Is it a fit?

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • Kuramae's craft shops and cafes
  • Asakusa & Sumida River (short ride)
  • Kuramae metro
Cut off from
  • Shibuya/Shinjuku (across the city)
  • Luxury amenities — it's a hostel
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

A mix of dorm beds and simple private rooms above a design-led cafe-bar lounge. Comfortable and stylish for the price, with shared facilities rather than hotel-grade amenities.
