Dormicafe K Guesthouse

My friends and I stayed in the 6-guest bedroom for 1 night. Location: Great location, 2 minutes from Asakusa station on Tsukuba Express Line that is accessible from Akihabara station. One of the staffs contacted us to send an instruction about how to self-check in and a photo of the exact location a few days prior to our arrival at the accommodation, as the location of the accommodation is different to the one listed here. The staff was also very helpful and replied to emails quite promptly. Accommodation: It was okay. We had to climbed up the stairs up to the 5th floor with our big luggages as our room was on that floor. Highly recommended to travel lightly if you wanna stay here. There were only 2/3 bathrooms, but 1 toilet for each floor to be shared among all the residents. It was manageable for us as we arrived quite late at night and we left in the morning. There was a small towel, a blanket and a pillow provided.

We never met staff/receptionist on this guest house, communication only by email though her respons was good. Very small room, less light and facilities. Room's location and picture was different from the information in Agoda. I will not consider to stay at this again next time... Very bad room but location near to MRT and food street.

Too far from train stations. Rooms have no locks. Not worth it

No amenities at all, rickety double-decker beds, dirty common area... I don't think they even clean the hostel. Do not stay here at all cost.

Very dirty bathroom. Dirty floor. Rooms smell like feet mixed with unwashed blankets. The room has no lock and no key. Leave stuff here at your own risk.

The address of the hotel is not accurate. The owner will send you an email instructing you to go to a different and confusing location. The room number will also change once you reached the dorm. There's a day that the toilet didn't work. There's only 2 bathrooms to be shared by 3 floors. The towel is a joke. The whole facility is soon dirty. The owner seldom comes to the facility. We stayed there for 3 nights. No room lock or keys.

location wise, this is smack in the middle of the town with access to trains and busses. however, thats just it. i have to climb 5 floors to my room, and this is after my trip to mount fuji. hence the leg pain was unbearable. the place is crowded with beds stacked double deck to accommodate guests and for a 5 floor compact place, only ONE shower room, and TWO toilets, for all to use. The Dryer is completely useless. and Tenant charge extra for the use of the iron. There's no hook/ place to hang towels and clothes in the room either. No dustbin also, only one at the common area for all. For a group or family traveling, this place will not suit you. But if you are a single traveler, and just looking for place to sleep for the night, this may be your cheapest option, although i am not sure you can have a comfortable sleep with the open style whereby you can hear other occupants snoring sounds and all. Definitely NOT for couples to display PDA, for all will see (and hear!)

Only good thing is location. But location is different from the address in website. You will get the email from the guest house owner after booked. We have to share toilet and shower room regardless gender and there is just one toilet and one dirty shower room in each floor. The room(3F) was very dark especially bed 1 to bed 5. You need to use flash. There is no socket near the bed. You need to charge battery around the table. Last thing, you can borrow one towel but that is face towel. No bath towel. I don’t want to stay this guest house any more

The owner is kind and accomodating. The place is good for budget travelers, and the location superb. Although the actual place where you will stay is not the same as the yellow house posted, still the location is okay.

I travelled to the hostel very long ago andl still remember the day arrive and there is no people at the reception and the local police office do not known how to contact the owner (the police call the owner telephone number and there is NO ONE REPLY ) , so l booking another Hostel in the center of Tokyo, the neighbor is very helpful and they are try to contact the owner, but it is not works.

after my booking, I was then sent another address which is different from that stated in agoda. it was opposite seiyu in asakusa. I had a hard time finding the place because my map did not show the area number etc. So for people heading there, search for seiyu instead. Not too far from asakusa station. but narrow stairway and quite crowded. rooms are partitioned meaning there is a gap on top and not walls so you can hear people's conversation and be woken up whenever someone checks in, flushes the toilet etc. bedsheet has to be laid ourselves.

very bad to stay at this hostel, self check in without email and notification. When I got to the yellow building, no one in cafe and no one pick up the phone call. I kept email to them and I wait almost 2hours. they gave me a new address to check in but so difficult to find that place. this hostel no management no staff, and bathroom no lock, and front door will be locked at 11:30pm, and you may not find the key to get in. 16peoples to use one toilet and one bathroom. please considerate when you want to book the bad hostel.

