    The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

    Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

    Everything! It's the best hostel I have ever stayed in Tokyo so far. - I was a little afraid at first because the room I got is a mixed dormitory (snoring, etc.). But turns out it was really quite and everybody was so considerate. Shower and toilets are clean. The staff cleaned it quite frequently. - I like the fact that you can also store luggage under your bed!

    It is as described in the pictures, but a bit shabbier, less 'shiney'. Overall I enjoyed my stay, and the experience of it. It was certainly cheaper than hotels and I booked late so had few hotel options. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, although I should mention that I have a bad back anyway. The dormitory was safe, secure, all fellow guests I met were nice. The staff were all very nice. Very good bathroom facilities. All facilities well looked after, clean, working, and accessible. I would use it again.

    Siesta fostered a good clientele. Everyone was respectful of keeping quiet in the dormitory section, respectful in the bathroom, and friendly in the common room. The mattresses were large and didn't cover the entire capsule, leaving a nice space to store things. As with all hostels, I recommend bringing earplugs or headphones to suppress the general noise in the dorm. Capsules are better than bunk beds at sound suppression, but by no means perfect.

    Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
