Tsubame has several clean bunk-bed rooms with clean shared toilets, bathrooms and 1 kitchenette with fridges. Rooms with1 bunk-bed or 1 bunk-bed + 1 single bed with thin mattresses. Bunk-bed is good for 1 person, with 2 it becomes wobbly and a bit noisy.
Interesting fact:
- you can hear footsteps, noises from hairdryer, from microwaves in the hallways but not noises from streets!
- no-lock entrance door makes you feel scared if you have to go to toilet during the night on first night.
It is closed to Asakusabashi station, 1 station to Ryogoku/Akihabara stations, not far from Asakusa temple, Sky Tree, Tokyo/Ueno stations,...
Nice clean room. A lil cramped for 3 persons with big luggages. It is well insulated in the winter. Near to Asakusabashi Station. Also near to several convenience stores. Overall a great stay here.
Quiet, close to the station. The beds were a little hard but the shared bathrooms were clean. The walls were very thin though so our neighbors having a phone conversation could be heard in the next room.
Nice clean place to stay. Worth the value. Located near the train stations. There are nearby convenience stores. Helpful staffs. Room has good insulation during winter.
Everything is very very clean. You know bc you can smell the bleach haha. The rooms are very simple, beds and a desk with a rack to hang your coats. You rent the towels for 100 yen. The shower/toilet/sink is shared with other guests on your floor. Our stay was very quiet. There are multiple cafes and food places around, and you are close to the JR station, only a short walk away. This is not a luxury hotel by any means, but it is a great hostel if you are young and on a budget. :)
