Wise Owl Hostels Shibuya

It's convenient, quite clean, there's space to put your luggage before the late check in time, an elevator, a bar downstairs, few showers and few bathrooms, few washrooms on the floor. Theres even a little kitchen. The staff is friendly. The bathrooms and showers are okay, clean at times. it really shows that the cleaners are trying to keep it as clean as possible, it's just that the travellers do not clean up after themselves and lack respect in every way. :( Please do not be like that:) theres also ac, hangers, lamp, little locker and a shelf in the capsule.

The location is awesome, with it being a close walk to the train station, as well as the middle of Shibuya, but far enough away to be very quiet. The staff were delightful and always happy to help. Everything was always super clean and comfortable, and the access to the washer and dryer was very handy. They attempted some hostel activities, with a gyoza class one night when we were there. The area downstairs is comfortable and they don’t mind you bringing in your own drinks from the Lawson across the road. It’s not a massive hostel vibe, but it’s nice and people sometimes chat.

The location was easily reached from Shibuya station, you can either choose to walk around 15 mins or take a bus for 2 bus stops. There is also a subway station on another line that is near the property too. The Wifi provided in the location was good too, no issues when using it. The staff was also helpful with assisting me with filling up the form for luggage delivery, which can then be sent through the nearby Family Mart, but do take note not to do it too last minute.

Google Maps is essential for traveling in Japan! This hostel is in a very convenient location in Japan. I traveled alone, and this was a good environment. There were no issues with the shared bathroom. The area provides easy access to the Hachiko Memorial Statue, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Shibuya Sky, Shibuya Crossing, Milky Way Cafe, convenience stores, and more. In addition, I was able to visit TeamLAB planets, Tokyo Skytree, Takeshita Street, Tokyo station, and karaoke! I took the bus and trains, but using Google Maps was easy! I just matched the bus number on the left side of the road and pressed the "stop" button when I wanted to get off the bus. I only used public transportation because it was unnecessary to use anything else! Lastly, this hostel is for individuals who wish to travel most of the day and need somewhere to rest at night. I also initially used coin lockers from the train stations to store my luggage before reaching the hostel. There is baggage storage available, though. Interesting perks about the accommodation: - Stairs to bunkbed (rather than typical ladders found in capsule hotels) - Reasonable Check-In and Check-Out time - Friendly Staff - Plenty of storage area for bags - Good privacy - Common lounge - Easy check-out - Lock and Key to store valuables in bed area

Staff went above and beyond: so helpful and caring. Really appreciated communications in the lift to inform about events and things to do. I love the style of it. Booked a twin room: it was so compact that for some it could feel a bit claustrophobic. I reckon the space was cleverly designed to grant comfort in a space saving way. Everything was super clean although the ceiling pipes and rails need to be dusted off a bit more often.
