Amazing hostel. Charming AF! Super sweet staff. Great patrons, too. There are lots of interesting and QUIET people, lol. This is not your party hostel. Super clean. It can get chilly in the winter, but the comforters are more than warm enough, and if not, they have heating pads. Loved my stay here. Tried to book for my return, and it was sold out. I'm not surprised!

The hostel was perfect, If you are looking for a traditional vibe in Tokyo you will be served. The staff was really nice and it was located in a calm neighborhood. Access to train stations were convenient too. I recommend going on strolls near the cemetery or Ueno zoo. The vibes are really good! The small garden was very pretty too and cosy just put mosquito spray beforehand if you plan on going during summertime. I was very pleased by the experience there and totally recommend to anyone to go there as it was the best place I stayed during my trip hostel wise

The hostel lodging is beautiful with classic Japanese architecture and a Japanese garden area. It was such a unique experience. The rooms and bedding were clean though drafty in April and there doesn't seem to be much insulation in the rooms. The mattress was decently comfortable. The hostel staff were so nice and welcoming. The hostel offers a free drink every night that you stay there and it was so fun drinking with other guests and local community members. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful hostel stay. Both the neighborhood and the dorm themselves were very quiet and peaceful. The building is very beautiful and clean, loved the decor and vibe, and was comfortable even in the intense August heat. Staff were very helpful and kind. We opted for breakfast one of the mornings and had delicious handmade onigiri, and got recommendations for nearby neighborhoods to visit. The location was easily accessible by subway and JR lines, as well as a short 15-minute walk to Ueno Park and the national museums. Highly recommend as a peaceful oasis in Tokyo!

Very very clean and comfortable! Staff was a bit reserved but accommodating. Communal areas felt extremely clean, and the dorm room offered as much privacy as one can get in a hostel. You can cook, eat, and store food in the kitchen which led to some nice conversations with other travelers. Close to Iriya Station, and located in the Asakusa neighborhood, which felt quiet and safe. I would stay here again!

Toco is an amazing guest house, it's like an old inn where the innkeepers care about their guests, and are friendly. Only that they've modernised for the 21st century while keeping their old school charm. The dorms and rooms are in a separate building behind the main and somewhat modern facade (but still a bit quaint and hipster ish), and they have a water feature and small pond for you to relax and chill. Bathrooms and showers are shared, even for the private room, but the water is hot and the showers are good sized. I only wished that there was more open nights for the private room that we could enjoy this guest house to the fullest. Otherwise, highly recommended (though it's a longer walk from Ueno station) that's why one less star for the location. Loved our short stay here and I definitely want to come back and enjoy myself here again. Oh and for couples, the place is a tad creaky 😉

Positive: 1. The Staff is very polite, warm and welcoming. 2. The welcome drink and socialising with the few low travellers and locals was fun. 3. It’s clean. Negative: 1. You might fall for this stay in an old traditional Japanese house. Yes it has its charm, but it’s a very old, creaky house. Every step in the main hall will creak. There was an earthquake one night when I was there, the whole house rattled. Yea it’s safe. But very old. 2. It’s close to Iriya station but far from Shinjuku,Shibuya, Ginza. Around 40/45 mins by subway. 3. Toilets and kitchen are separated by an open wall. People sitting in the kitchen can see the toilet doors and wash basins. Not good. 4. Price is steep for the facilities and the rooms. As it’s a very old house.

Loved my stay at Toco! It's a beautiful old house with lots of charm. The beds are good and you have more than enough room to store your bags. The check in area (and bar area) is nice. I wish they would keep it open later throug. Its a nice place to socialize with other travellers, but it closes at 10pm on week days. After that, there is no place to really have a chat with your fellow travellers. My #1 suggestion would be to have the bar open until midnight. Not only does this help with late arrival, it also adds value to the hostel for those seeking a more social place. The neighbourhood is quiet. Unfortunally no good coffee place in the area. Close to the metro line to Akihabara, Ueno and Tokyo Station.
