Nui. HOSTEL & BAR LOUNGE

I had a nice stay at Nui Hostel. I stayed in the dorm and it was very comfortable. There was absolutely no noise coming from the bar at the ground floor. I enjoyed particularly the facilities, like the open area on the 6th floor reserved for the hotel guests, ideal to do some work, to relax or to cook yourself something. The hotel is not on the Yamanote line, which for me was not a problem at all. I actually appreciated greatly how close it is to Senso-ji in Asakusa, and I would definitely recommend it especially if it's not your first time in Tokyo and you are looking forward to explore the eastern wards of the city (Taito, Sumida, Bunkyo, ecc).

The hostel was very trendy but also exceptionally clean and organised. The cafe downstairs had great food and staff. And the common room on the 6th floor had a great kitchen and laundry area. The best part of Nui. was how many cool people I met staying there, especially one of the hostel staff, Sora. One of the kindest and most accommodating hostel staff I have ever met, and he spoke great english so he was very helpful with any questions i had as well as recommendations for Tokyo. Overall, this hostel was the highlight of my trip (:

Asakusa is not close to Shibuya etc (about 45 mins into these areas) BUT it's got a very local energy about it, there was a temple event happening just across the road one of the days with lots of locals about. The hostel is super clean, rooms are what you expect for a hostel, their brunch and coffee are banging and its got a good evening vibe if you're looking for a chill drink after a long day - lots of opportunities to meet some cool people.

Excellent and hip hostel in a quieter part of town but with easy access to everything the city has to offer. Walking distance to the Sumida riverfront and Asakusa with two metro stations very close by. Not a party hostel but still very social. Facilities were very comfortable. I stayed twice, first in the river view room which was incredible, second time in the mixed dorm which was surprisingly clean and quiet for a hostel. Watching the Sumidagawa fireworks from the rooftop is an experience I will never forget. Great base if you are staying in Tokyo for more than a few days.

The room and bathroom were spacious (for a hostel) and clean. The location was a little far from Shibuya and Shinjuku but it was a great location in terms of seeing things in Asakusa and walking to local bars and restaurants and the river and the Senso-ji Temple. It was also very social which I loved and the bar in the lobby was a little pricey but it was fun to go there every night because there were both fellow travelers and locals there.
