almond hostel & cafe

I genuinely don’t know how anyone could have something negative to say about this place! It’s super clean and chill, beautiful lighting, all white and clean…the cafe downstairs is chic, the staff is SO lovely and helpful, and the location cannot be beat. The train is 1 block away, and the neighborhood is full of beautiful boutiques and restaurants. I’ve stayed in quite a few capsule hotels in Tokyo, and this is by far the nicest one.

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.

Staff is very polite and helpful. Location is great, near the train station. Cannot complaint from any of these. However the room is crowded with 25 beds and no place to sit down near the bed nor leave any towel drying. Some sections were dark due to bad lighting distribution abound the room and I had to use my phone torch to help me see my stuff. The toilets are a small cubicle with no ventilation so the smell is very bad. I preferred to use toilets on train station that has better smell. The beds on the top are not so easy to reach and needs skills to climb up.

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.

Such a cozy space 💓 When I arrived to check in I was suffering from severe motion sickness. I had to run outside to be sick. During such an embarrassing and scary moment for me, the girl working there ran out to comfort me and make sure I was okay. She showed me so much empathy and kindness. Thank you so much, and I’m sorry for having motion sickness. I would love to stay here again!

Rooms are stuffy. There is no air conditioning. Thus for everywhere smelling people foot. They sell everything except one pillow, one duvet, one bed. I never recommend this otel. You may find better options of cost that you pay here.

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

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).
