4/10 Fair

The location is okay, close to the skytree Tokyo... however the hotel stairs is very narrow and no elevator and the room is tiny and no room for luggage even in the room, my backpack has to stay on bed. The staff was nice to allow us to leave the luggage there before the check in hour. The bed is uncomfortable, the whole floor is sharing one bathroom area. we booked 2 nights however I had to change to another place and simply forgot about the money I paid for the 2nd night. I didn't feel like wanting to shower after a hot humid sweaty day in the Tokyo summer...There's a tin box in the room will a long rope that can be used for one to escape from window in case of fire. It might be a good thing however looks pretty scary though. I feel like maybe need to act 007 one night. Don't feel safe due to the super narrow stairs. Would not recommend it unless you really want to save money. I would not stay there again for sure no matter what.

We stayed in the original Kangaroo. The aesthetics were cool and the price was dirt cheap but you get what you pay for. The showers were mouldy and sheets had stains. We opted for the bunkbed and were cramped. Most of the dining/lounge areas were sectioned off for some reason, which meant we huddled on our bed to eat any food we brought in. Combined with being a 15min walk from the closest subway station, it quickly became an unpleasant place to stay.

Area is nice and quiet, and there are convenience stores nearby and even a small Yakiniku place a short walk away. Biggest issue I had was the showers, which were poorly ventilated and had visible mold/mildew and damaged fixtures. Overall, a decent stay for the price, though the poorly maintained showers would make me hesitate to return, even with the lower prices.

6/10 Good

This is great if you’re on a budget and are okay with things being a bit uncomfortable. The area is okay, there’s two convenience stores not far from here, but the selection is a bit limited compared to other parts of Tokyo. The distance from Minami Senju station is about 900m. The general area is about a 2.5km walk to any close by landmarks, but it’s not a bad spot if you want to visit Asakusa or Akihabara. The main issues for me have been safety and cleanliness. There were people rattling on my door handle late at night and I kept my door slightly ajar at one point to grab a cup ramen and a man rattled on the door next to me then saw my door was ajar and opened it. The smile on his face as he said “oops” told me he was up to no good. This is not the fault of the staff, but like a previous reviewer said, keep your door locked even if you’re going out to the toilet. You can also hear people very clearly in the hallway at night, which is fine as long as people aren’t chatting out there at 5am in the morning. The other issue wasn’t so much with the room, but the bathroom. It wasn’t dirty, but there was a lot of mould and you have to hold down a button to use the water or it will keep stopping. I would recommend finding a bathhouse. The staff when they checked us in were great, but are only present at the desk during check-in between 4pm to 10pm I believe. I would recommend staying somewhere else if you’re travelling alone as a female.

2/10 Poor

To start of with the good, I think that the staff that we met were helpful despite their lack of English communication skills. However, for the amount that we paid for this "hotel", it was definitely a huge rip off. To start off, the thumbnail is misleading/non-existent at this point. The lobby area is blocked off and guests cannot use this area. Secondly, the rooms are really small, and arguably worse than even some capsule hotels despite the price they charge; we booked for a room meant for three, but the room was so narrow that luggage cannot be opened, the walkway becomes blocked and it feels unfair that they charge a room for three people for a room that clearly is meant to fit one person as a capsule room. This is even made more evident in that the room only has a single electric outlet for guests to use. Internet is also unreliable, and the description forgets to mention that washrooms are communal and is never mentioned on their expedia posting. They also did not mention that their laundry amenities is not free. Finally, some of their amenities do not work. For example our refrigerator was not working, as well as our thermostat. TLDR - Room is overpriced, description of their property is misleading, and property is rundown and amenities damaged.

Because there’s a gap between the door and the ceiling, you can hear everyone else on the floor very loudly. The showers are filthy, and the hallway in the room chambers also smell. My room also smelled like BO, so I’m wondering how often the rooms are cleaned throughly. The AC also smelled really bad and hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. The women’s bathroom was also closed on my floor so I had to go to the bottom floor everytime I wanted to use it. They did have a trash can and recycling bins, as well as a microwave on every floor which was nice. My room did have a small trash can, foldable table and hair dryer, but the refrigerator was very weak and barely worked at all. There was also a very small TV in my room which worked. It was very cheap but the same as the other hotels in the area so next time I’d rather stay in one of those.

The bed was nice and soft, super comfy! The rooms could use a bit more in terms of decor, currently you pretty much only have concrete walls surrounding you with couple of bolts added as coat hooks. Sadly the noise isolation in the rooms is on the bad side, and you can hear the discussions happening in the hall and neighboring rooms. The younger cleaning staff were nice and cheerful, but the front desk experience left a lot to be desired. If you check-in after 21.00, you will have an envelope taped to the front door of the establishment (which is also locked) on how to find your keys, there’s absolutely no staff staying at the hotels after that, so they’re not there to enforce the rules of silence, or help you out with any problems you may encounter. Also worth mentioning is that Kangaroo hotel “Side A” is completely unmanned, the reception and everything is over on side B The area is ok, but there are options available in the same area that are closer to the station, it takes about 15-20min walk from Minami-Senju station to the hotel. Overall enjoyable experience, but I do hope they would have someone on site to maintain silence and keep the check-in open

You get what you play for.
Stayed as a couple — wouldn’t recommend it for pairs; the rooms are just too small to unpack your luggage for stuff, and to sleep on the futon. We had the private twin room. Also, the bedding still had hair strands from the previous guest. Room noise is quite good, in that others inside their rooms won’t hear you if it’s within 40 dB, but outside in the lobby, everything can be heard. The lobby is a massive echo chamber, just saying. Wifi for 2nd floor was shut down at 1am for some odd reason, then came back online in the morning. Location isn’t the greatest for touring, and food. You also have to trek a long flight of upstairs everything time you need to get to the nearest station. Front guest and interaction with staff was great! Phenomenal customer service. It’s a shame that a hotel with great service is crippled by its location and physical dimensions. We recommend this hotel for solo budget travellers. Couples and pairs — please move on.

Tiny room with no private bathroom but super cheap
Checking in and out was relatively easy. I did not know that this was a hostel type of hotel but with individual rooms. If I were by myself, no problem, but I was with my mom who was uncomfortable. It's cheap though and that's the bonus as I had more funds to spend on delicious food.It's an 11 minute walk to a train station, or just 30 minutes to Asakura station. There are several restaurants nearby, some that speak Japanese only but download google translate and make sure you have cash. Cash in Japan is uber important. There's a grocery store 2 minute walk, on the main street. There's corner stores and 711 is nearby as well. Not a bad place if you're looking for a very cheap place to spend the night and don't mind tiny cramped rooms to save money. Also, if you don't mind walking.
