almond hostel & cafe

Great hostel location, a fantastic bouncing off point if you're trying to get to other places in Tokyo. They have multiple bathrooms (clean) and showers! My issues come with the heat. The room was sooooo hot all the time. And if you have the privacy curtain drawn your bed space becomes a fiery inferno. In addition, the showers were rough, they had no ventilation and had obvious evidence of mold growing on the ceilings. I would still recommend this place if you can handle the heat and want a good, cheap location to stay in Tokyo. The cafe was great, good drinks and always kinda full of people.

I stayed here with a friend for a week or two, and it was great. The hostel offers the basic necessities: a bed, a locker, and a bathroom. Basically a big dorm. The cafe downstairs is a very comfortable and the food is great. After walking around Tokyo for a whole day, relaxing downstairs at the cafe just makes you sink away into your seat. Everything was reasonably priced, but I would recommend bringing your own slippers. Additionally, their cafe playlist is pretty fire, and they have different ones corresponding to different times of day! The owner is also a very chill and cool guy.

Great location, super friendly staff, everything was clean and tidy, they provide toiletries for shower. There's a good charger point next to the bed, great coffee downstairs. I would definitely come back.

This is not a hostel, but a hotel. It lacks all the amenities a hostel should have: there is no common area to relax or eat, only an uncomfortable bar that is accessible only during its opening hours. On top of that, the café is completely disconnected from the rooms: it is located in another building around the corner and can only be accessed from the street, which is very inconvenient. The room I stayed in had 20 beds and only two showers for everyone, which is clearly insufficient. The only positive aspect is the staff, who were generally very kind and helpful. However, on the last day of my stay, I woke up to find a homeless person sleeping inside the room. Since it was early (7 AM) and the reception only opened at 8, the café staff refused to help us with the situation.

Lovely and very kind staff, very convenient location, clean rooms (as much as the visitors allow it..) almond café is cozy with a good variety of quality food and coffee. 🤍 Only downside: not enough space to hang wet clothing

So so so affordable at around ¥50000 for a night. At the end of a good nightlife shopping street and right between two stations. One minute from 2 combini. Big 1m x 1m x ?25cm? Storage locker under each bed can fit most full size suitcases. Towels ¥200, shampoo soap and conditioner provides, seats and mirrors to shave and set your hair.

Good friendly environment and homemade ginger drink was so good with fresh ginger added. Food here also looks really amazing! Has wifi and charging points

Traveled from the U.S. and stayed here three nights. Completely functional hostel with private bunk space. Overall, if you don’t mind a hostel experience and travel light this is a great place to stay! If you are new to hostels or want anything fancy, this may not be the place for you. The pros: - Clean - Friendly staff - Location - quiet and walkable neighborhood but right by a walkway that is close to a train station. About a 10 minute walk Yoyogi park. About a 30 minute walk to Shibuya crossing. - Mostly quiet (this depends on other guests of course) - Cafe on ground floor that is open early/late, plus they let you bring/eat other food The cons: - Bathroom and bedroom are a shared area. The bathroom is around a corner, but there is no door separating, so if your bunk is near the bathroom, or other guest are loud, it could be a noisy experience. - Storage & Space Optimization. This was our biggest issue while staying here. Each bunk has an assigned storage space, but they vary in size and location from your bunk. Some were underneath, some across, some in the main walkway. I would not recommend if you have any more than 1 small suitcase. We were across from others who had 2-3 suitcases and it made it hard to get into bed, let alone lay out our own suitcases when needed. - Lack of common space. The cafe on the ground floor is nice, but it was crowded (not sure if these were other hostel guests or not), and doesn’t have a ton of seating. Would not recommend if you want to spend significant time decompressing at your accommodations (aside from being alone in your bunk).
