Sanae-san is the best host I've ever met! She really tried her best to make us all feel at home. During less than a week, she organized for us a takoyaki party, and served us delicious mochi for breakfast twice, making us experience Japanese New Year's cuisine and traditions. The guest house is perfectly clean and very comfortable. The bed is incredibly cozy and soft, and we had also extra blankets (that were never necessary, because the sleeping area was very warm already). The kitchen is very neat and functional, with everything to cook our own meals, and coffee and Japanese green tea provided by the house. The living area is the perfect spot to hang out with other guests or work. The position of the guest house too is perfect! Not far from Koenji station, it is near the main road, full of shops and delicious restaurants. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Location was great in regard to the airport. The lady staff member was lovely and very helpful. The place was amazing for how much I paid I wasn’t expecting much but it exceeded my expectations dramatically. I even forgot my drink bottle and she ran to give it to me at the train station, very grateful for her. Definitely recommend staying with these guys :))

Great location, about a 20 minute walk from Sensoji and Asakusa. A little off the beaten path so be prepared to walk a little to get to different locations around Tokyo. We loved how quiet it was, it was a great break from the Tokyo crowds. Beds were very comfortable, not too many people in the rooms. There is a bath available in addition to the showers in the female dorms, we did not use it but it looked great! We loved the bike rentals, at 100 yen an hour they were super affordable and a great way to bike around and see the city! We wish we had stayed longer just to be able to bike around more (make sure you ask where bike parking is where you intend to go if you do not already know). Breakfast was super tasty. Overall 100% recommended for price and experience.

One thing distinguishes COGO Ryogoku from other hostels I’ve stayed in - the staff members warmth and kindness. They’re all Japanese but speak English fluently so you won’t have any issue with communication. I didn’t have the opportunity to converse with each of them, but those I had the opportunity to share a conversation with were very kind and friendly. The others seemed very nice nonetheless ! The room and bathroom are cleaned daily by hard working staff so if you see something dirty blame your roommates for lack of hostel etiquette. The huge common area and kitchen on the reception floor is another great point that distinguishes COGO Ryogoku from other hostels. There are tables where you can sit comfortably to work, eat or even socialise with the other guests and staff members. This open space is very welcoming and open all day/ night. If you need a private space to work, you can rent one for a cheap price. Barely a 5 minute walk from Ryogoku station, it is easily accessible and can get to anywhere in Tokyo quickly. The closest convenience store is a 10 second walk from the entrance of the building, very convenient for late night cravings ! Thank you again for all your help and your kindness !

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.
