Surprising amount of room with modern furniture and a calm vibe. It was quiet and comfortable. Being on the Tozai line made it a convenient location, though it was a little far from the venue of my event that was through my own fault of booking somewhere far away.

Staff is the best! Super friendly, always open to chat and give advices, we had a christmas party/dinner, and the Manager was making Takoyaki for us. Just perfect, i made a lot of friends here and im very grateful for that. Akasaka is a very quiet area so it was amazing to stay here and walk around at night to relax from busy areas. I recomend this guest house 100%, on my next trip i will stay here again. Gracias Akasaka Guesthouse Hive!!

I think this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. First of all, I want to thank the staff, especially Sami, who was incredibly kind and helped me whenever I needed advice! The atmosphere feels just like home, and you realize it within a few hours—there’s always someone around, and there’s always a chance to make great friendships, like I did with Erkin, Jimmy, and Macy! I’ll miss them all and hope to see them again one day! All of this was thanks to Tora Hotel! I can’t wait to come back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.
