New Tokyo Hostel

We booked 3 rooms. Party of 7. The pictures are extremely DECEITFUL. Actual rooms were FAR FROM PIC SHOWN. Gross bathrooms with cracked sinks, nasty showers with black slime in grout. Hallways were VERY STINKY of smelly oily food. You need to smell this stink for at least 15 mins while waiting for the elevator. This building has no service lift so you go up and down with the trash. And there is only 1 lift going to your floor (2 elevators, 1 going to even, and 1 going to idd # floors). Once we had to wait almost 1 hr and 15 mins because the cleaning maid was getting the trash from each floor and loading trash bags in the lift, disallowing anyone to get on. The management BYPASSES the lift requests by residents to PRIORITIZE TRASH. Someone had to call the elevator people to tell them to get us on- this was our FLIGHT day! SECURITY IS A PROBLEM. Anyone can go in/out of this building, got random knocks on doors from strangers at night that creeped us out. They use actual keys so who knows who has copies of these keys! We paid $185 for 3 nights booked 1 mo ahead. Price dropped to $130 days just 2 days to arrival because NO ONE WAS BOOKING!! Dont be deceived - they have different categories for the rooms, some more expensive bec theyre bigger, but when we got there - ALL ROOMS ARE THE SAME SIZE, ALL CRAPPY!! This is NOT a hotel. These are units owned by someone and he is milking these units for as much $ as he can while spending ZERO on needed repairs for the rooms.

Very comfortable room, with a private washroom in a wonderful location, that is close to transit and downstairs there are tons of cheap delicious restaurants. For the price i have zero complaints, and I would stay here again. Very friendly staff, and you will never be hungry.

Our room was much smaller than advertised

The location is perfect and very close to TST station and star ferry. We were not stopped at all by anyone at the entrance so dont really need to worry abt safety. We arrived at 9 pm and there was a long queue at block A and D. Make sure to look carefully which level you are going to as the queue are different. The room is small but its the norm for HK. Toilet is small but able to have a hot bath. Some area need to be cleaned though. Towels and toothpaste toothbrush are provided. No botttled water but microwave and hot water are available at the common shared area. Reception is at level 16 but rooms can be at other levels in blkD or C. Be sure to request for nearby rooms earlier if u book multiple rooms.

The place is very small but it is Hong Kong as we know. For the price I paid it is not bad place to stay for short period.