If your on a budget or a backpacker, I recommend this place. We stayed on Dormicafe K2, which is hard to find if you don’t have access in the internet. There’s no one to ask when we arrived. Everything is emailed to us before we arrive. The place is clean, near subway. Nice bed, clean toilet & shower, but lacks other facilities like free water or hot water if you want to drink. The doors have no lock. Overall i still recommend this place if only want a place to sleep and you’re in a tight budget.

Since the kids are young, it is not really a good choice to stay here. Anyway, it's close to the metro.

- No reception desk, no staff. -Main entrance is not closed during the night (never, actually). There is no place to lock your luggage. No keys to the door. Not safe at all. - Sleeping room is rather a corrindor that actual room (no keys, people need to pass next to your bed when they need to go to upper floor). - The room is dirty. Once we found a dead cockroach on the floor. - Bathroom is dirty and clutterd and there is a big hole in door for air flow, but other guest can see you naked if they want. - Not enough lights on the seeling (no lights next to your bed). There are 2/3 seeling lights - 2 directed to common space (table) ale one almost in someone bed space. - Those curtains are very thin, someone can touch you during sleep if he wants. - My bed sheets didn't smell like clean ones. We changed place during our stay. It was a little bit too much. We were sleeping in hostels like that in Japan before. No hostel was as bad as this one. I don't recommend it.

bedbugs in the bunk beds, no security for our stuffs, no way to contact the owner even by pagoda for a refund, and the most important : the smell, a mixture a dust, humidity and consistent strong smell of smoke coming up the room from somewhere, I don't even know if it is safe. to avoid absolutely especially if your allergic to dust and asmathic, the smoke will make you suffocate. I paied 80ish euros for 5nights there, and didn't even stay there, of course no refund! for the price you can.have waaay better even in.Tokyo. anyway, just : run away!!

While in a great area, this place was not as advertised. The pictures are of somewhere else, the wifi has no internet because nobody plugged it into the ethernet. The door that is supposed to be locked never is, the staff member who is supposed to be there also never is (my friends and I thought she might be an escort too). Some people's money has gone missing, and there is no safe place to store valuables. While against the rules, someone was also smoking in the rooms (since no staff there means that no consequences), I had to buy a mask so I could breathe clean air when I slept. Im also pretty sure there were bed bugs. Was also almost impossible to get in touch with the host, whom had decided to give away some of the beds a friend of mine had paid for. Definitely not even worth the little we paid for it.

This is the most bad stay ever in my life. Among over 50+ oversea trips so far, my stay at this hostel is worst ever. The hostel is not located at the yellow house but it's on different location. The room is not made for sleeping, it's kind of traditional massage rooms that they adapt to be a hostel. Cannot sleep as will hear people walking and chit chat which so noisy. My 3 nights stay, I cannot have good sleep at all.

The owner Ms. Asako was very accomodating. Her place was wonderful and clean. Pros: She was kind enough to allow us to leave our luggage before check in and after check out. Many restaurants and shops nearby as it is located near Sensoji Temple and Tokyo SkyTree. Nearest train station Asakusa: With direct access to Narita Airport Perfect for budget travellers for its cheap price. Cons: There was no Signage "DORMICAFE K GUESTHOUSE" outside the apartment so may find it hard to locate the right place so ask Ms. Asako or google the place in advance. Good Deal!!! I'd loved to book this place again.

Place is clean. However I would not recommend this for familybwith young children. The noise can be heard on other rooms as the wall are not from the ceiling to the floor. There is an open space on the walls. Also the 10pm deadline to check in is very strict for us since sometes, you want to party more late at night in Akihabara. But the deadline is because of the main doors are locked. By the way, the 3rd floor is a dormitory for bedspacers. That's why be quiet when going to the 4th floor as others might be sleeping already. . Also there is no elevator so if you have big luggage you will have a hard time to put it on the 4th floor. I can say that this place is only for backpackers who just need a place to sleep.
