Guest House Trace

Great location, especially being walking distance from Akihabara, the rooms felt so spacious despite sharing with so many people. The layout was great too, and everything felt very private. The staff were lovely, and accommodating, especially allowing me to come back to collect some forgotten goods. The common area was a real highlight of the place. Super friendly atmosphere there! Value for money is also an A+++++, I would really recommend this place to anybody!

The lights at night were initially a problem, but half way through the stay, they were starting to go off earlier, and when they were on, it was on a far dimmer setting. People on the top bunk were much happier. If this trend continues I doubt it would be a problem anymore. This also doesn’t affect people in the bottom bunk either.

The hostel is near JR Ryogoku Station. Initially we booked this hostel for 3 nights, but we only stayed here for 1 night . We hold a JR Pass and because of the typhoon hagibis (12 Oct 2019), the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo were suspended (12-13 Oct 2019). We contacted the property and explain the reason why we cannot go to Tokyo and they let us cancelled the 2 nights for free. Thank you so much. The staffs are friendly. This hostel has an elevator. What we mostly like about this hostel is the spacious common room and the shower (the shower space is larger than other hostels). There are many restaurants near the hostel. We also liked the kitchen, because we really need it to cook or heated our halal meal that we bring.
