Overall, CITAN was the perfect hostel for me and my group while we stayed in Tokyo. The facility is clean, convenient in that it’s walking distance from the train station and 24/7 stores such as 7-11, and it’s managed by friendly and professional staff. Would highly recommend if you want easy access to other neighborhoods such as Shibuya, while maintaining a peaceful and quiet stay after a long day in the busking city.

This was the last stay of your 10 day trip. We stayed in hotels before this and those were great, but small. This gave us the option to have a little more space in our own room even if that meant having a shared bathroom.
We picked this place because we wanted to have access to their coffee shop , bar and dining as a convenience before leaving to the airport.
Staff was great!!

This my favorite hostel in Tokyo. I wish I would have known about sooner. The location is close to many subway lines so it’s ideal if you plan to be active while in Tokyo. The staff were very nice and spoke excellent English. The dining area/public area were a good place to rest after a long day of walking and to converse with other travelers. My only complaint and it being very minor is the room that I stayed had window shades that didn’t cover the entire window. This made sleeping past sunrise very difficult. Overall I can’t suggest this hostel enough. It exceed my expectation.

The cafe attached the hostel was a really nice to have in the morning. The bartender at the restaurant was great and gave me some recommendations for later in my trip. The location is a little quieter than other parts of Tokyo which I liked. Met lots of cool people during my stay. I’d definitely come back.

청결하고 역과 가까운 위치, 엘레베이터 있음.
엄청 청결합니다. 지하 분위기도 너무 좋습니다. 근데 아침10시에 환기하느라 한시간 내내 문을 다열어놓아서 엄청숩습니다. 너무 추워서 참다가 그냥 닫았습니다.

Välskött hostel med god frukost att köpa. Rummen små, lite industrial chic. Notera att WC och duschar inte finns i rummet, utan på våningsplanet, men på ett plan finns så få rum att inget praktiskt problem.
