Wise Owl Hostels Shibuya

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.

-Very clean -Staff are friendly and helpful -Beds are comfortable and the hostel was pretty quiet when we went -Located in a nice area -Within walking distance of SHIBUYA city centre (20mins walk if you don’t mind walking). -Also very close to the coolest Starbucks ( Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo) I’ve ever seen that was recommended to us by the staff at the hostel. Would highly recommend for a hostel in Tokyo/ SHIBUYA.

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

I loved staying at Wise owl hostel! I even extended my stay and came back for my last day in Tokyo. All the receptionists were super helpful and friendly especially German! The location is great, close to Shibuya station/ crossing, there are supermarkets close and and all kinds of restaurants and stores. The price was good considering how amazing the facilities are, beds are comfortable, bathrooms and showers well equipped with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel (something I don't see often in hostels). 10/10 Will come back when I'm traveling around Japan again!!

Really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again if I come back to Tokyo! Felt very safe as a solo traveler, facilities were clean and room was comfortable. A lawsons right across the road for any late night snacks! There was a little changing room with sink inside the dorm room that was super handy also.
