A16 HOSTEL TOKYO, Tokyo

Situated in the Asakusabashi neighbourhood, the hostel is a 4-5 minute walk from the A1 exit of Asakusabashi Station. The station provides direct access to both Haneda Airport (20 km) and Narita Airport (about 1 hour), making it very convenient for airport transfers or exploring central Tokyo. Akihabara is just one metro stop away, and Asakusa, Ueno, and the Sumida River are within easy walking distance. Many restaurants, convenience stores (7-Eleven, Family Mart), and a pharmacy are within a few minutes' walk. The train line runs alongside the building, so light sleepers may want to plan accordingly - rooms facing the tracks can experience noise and vibration when trains pass during the day and evening.

The hostel offers mixed dormitories (21 beds) and a female-only dormitory (19 beds). Each bed is a standard single mattress on a metal bunk, with a privacy curtain, a small 4-digit safe for valuables, a reading light, and a TV. Bed size is 195 cm x 97 cm, so tall travellers should check the dimensions for comfort. The mixed dorms can feel crowded, with limited personal space and open shoe storage inside the room, which can cause odour - the female floor has separate shoe storage outside the room, resulting in noticeably better air quality. Noise can be an issue: the train line runs adjacent to the building, and internal noise from other guests can travel easily due to thin partitions. Luggage is stored in a shared open space on each floor; there is no locker for suitcases. Storage under the bed is not available. The female dorm has its own toilets and a shower (available until 22:00), and the main showers and toilets are located on the 5th and 6th floors. Air conditioning and heating are available throughout.

The hostel does not offer a restaurant, bar, or breakfast service, but the common area provides free coffee and tea, a microwave, a toaster, an electric kettle, a refrigerator, and a dining area where you can prepare simple meals and eat. Several restaurants are within a 3-5 minute walk, including Tonkatsu Hyakumangoku, Kinsansan, Kunrin Tenka, Kyounkaku, Yoshokudaikichi, and a butcher shop. Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Family Mart) are also nearby for quick snacks and drinks. The neighbourhood is known for affordable and varied Japanese dining options, so guests who prefer a fuller meal can easily find local options nearby.

Wi-Fi is available and free in all areas. The common area on the ground floor has a large table, a TV, board games, tea and coffee, a microwave, a toaster, a fridge, and a water dispenser - it's a good space for meeting other travellers. The hostel has a lift to the 5th floor (the 6th floor showers are accessible via stairs). Luggage storage is free on check-in day from 8am and on check-out day; during your stay, luggage storage costs 500 yen per item per night. Coin-operated laundry (washer and dryer) is available. The front desk is staffed until midnight, providing English, Japanese, and Chinese language support. A safety deposit box, CCTV in common areas, and smoke alarms are present. Irons and ironing boards are available on request. Minors require parental consent and emergency contact information. The hostel does not have parking, no pets are allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking.
