Sakura Hotel Jimbocho

Sakura Hotel is a hidden gem. The staff were incredibly helpful and we honestly had zero issues during our stay. We were there for 9 nights so we made ourselves feel right at home. Having your own room as a group with 4 people is amazing at a hostel and the beds were fairly comfy (long enough for a bunch of Canadians over 6 ft tall I might add). The location is honestly perfect and I had my doubts but the station is literally around the corner along with 5 or 6 convenience stores within a 2 minute walk. One of the best parts is that in Jimbocho there aren't alot of tourists so you really feel as if your in Japan and not tourist town. I would stay here again, great value for money.

Everything was perfect from the very beginning; staff was very kind and always there for every doubt we could have. I was really close to the Jimbocho station and many convenience stores, pharmacies and local food restaurants. Rooms were always clean and whenever you got inside the lobby, there was always a cozy environment for everyone to enjoy and get to know new people from different places or even nice enough to hang around or even work from time to time. We even made some new friends and found people from our own country.

The staff were amazing! They were very patient and friendly and were able to speak good English. The location is close to the Jimbocho station which is connected to different lines which makes tourist areas very much accessible. Take note that there are exits with elevators/escalators however the nearest exit to the station only has stairs, if you want an exit with escalator/elevator, just cross the road, it is also not too far. There were also nearby local restaurants with affordable prices, some closes early tho. Convenient stores are also close by, the closest is the Family Mart which is only a few walks away. A grocery store is also a walking distance away, but have limited selections. There are also convenient vendo machines nearby, but the hotel also has a cafe which you can order. They have free flowing iced coffee and water, even at night. For breakfast, they serve basic toast with various jam flavor and butter, soup was okay, hot coffee was good. The room was a bit small tho, if you are planning to bring luggages, but the beds and comforter was comfy enough for a restful evening. The shower is okay, serves hot water with free body wash and shampoo, but if you are taller than average asian or of bigger built, it may feel a bit too tight. They have house rules of what time you are only allowed to use the hairdryer, so the area, even if shared, is quiet. They also have an affordable self-service laundry at the basement. They also have a walking distance ABC Mart, for sneaker heads. It was a pleasant stay and would love to be back.

I had an amazing experience staying at this hotel in a shared dormitory! Despite being a dormitory setup, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of privacy offered. The space is thoughtfully designed, ensuring that every guest has a sense of their own personal area. The cleanliness was impeccable — from the dormitory to the common areas, everything was spotless and well-maintained. It truly added to the comfort of my stay. The staff deserves a special mention. They were incredibly supportive and went out of their way to assist with any questions or needs I had during my visit. Their hospitality made the experience even more memorable. One of the best aspects of this hotel is its fantastic location. Being so close to the Jimbocho metro line made commuting across Tokyo incredibly convenient. Whether you're exploring iconic landmarks or hidden gems, this location is perfect for getting around the city efficiently. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially if you're looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay with great amenities and accessibility.

The room was only 4 persons, and the shower and the toilets were right next to the bedroom. The people working were nice. It was clean. Jimbocho is a good area to walk from if you want to visit neighboring places.
