The hostel looks very clean and the interior is nice and cozy. The staff was helpful and they provided free rental of power adapters which I appreciated. Comapring what you get for the cost, I can definitely recommend this place. The location is not bad since it is close to the metro line but when planning your trip, think through if you plan to be in Shibuya or Shinjuku during the night because then this hostel is very far away and the metro does not run during the night.

Good location, staff were friendly, vibe was nice and there's a cute bar/lounge at reception. Bed was spacious and room was great. Showers and toilet facilities are on the same floor which is very convenient.

I really enjoyed my week at Focus Kuramae as the staff was really friendly. I stayed in the female dormitory room on the thrid floor and it was bigger than I expected. I was travelling two big pieces of luggage but I had some space to store them so they would not bother any one else. As far as cleanliness is concerned, I have nothing to complain about. The hostel is located near Kuramae Station and I had no problem getting to the locations I wanted to visit.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! Staff was very nice, facilities were incredibly clean. They cleaned everyday! The lounge area is so nice perfect to have dinner or work, very comfortable. They also have a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very nice, such a lovely calm area with lots of cute cafes. A quick 30 min ride to Shibuya.

I lived on the dorms and the bed was huge! The room was super spacious and clean and you have 3 shared bathrooms, laundry and 2 showers in the 4th floor. The staff was friendly and sweet. There is a kitchen in the hostel as well so it was perfect if you wanted to cook your own stuff. Also a sauna which I never used but seemed interesting for sure.

I liked the stuff very friendly and kind even though not everyone spoke english, they had 1 or more employees work at every moment. Everyday cleaning, but in my opinion a bit too early in the morning 10:30 am… Nice bar, kitchen, many toilets.

The location was brilliant! We absolutely loved staying in Kuramae. The hostel was close to two subway lines which was very handy. The staff were helpful on arrival, our dorm room was as a good size - our pods were big enough that we had space at the side to keep our bags but not sure all of the pods had this. Showers/loos always clean and tidy. Lots of great cafes/restaurants nearby and it is so close to the river which is a real bonus.

I really enjoyed staying here, it was super pleasant. The cafe downstairs served nice food and the room was spacious and clean. Good location as well. The other girls in the dorm were friendly and quiet and the lights were turned off at a reasonable hour. We had a fire alarm go off the first night which resulted in an evacuation, but it was handled so well and the woman who called the fire department made sure everyone knew what was going on in English and Japanese (it was a false alarm in the end). Very well handled!

Location: 7/10 - It is near subway stations, but it's still kinda far to walk especially towards Ginza line. Asakusa line is the nearest. The nearest conbini is 2 streets away (Famimart) If you want a peaceful and quiet location, this is it. If you want to do something at night, Kuramae is dead at night, so try somewhere else. Staff: 10/10 everyone's helpful Room: 8/10 - It was comfortable with the bunk beds, however, there was no locker. There's only a small safe box which won't fit most of your precious items. Everyone can see your stuff. Luckily, I did not lose anything Cleanliness: 10/10 - Place was super clean
