Sakura Hotel Jimbocho

We stayed there for 2 nights in a triple room in the annex. It was a very pleasant stay, a newly renovated room with 2 WC and a shower. The breakfast and 24h coffee/tea are served in the main building, across the road. |It is a quiet residencial area in Tokyo downtown and next to the subway lines with connections to many sightseeing places around the city. It is a walking distance to the Imperial palace and the Tokyo station (fot those who like to walk). |The staff members have been polite and helpful. |I would definitely stay again here.

It was very clean and homey! One of the most affordable hotels in tokyo. It’s accessible since there is a nearby station. Free shampoo and body wash:) and they automatically fix gour room unless you say not to. We availed Free breakfast, it consists of toast , strawberry and blueberry spread and butter. Plus free tea and coffee. They have farm to table food variety too in their resto

Nice staff. Made a mistake and charged me twice. Staff rectified this and were very apologetic and bought me a beer to show their apologies.||Pretty clean rooms with the option of regular social activities.||Good location, however somewhat dated. Bed comfortable enough, however pillow hard and felt like it was full of rice. Very noisy at times with other travellers not respecting quiet hours. Blow drying hair and banging around in rooms.||Basic, but overall good experience.

It is a good place to go for sleep after being in Akihabara or investigating Tokyo. It's the first time I have been sharing a room with several people. The place gathers people from different countries, so if you want to chat with a fellow traveler or potentially make new friends, it's a good place to be. There are different activities going on, but I was too busy investigating Tokyo with a friend (plus, I am a bit of an introvert), so I didn't had time in my schedule to participate. It was a good place to stay.👍

Stayed there for 5 nights in a single person room with shared bathrooms. The place was really clean, the bed was comfy and the staff are reallly nice! Best of all the location is 5min walk from station jimbocho. From there, you can basically reach most toursist spots like shibuya shinjuku, akihabara in under 25min! Also youre surrounded by restaurants. I def recommend going to the jimbocho meat restaurant and ebimaru ramen which is around 5 min by foot. (PS. theres always a line going for 30 to 1h. I recommend lining up before the opening or going past 2pm)

Go to Jimbocho’s Sakura hotel with your eyes closed, everything was perfect. The location, the cleanliness, the washing machine, the café and most importantly… The staff! They were adorable, special thanks to the first person we met there, the night receptionist Tomo, the kindness in his eyes made us instantly feel safe. We had fun joking around with Kaito every now and then, thank you for the delicious meals you made us. And thanks to you, the woman who always had a nice word for us and proposed to take a picture on our last day, we forgot to ask your name but your friendly smile will stay for a while in our memories!

My high rating is based on the value for the Yen, I reserved a small private room for an excellent price, very rare for Tokyo. Also a 300 Yen espresso that was actually tasty was much appreciated! One of the excellent factors of this place is that it’s only a 10 minute subway train to Shinjuku. Small breakfast is also included in the price.

Pros: Pricing, Location were both fantastic. Cons: Wifi was practically unusable aside from the first floor, so you will have to sit in the cafe to use it. Generally I'm happy with my experience. It was usually clean + quiet and I was comfortable during my stay. Staff were friendly and good breakfast.

Very conveniently located from the station. Very kind staff. The beds are comfy and the showers are VERY good. Free iced coffee in the morning as well as toast. The staff can help with your plans if you need.

