About

Space Hostel Tokyo

Space Hostel Tokyo is a 2-star hostel in the Taito-Ku area, with just 16 rooms. It sits a minute's walk from Iriya tube station and about 5 minutes on foot from Akiba Shrine. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, with a common area and kitchenette where guests can hang out and share travel stories.

The hostel keeps things simple but comfortable: private curtains on dorm beds, individual lamps and charging points, lockers for valuables, and well-maintained showers with free soap and shampoo. The staff are known for speaking excellent English and seem genuinely happy to help. If you're arriving from Narita, the location is handy, and Ueno Station and Senso-ji are within easy reach.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Immaculate cleanliness throughout — Guests consistently mention how spotless the hostel is, from the dorms to the shared bathrooms.
  • Staff who genuinely go the extra mile — The team speaks excellent English, offer free iron loans, and are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming.
  • Location that works for both arrival and sightseeing — A minute from Iriya Station, with Ueno Station and Senso-ji within easy reach, and a 100-yen shop nearby. Handy if you're coming from Narita.
  • Thoughtful dorm design — Privacy curtains, individual lamps and charging points, and lockers in each bed make the shared rooms feel more private.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms are the norm — Only some dorms come with a shower in the room; most guests use the well-kept communal showers, which some may find less convenient.
  • Hostel etiquette takes getting used to — One guest noted that adjusting to hostel etiquette, such as quiet hours and shared spaces, takes a little time.
  • No on-site parking — The hostel does not list parking facilities, so if you arrive by car, you'll need to find a public lot nearby.
  • Check-in window is relatively short — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight aren't accommodated.

“The private quadruple room was spacious and clean, with individual lamps and charging points for each bed. The curtains gave privacy, and the lockers were handy for storing things. The showers on the second floor were clean and well-maintained, with separate changing areas. We never had to wait for a shower, and the soap and shampoo provided were a nice touch. The location was perfect, with subway and train stations within a short walk, and convenience stores and restaurants just a few minutes away. Staff were friendly and helpful—we could borrow an iron and ironing board for free.”
