Akasaka Guesthouse HIVE

The hostel is perfectly located within Tokyo and offers 2 metro stations close-by to reach different parts of the city very quickly. Also the quarter Akasaka itself is quiet and a supermarket and various convenience stores are nearby. Each floor has 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, which are enough for the dorms of approx. 18 ppl per floor. The cleaning is done daily and very diligently - even the mattresses etc are aired out. I liked that each dorm bed has a shelf + mirror, small clothes rail + hangers, as well as - compared to other hostels I stayed - a relatively large cabinet with lock to store a Rucksack and/or bag with valuables. The suitcase/backpack cannot be locked away, but stored towards the end of the room on a rack/shelf. I also liked the community space at the ground floor to socialise and heat up / eat food from outside. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. One can store luggage at the entrance prior arrival and post departure.

It was my first time trying to check in here in Japan, I was just searching for a place to get sleep for a night. I thought it would be hard for me to get one. But I'm glad I found this place. The staff receptionist is so nice and friendly. The place is good, even there are different people in a room, I get to have a good sleep. Arigato!

The location of the hostel is very convenient with multiple metro stations, convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The hostel is clean and the staff were very nice and helpful. I also met some nice travelers.

溜池山王、赤坂駅から近くて、周りはとても静かな場所でした。 内部の施設もよかったです。 １階にはいろんな人々が集まって話することができますし、 シャワーする時もあったかい水もちゃんと出ています。 泊まる部屋も特に汚れる感じは無かったです。 全体的に満足的な宿泊でした。 でも一番近いコンビニが歩いて三分ぐらいかかりますが、 結構寒い１２月とか、暑い７、８月だったらこれが悪いところになる可能性もあります。
