Citan Hostel

Friendly helpful staff. Excellent coffee. Comfortable room.

Cleanliness Good service Good food

Great vibe. Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. Close to subway and within walking distance of many attractions.

I loved to had a good coffee every morning from the coffee shop on the building and a good beer at night before go to bed (from the bar downstairs).

Cheap and comfortable. Only stayed one night, only came to sleep. Bed and pillow was comfy.

The beds are just separated by curtains, so you are at the mercy of your fellow travelers for quiet sleep. I got lucky in the female dorm.

Loved the place! Location is great, not in the noisy part of Tokyo, yet not remote and all I needed was in a walking distance. The staff was so nice, and the overall atmosphere and vibe of the place was awesome. Also, the facilities were great, so clean and tidy.

Common area was nice. Bathrooms were clean. Bed was comfortable.

Was difficult to make my bed as it was on the top bunk. There is a lot of noise at night, and you can encounter snoring. Since the bunks are connected, movement in the bottom bunk will move the top bunk too.

The location was great. The room was big enough and clean enough.

The shower never reached a hot enough temp which was not great during the cold days.

Great location and easy communication

Too little shower rooms

I love the neighborhood and the number of lines in walking distance, good conviece store options

Like many hotels in Japan, staying in November meant only heater setting for air conditioning, so that was a little rough, lockers are a little confusing, but work good for small items.

I’d heard about this hostel a long time ago and really wanted to try it. It’s famous for its bar, music, and community vibe and I can see why. I really liked the atmosphere downstairs and the friendly, welcoming staff.

Unfortunately, the property feels quite old, and it’s been open for a while without much renovation. I stayed in the upper bunk, which was very close to pipes and other fixtures; it didn’t feel particularly safe or clean.I also noticed that the duvets weren’t properly washed between guests; they were just aired out for a few hours before being reused. I’m honestly surprised there haven’t been hygiene issues yet.Considering the price, I expected the place to be cleaner and more modern. It’s quite average overall. You also have to make your own bed and duvet, and the duvet cover only covers one side, leaving the rest exposed to previous guests.I didn’t sleep well, maybe because I didn’t feel comfortable. Next time, I’ll choose a place with a proper ceiling and a fresher, more hygienic environment.

Staff were friendly and hospitable. There was a bar downstairs and you can get coffe and breakfast at the first floor in the morning.

Not the hostel's fault. But there was someone who threw up in the 2nd floor's male shower changing room (and in 2 out of 3 of them)when I stayed there. Dunno who, but please, if you want to throw up after drinking or not feeling well, find a toilet or a sink at the very least.

Staff was amazing!

The private room was very expensive for what you get. My room in San Francisco on my way out to Tokyo was $40 cheaper, two times bigger, and had a private bathroom.

Convenient location

I went to the specified room and bed to find someone else sleeping there, I went back to the reception and told them this and they arranged another bed for me, but I had specifically requested a bottom bunk and they said they ran out even though they had accepted the request when I booked.

The coffee and bar were really good

It wasn’t clean, sound traveled so you heard everything

I liked everything. It exceeded my expectations.

Everything was excellent, but If it had a bigger common area would be better, many people need to use their laptops and was a little bit difficult to find a place to sit when I needed to eat food there. Also common kitchen area is very very small, perhaps you can only make coffee and heat some ramen. It's not bad but just be aware of that.

Clean, comfortable, nice staff

The place is so clean and the staff was so nice.The hostel also has a nice stylish vibe to it with a bar/cafe attached in case you want to meet people.

Nothing really tbh

Check in and check out were easy. The beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly.

Rooms not overly spacious but ok. The bathrooms were meh.

Wonderful bathroom and shower facilities, a comfortable bed, and nice breakfast options. It's a hip place with an industrial vibe, but the staff are welcoming and helpful. Laundry detergent is provided, laundry is 300, dryer is 100 for 30 minutes.

Only suggestion is to have a carpet beneath the sink in the private rooms. The cement floor is very hard and not super welcoming, and since the rooms are tiny you have to make use of all the floor space for luggage, etc!
