K's House Tokyo Oasis - Quality Hostel in Asakusa

This was our first time staying at a hostel, and we really enjoyed it. The staff at K’s House were super friendly and kind, and the rooms were clean. It’s not fancy or luxurious, but it has a really warm, friends-and-family kind of vibe, which we loved. Like most places in Japan, the rooms are small—but that’s totally expected. All in all, we had a great stay, and I’d 100% come back again next time we’re in Tokyo. Things to note: Beds - On the firm side, typical in Japan. Bathroom - Tiny Shared Space - In the lobby/ground floor, you have access to a kitchen if you want to cook your own food.

The 4 person shared dorm was very spacious and included a sink, sofa, toilet and other useful amenities like a hair dryer which could be shared between the 4 of us, making it far more comfortable than a stay at a typical capsule hotel. The dorm I was in also had a balcony attached with a view of Tokyo sky tree and the lantern lit streets below. The staff here were so lovely and made me feel very well accommodated; they were very friendly and I had a long conversation about my trip with one of them which was nice, they also provided a sheet with locations of restaurants in the area which they personally recommend.

We arrived after the staffed check-in, but there is a keypad entry and clear instructions for finding our room. The room itself was clean and the bed was very cozy. The staff was all very kind and welcoming and all of the shared spaces were comfortable and clean. The location was quiet, though close to the subway, convience and grocery stores, and Sensō-ji. I would definitely not hesitate to stay here again.

This was a great backpacker hostel on the whole. Very friendly staff, and decent communal facilities on the ground floor. The location was great - Asakusa is an older more traditional area of Japan (than Ginza, Shinjuku etc) and we had proper Japanese shops and bars on the doorstep open all hours, only a short walk to the lovely Senso-ji shrine, and a great view of Tokyo Sky Tree. And there was working air-con & wifi :)

This accommodation is a hostel which provides a very good service. I would say that it is specializing in rather young travelers, who need a reasonably priced accommodation while having a basic standard for living, good access to the city sights, an opportunity to cook for yourself in the community area and to meet other travelers, while having also your own room as a retreat. The staff is internationally minded, fluent/native in English and helpful based on an extraordinarily good, welcoming, a bit American-style (in the positive meaning of the term) service attitude. A plus is that the hostel works and is equipped, according to basic Japanese custom, which provides the guests an idea of true Japanese lifestyle (e.g., you have to take off your shoes before entering the hostel, which is a custom in all private Japanese houses as well as in many Japanese restaurants). This authentic Japanese experience gets extended by the environment of the hostel. The hostel is not very centrally located (but with shops, nice restaraurants and convenience shops around the hostel) but well enough that guests are able to reach all sights within a reasonable period of time, considering the size of Tokyo. However, Tokyo's Skytree tower is relatively close. Relatively close are also subway lines (e.g., Ginza line) and bus lines that make it also well manageable to reach the airports. Considering the price level in Tokyo the price/performance ratio of the hostel is very good.
