I am very grateful for being able to stay in this cheap and comfortable hostel in an expensive city like Tokyo. The hostel is very clean and smells nice. They also provide a big locker room for everyone. Located in the beautiful neighbourhood of Iriya which is close to all the major attractions in the city. All the staffs are really friendly and can speak good English. They even help you to keep the key so that you will not lose it when you go out. They have 24 hour reception which is uncommon in Tokyo and staffs always willing to help you. You can do laundry here too which is so convenient. I feel so sad to leave after staying for a week here. I always wish I could stay longer.

Some of the foreign guests here are inconsiderate talking loudly in the middle of the night and disturbing others but it's not the hostel fault. Some people are selfish and we can do nothing about it.

The bed was very comfy and the facilities were excellent! Everyone was super friendly and helpful and kind and it was a great location, only about a 5 minute walk from the subway station, and the bus to Nippori station was just around the corner, super accesible to the airport liner! It was a great time! The rooftop was quiet and had a beautiful view of Tokyo Skytree, a perfect place to chill out! I had a great time here and would totally stay here again!

It’s affordable and comfortable, and considerably near to a metro line though if it rains, there is no sheltered walkway. Place is clean and does not get too hot during summer as rooms are air conditioned. Place have a large locker and wardrobe away from the rooms. Hangers are provided. Face towel is good enough, no need for large towels which needs separate fee. Privacy is good with curtains. Book in advance as place gets snapped up daily!

Pillow is rather flat. I don’t smoke, but noted that smokers go to smoke in the staircase and the smoke gets blown into the lobby at level 8. Free baggage storage is only up to 6pm and an extra charge of 500yen per hour after. Got me thinking but moving out to use public lockers can be cheaper and save the time to detour back. Soap/shampoo/toothpaste not provided though one can buy them from the vending machine downstairs. Level 3 communal area for eating has no sink though there’s pretty of serviettes and wet wipes.

Nice staff. I particularly like the slightly anonymous nature of this place, with none of the backpack foreigner style useless chatting or hanging out at other hostels. Good place, has everything I need (except soap/shampoo which you have to provide yourself but no problem) and will use again for sure. Thank you!

Nothing, although there were two Taiwanese guests speaking so loudly in the smoking area (close to the sleeping area) that I heard their whole boring half hour conversation. (As I understand mandarin, I knew that they were from Taiwan).

Bigger capsules, great location, and they have air conditioning. Lots of bathrooms, showers, and sinks. Also, quite a few showers so no wait if it is busy. There are lockers in the building to store tour luggage/belongings. Staff is great and will correct an issue if you let them know.

The hotel was great, but I wish they would really enforce the noise rule after 10pm. Some 19-21 year old came in at 1am and wa smoking all kinds of noise with no regard for others and made it hard for me to get back to sleep. Also, there were some dried stains on the inside of the capsule; I did let the staff know...so again, that falls on the guests, not the Hotel. The Hotel and staff were excellent. If I had to say anything negative...bring your own pillow as theirs are small and flat.

Its a capsule, its everything you need and nothing else. There a little shelf at the head of the bed with a power outlet to charge your phone. A curtain separates you from the outside. Bathrooms and showers are down the hall, pretty clean. Each capsule comes with its own storage closet, enough for 2-3 suitcases. I payed $43 for 3 nights, perfect price! Would recommend.

- They give you a blanket but you have to put it in the duvet cover yourself. - You have to carry your shoes with you, its a bit annoying, would be nice if every capsule had a small cubby/locker on the first floor where you could leave your shoes.

A little Japanese helps, but Japanglish can get the job done at reception. Use the phone to call reception if they're away from the desk. You can change amenities for free everyday. I really like how a sanitary napkin is included in the women's amenities. It's a level of consideration I really appreciate. The women's floor is always air conditioned, there are plenty of showers and toilet stalls. The storage is very wide and includes hangers. You may get more hangers from the hanger area near the elevator. This hotel is a good value for all it offers, so it always books out quickly.

The dryer doesn't really dry and they don't give change for laundry. Use one of the laundromats around the area. Coin laundry 226 Goryusenten is a really good one.

Google Maps is essential for traveling in Japan! This hostel is in a very convenient location in Japan. I traveled alone, and this was a good environment. There were no issues with the shared bathroom. The area provides easy access to Ueno Park, Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, Akihabara, convenience stores, and more. I took the bus, but using Google Maps was easy! I just matched the bus number on the left side of the road and pressed the "stop" button when I wanted to get off. I only used public transportation because it was unnecessary to use anything else! Lastly, this hostel is for individuals who wish to travel most of the day and need somewhere to rest at night. There is a lounge, but I consider it a waste when parks are nearby! I also appreciated having a storage space to store my clothes and luggage! Interesting perks about the accommodation: - 24 Hour Reception - Free Face Towels - Baggage Storage (9:00 to 18:00) - Reasonable Check-In and Check-Out time - Friendly Staff - Personal storage area with lock and key - Good privacy - Common lounge Honestly, this hostel is very nice for the price paid! From safety to cleanliness, it was excellent! There were a few inconveniences, but it would ask a lot to expect more!

Although a few rules felt too many to follow, the guidelines were very sensible overall. The rules made it a comfortable environment for all, so I recommend staying here if you are okay with following a few rules! The shared lounge also seemed like its purpose was to eat quickly and leave (this was not an issue; I would have just liked for it to feel more open). The hostel does require a small amount of walking, but it should not be an issue. Another downside is that there is a small fee to rent a towel. However, this is very common in Japan. These are not issues; I just wanted others to know. Overall, for the price paid, this accommodation deserves high ratings. I would stay here again!

I had a great stay at 1 Night 1980 Hostel Tokyo during my trip. The location is very convenient, with easy access to public transportation, making it simple to explore the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space to relax after a long day. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for travelers looking for affordability and convenience in Tokyo.

No for this time.

This is a BUDGET capsule hotel. A place where you can leave your luggage on the large individual storage for the day while going out exploring Tokyo then return to sleep to go somewhere else tomorrow. I would say for the price, you get more than what you pay for considering the location is close to famous stations like Akihabara, Ueno, Asakusa. There is also a nearby convenience store and some 24-hour fast food for the night owls.

Although I don't think it is mandatory, exchanging the key for a card whenever you'll be going out is kind of a hassle, but I do understand it's to make sure we don't lose the key. Also, while they do have a washer/ dryer, even they recommend to just go to a laundry shop because the washer is weak? I hope they could have upgraded it instead.
