Grids Tokyo Nihombashi East Hotel&hostel

This property is situated 3 -5 minutes away from the Higash-Nihombashi / Bakurocho metro station by walking. Direct trains to/from Shinjuku / Haneda Airport / Narita Airport are available which makes the overall trip less hassle. A middle size supermarket is in 5 mins walk. Two 24/7 convenience stores are just right at the corner. The neighbor was really quiet after rush hours which guarantees good sleeping quality. Living-wise here is indeed a superb option within the city. Breakfast was incredible! Although everyday was the same, they offered various foods and made it like a buffet. Drink refill is available should you want more than one cup. The space in the property is nicely organized. It offers enough shower rooms and bathrooms into each floors. The public space is well equipped for preparing instant food. Regarding tourist info, a lot can be found near the front desk. We were in the family room with 2 top down bunk beds and a private toilet (no shower). The room is not big and can be overwhelmed given that members all bring 25 inches or bigger suitcases.

One remark for this property was the elevator. There was only one elevator sending people up and down. Sometimes it could take 5 minutes to even get down from 2nd floor to the ground. Preferably the existing stair can be opened during rush hour as to offer a more efficient vertical transportation. The other remark was about the public space. It’s pack during rush hours provided that the space / table available is much less than people they can accommodate. A valid suggestion for breakfast would be to plan it earlier than usual to avoid crowd.

The breakfast was absolutely wonderful especially being an all you can eat buffet. Kind staff and a very clean place with lovely bathrooms etc.

The little bed cubby’s got way too hot and didn’t appear to have good ventilation. Wouldn’t sleep with covers on even though it was the middle of winter when we stayed.

One of the best cost-benefit options I've had in Japan, so I visited it again after years traveling in the country. It's a very good capsule hostel in a central location with decent breakfast. Nice staff and access to almost everything you should visit in Tokyo. Plus direct subway/train to Narita airport. Prices are fare and worth the value. Will be back soon.

Location, bedroom, breakfast,

great location. near stations. can take direct train to the airport.

a little bit inconvenient for showering. needs go downstairs.