I must admit I didn't know I could YELP Japan, let alone YELP anywhere in Far East Asia! Anyway, I'm finally catching up with all my reviews I wanted to Yelp so, here's my first review for Japan: Sakura Hotel was an arduous feat arriving at Jimbocho District for so many, many reasons~First arriving at Narita Airport . . . Uh~oh-oh! Ooof! Everything's written in kanji or is that kana??? No English words telling me where to go??!! Nooo! Borragitta~I'm RUINED!!! First, learning how to speak Korean but, Dorothy, Dear~You're NOT in Seoul anymore!! NO Korean, Shirley, just Japanese only but, I only know how to say, Konnechewa, eeyay, merrokosend, domo arrigato, San-Shi . . . Oh-oh! I'm SO SCREWED NOW!! Ok~oh, yeah-I need to offload my extra luggage . . . I find an American asking where do I store my luggage and the American man told me to go downstairs to the left, paying like $22.00 USD for storing my luggage. Ahh-cool, thanks, Dude! "Yup~No problem! Oh, hey, offload as much luggage as possible because transportation is rough here!" Ahh-cool, thanks, Dude! After storing my luggage . . . I need to buy a train ticket: Uh~yeah~Konnecheewa~Uhm~Where do I buy a train ticket? "Eeyay!" Huh? What? Yah~San-Shi! Oeodi Metro Train? (I spoke in my broken Korean seeing if the person understood Korean-No such LUCK!!)! Person puts hands and arms up making an X gesture and walked away!! WHAT?? Mooo-YAH??!! Uhm ...( * ~ * ) Uhm-\('~_~')/-YAH~San-Shi!! Tuwajo, jusayyo, eh?? Borragitta!!! I screamed inside the airport underground hallway!! I finally found a Japanese Airline Hostess asking her where do I buy my train ticket and she said to follow her; waiting to buy a train ticket took forever because there was only one person at the train kiosk with fifteen people waiting, wanting to buy their train ticket! TWENTY minutes later: Oh-Oh-Oh~I need to go to Sakura Hotel-Here's the address . . . "I speak little Ing-grish. I give you map, I write in Japanese so, more Japanese citizens help you find Sakura, ok? Ok." Ticket in hand, go ride the "J" Train. Heads Up: Never, EVER ride ANY Metro Train with luggage because elevators and escalators are few and far between!! I ride the "J" Train to Shibuya Station lugging my suitcases, backpack, and augh~I'm sweating to death!! I'm carrying my luggage but, I need to get Japanese currency before heading to Sakura; a lady that looks exactly like Park Shin Hye, a Korean actress helps me find a bank in Shibuya District, I thank her, hop onto another train heading for Jimbocho. I'm at Jimbocho Station hoofing up SEVERAL flights of stairs-AUGH! Ok~Whoa-Uhm-Konnecheewa-Sakura Hotel? "Eeyay!" Yah-Tuwajo, jusayyo!!! Oh! The man is Korean! "Jusonghayyo!" Ahh-Quenchanayo! The Korean man tells me in KOREAN how to get to Sakura Hotel! HAH!! I finally arrived at Sakura Hotel sweating profusely from lugging my luggage and in my confusion, I'm mixing languages~Anneyeoung, Hassayyo, San-Shi-Konnecheewa, yah, my name is Shirley-whoa-I'm borragitta! I need a shower! My room? I'm on the fifth or was it third (?) floor, small, narrow room, the size of a laundry room, narrow twin bed. Uhm-This is where I'm staying? Uhm-\('~~')/-YAH!! Andwayyo!!! Ok~Konnechewa, Sakura!! Where's the shower? Oh-I guess I'll wear this robe~Oh! The shower is tiny but, clean. I finally feel coherent, go down to the reception area, ask for Internet access~ok, I'm finished with that, now, let's find a place to eat . . . SUSHI!!! Hey, WHY NOT? This is THE place where sushi derived~Right? Right!

It's probably been a good 3 years since I last stayed in a hostel (and that last hostel happened to be in Osaka). Even though I usually stay in full-service hotels, I really enjoyed this hostel due to the combination of affordability, convenience, and friendly service. The hostel is located conveniently near the Jimbocho subway station (5 min walk) on a pretty quiet side street. There is plenty of dining and convenience store options nearby, and you really get a native Tokyo feel. It is pretty easy to find with a little cafe up front. Once you walk in, you find a small check-in counter to your right where the front desk staff is friendly and efficient in getting you to your room and answering your questions. The hostel is located close to the imperial palace, yasukuni shrine, and not too far from Tokyo Station / Ginza. I got a single private room with a tiny window (didn't really overlook anything) - enough space for 1 person to not feel claustrophobic but not much bigger than a prison cell. The shared sinks on the floor were clean and easy to use. The showers were comfortable though basic, and there were plenty of bathrooms on each floor. I never had to wait in the morning or at night.

Sakura Hotel Jimbocho is more of a hostel than a hotel. They have a few other locations other than the Jimbocho one as well. This location is only a few blocks from the Jimbocho station! They also offer breakfast for a fee, and there's a cafe in the lobby. The front door is open 24/7, so you don't have to worry about curfew hours! I stayed in their small single room (shared bathroom), and boy was it small. I only stayed one night there, so it wasn't too bad. It was roomy enough for sleeping, and I'm sure it's better than most hostels (I've only experienced Japanese hostels, which apparently are way nicer). The room and facility seemed clean enough too. The only bummer was that the room lighting was dim, and although there was a large window.. the view was dark, since there was just a cement wall there. For the price, I think it was just okay. There's definitely cheaper, and better places to stay in Japan.

Ideal lodging for flexible travelers on a budget. Hostel style amenities: clean, simple, and hassle-free. Rooms range in size. With some careful planning, small groups with even numbers can probably reserve/share a single room (bunk-beds). The staff is very accommodating and multilingual. We've heard them conversing with guests in Japanese, Spanish, English, and Chinese. The first floor has a quaint 24hr canteena with a diverse range of food and beverage options. Many international beer selection available. Location is practical for foot and/or public transportation travel around the city.

Hands down one of the best places to stay if you're trying to save a buck (quid) in Tokyo. I am literally there oldest customer and have to say and all my many visits they helped me out very very much beyond expectation.
