Casual Cool ”
Relaxing quiet place with a cool chill music cafe below. Staff is friendly, helpful, and can speak English. Located near the metro with easy access to the airport, it’sa short bicycle or walk away is a bustling tourist area. Arrive at the hostel and chill. Very few drawbacks. It’s very clean (thorough daily cleaning) in the main sections despite dust in corners (?weekly/monthly special cleaning). Although a couple people might not realize they need to not only keep the conversation down in the sleeping space but also need to be careful with door slamming or crinkling paper in the dorm space, most of the guests are aware that they are in shared space so a restful sleep is usually possible. Have a simple breakfast in the morning with a uniquely delicious potato salad. Enjoy various flavorful coffees and chai while refreshing from the days journey or tour, do teleworking, read a book, watch the video film, or chat with friends. It’s a modest hostel but comfortable cozy and well located.

Thank you for your review again. We are very glad you really liked our lounge atmosphere and breakfast, drinks. About dust in corners, We'll clean it up and be careful not to gather them. We'll also keep our eye on and take care about some guests who do things which they are not supposed to in a dormitory room. We are looking forward to seeing you again! Sincerely, Focus Kuramae
Nice stay, exceptional staff”
I enjoyed staying with Focus for a few reasons. It was my landing pad for moving to japan before I found my apartment. So, my Japanese is still very limited. The private rooms are small but it is to be expected at a hostel for such an affordable price. The common showers and toilets are very clean and plentiful. The first floor cafe/lounge is cozy and relaxing. The ability to rent a camera for free is very cool too! What made my particular stay exceptional was that, while staying here, I tripped and broke my foot. I had only been in japan for four days and had no idea what to do. There was a lot of pain and confusion further complicated by my own tight schedule and jet lag. But the staff helped me immediately with ice and later finding a hospital for me, calling me a cab, and walking me to the cab. Once I was in my cast, they assisted me with my bags, navigating the building, and opening doors. They are excellent people who do very good work and I strongly recommend staying here.

HIPSTER HOSTEL CLOSE TO KURAMAE STATION”
Unfortunately we only had the pleasure to stay there for 5 hours so we can not rate the sleep quality. In general they were very kind to store our luggage from 10:30 until check in at 14:00 which is usually first granted from 15:00. A few people were hanging out in the lobby which is also the breakfast room and reception and kitchen. Everything looked very nice and well designed. The rooms (walled with pressed wood plates) are small but clean - windows can be opened. As in every hostel you have a couple of regulations: Slippers, mask, handwash, gurgle, etc.. There was only one shower cabin on the 3rd floor with shampoo provided. The washroom had three sinks so enough space for the people based on that floor. Fortunately they had an elevator as we arrived with 4 bags. Thanks for the stay and hopefully you stay open for the few travellers left during these times.

Local comfort”
Local area near tourist spot, with a small downstairs cafe. Walk to the tourist spots or bicycle. Small shared kitchenette allows light cooking. Friendly staff. Cool cafe has delicious coffee and tea. Sometimes the pleasant smell of hojicha fills the air. Seats at downstairs cafe are not free but worth the price of the coffee. Nonsmoking so the flavor of the coffee can be tasted. Relaxing music.

Cozy Place with Cafe”
Superb location, a short walk from tourist district but not right in the noise of it. It’s very comfortable for a simple hostel and except for some dust spots, very clean., There’s a small shared kitchenette but it’s adequate. You will need to pay to use the cafe side or get some curry but it’s worth it.

Relaxed”
Very nice with small kitchen and table space. People are normally careful about loud voices at night (signs request keeping voices down, thankful,y) BUT sometimes someone is NOT careful in the middle of the night or early morning with door slamming or shutting loudly. It makes a huge difference in a good sleep. Sadly there are no signs for this or cushioning on the door. This aspect of the facilities is a problem. People need signs to remind them and some cushioning is needed on the doors and maybe a sound buffer on the bottom of the door (a rolled up towels or clothes can help buffer the door banging. Apparently people late at night or early morning don’t realize what they are doing. On days when this doesn’t happen, the hostel allows good comfortable sleep. It’s a lovely space and near the historic district.

Excellent all around”
I had a pleasant stay there and would go back there again. It was easy journey from Haneda Airport (45 mins, 510 yen) with only one change (at Shinagawa). It also locates within easy walking distance from trendy food venues and buzzing Asakusa. I also managed to enjoy a stroll along Sumida-gawa (river). The only issue that I had was their 'no cash' policy. My oversea credit card didn't go through somehow to pay 200 yen, a charge to leave my large and heavy luggages at the front desk as I arrived s few hours earlier than check in time. It was resolved in the end but it would have been nicer if no charge as that's the usual case in many other hostels / hotels that I had stayed in my time. Although I was too tired to stay up to take an advantage of its lounge turning into an atmospheric lounge bar nighttime, it looked very chilled and groovy.

Cool Modern Hostel”
The hostel was really modern and had a cool feel to it. The staff were friendly and it felt secure. The only downside was the mattress in the double room we had, it was tired and sunk in the middle so not the most comfortable.

Thank you for staying at FOCUS KURAMAE. We are very happy to hear from you and glad you had such a wonderful stay with us. However, we are sorry about the mattress problem you had to deal with. We will consider renewing those mattresses. Thank you again for your review and hope to see you in your next visit. FOCUS KURAMAE
Reasonably priced hostel but also luck of the draw hostel”
I stayed in a mixed-dormitory for 5 nights and I loved the vibe of the hostel, however the bed I was given has let down my view of Focus Kuramae

If you are a remote worker, don't come here”
Highly not recommend. The staffs here are so unfriendly. If you arrived here earlier, then you can't stay here before checking in, even just staying in lobby is not allowed. Moreover, if you want to leave your heavy luggages here before you can check in, since they forbid you from staying there, you have to pay for extra 200 yen for leaving your luggages here. If you are remote worker, then here definitely is not a place for you. I was expelled as soon as I sat down. No one is allowed to use the common space which is the only place with tables. In addition, even though they imposed some rules during coronavirus pandemics for safety reasons, they didn't follow their own rules really well, and they provide a really crowded room, because they don't really care what will happen on you.

Thank you for your review and We are so sorry about that you were`nt satisfied with our service. Now It`s OK to stay at lounge until your checking in time(If it`s lunch time. we need to keep some seats for cafe but still there are some spaces.) It was a special occation because of corona virus, so sorry for unconvenient. Thank you for staying at our hostel. Focus Kuramae

Very nice staff and very clean place”
Thanks to the staff who was very nice. The place is very new and clean. The beds in dormitories are confortable. I definitely recommend this place! And one very convenient point, you have the Asakusa subway line which goes directly from Kuramae to Haneda Airport (If you have a Subway pass, you'll have to pay +300Yen when arriving at Haneda) and it takes about 45min
