Nui. Hostel & Bar Lounge

I arrived in Kuramae station in the morning and the hostel is just 2 minutes away. Everything else is walking distance --Tobu train station, sumida river, Senso-ji temple (Nakamise & Dempoin street) even Kappabashi street can be reach through walking. There is also a Familymart nearby and a pretty famous restaurant beside the hostel, I say famous because on one weekend I saw lots of Japanese lined-up at the restaurant. The ambiance at the bar is incredible, the breakfast was also superb. It's a pity I wasn't able to experience their cocktails because I was always too tired to chill or party at night. I liked it when we can also contribute by doing our own bed. The toilet and shower areas are sparkling clean. The staff were all TOO AWESOME! They are polite and kind as Japanese plus they speak good English. I met awesome people, they were my roommates. One of the reasons why I would like to travel again to Japan is to stay again in Nui. It is surprising that such hostel can be this great!

The location was really convenient in that Kuramae train station is less than 5 minutes walk and goes directly to the airport. In Tokyo you use the metro a lot so that is very helpful. The staff were friendly and the bar is a nice cool area to hang out and have a coffee or a drink.

It's only very small but I wish there wasn't the strict 4pm check in time. It's fine if the room isn't ready yet but if it is it would be nice to be able to go to it after a long flight.

We didnt realise when we booked that this was a sister hostel of Len in Kyoto- which we also loved! Like Len, the interiors are great with a fantastic downstairs bar. We were here during typhoon Hagibis and hung out here all day. Rooms are a good size. Great hostel, well priced, helpful staff.

Incredibly friendly place with nice bar. Rooms are a bit on the smaller side.
