About

&And Hostel Asakusa Kappabashi - Tokyo

&And Hostel Asakusa Kappabashi sits in the quiet Matsugaya neighborhood, a 7-minute walk from Kappabashi-dori and close to Tawaramachi station. The hostel balances the feel of a guesthouse with hotel-like touches: private rooms with their own bathrooms, a shared kitchen and lounge, and a lift. The area is residential and peaceful, with konbini and shops nearby.

Rooms are compact but well-designed, with air conditioning, heating, and an air purifier in some. The hostel provides luggage storage, laundry, and 24-hour security. Despite the name, it's run more like a small hotel, and guests consistently call out the friendly staff and spotless conditions.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 23:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.

“The cleanliness was exceptional – one of the cleanest places I've stayed in Japan. The room was small but cozy, enough for the two of us. The location was more rural but close to Asakusa and easy for getting around the eastern part of the city. Staff were friendly and made us feel at home. The room had air conditioning, an air purifier, and plenty of outlets. There was absolutely nothing I disliked.”
