my hat on a bus and they helped me to contact the bus company, and managed to get back my hat! Especially, the lady at the counter. I unfortunately did not ask her for her name, but she speaks Chinese and always started a conversation with us - which was nice! The room we stayed in was a little small for 4 people, and we had to take turns showering. But overall, the room is very clean and the staff took initiative in cleaning our room too. The location was not bad, if you prefer to live in a little neighbourhood. It's really quiet, even at night. There's a really big supermarket nearby and a very good bakery. It's also not very far from the station. There's 2 stations in close proximity. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel and I will stay here again! (But maybe not with 4 people)

I had a great time staying at Wagokoro. Staffs are so friendly and extremely helpful. The place is situated in a nice and quiet neighborhood, very close to convenient store, market and a cafe.

This was a great place to stay and super affordable for all the amenities that are offered. The people who work there are SO NICE and helpful. It is well located in a cute neighbourhood near a cool bakery/coffee shop/book store and a 8-10 minute walk from Nippori station on the Yamanote sen - near Ueno Park and other east-side attractions. Very convenient to get to Narita. We stayed in a Japanese style room with access to the a little outside area (more to look at then go out in). The room was immaculate and efficient. I was there with my family- a little small for four people but fine for one night. There is a common room with a kitchen and fridge.

The best ever experience

I spent 3 nights and 4 days with my family here. 1. All the employees are very friendly and professional. 2. All facilities are very clean and there is a lounge where you can eat or work. 3. There are many delicious restaurants and good supermarkets nearby. 4. The accommodation is not far from Nippori Station, so it is convenient to move inside Tokyo. I want to visit again next time. Thank you.
