SAKU REN Jimbocho Hotel

A cozy and nice place to stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to budget travellers.

This is a pretty cozy hostel in Jimbocho, Tokyo. It has an attached Cafe and operates 24/7. Staying in the shared rooms, the space is adequate and clean. Only downside is having to change out your door key daily. Towels and other amenities are available to rent for a cheap price and each bedspace comes with its own light and Japanese outlet (outlet is at the top of the space so make sure your plug or adapter can hold itself in the socket upside down). Comparatively close to Tokyo station where you can get to nearly anywhere in Japan. The main staff are fluent in English and other languages and won't give you a side eye if you come in jetlagged after a long flight and come off as probably a bit rude as I did. Definitely a recommendation I would give others if they're looking for a budget place to rest their head in Tokyo.

I stayed at the Jimbocho Sakura Hotel for 3 weeks. It was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in Japan. Always had a fresh yukata on my bed, my room was comfortable and the air conditioner worked wonders after coming in from the summer heat. The bathrooms/shower space was always clean. Overall I had a great experience at this hotel.

I loved my stay at the Sakura Hotel Jimbocho, the receptionists are smiling, pleasant and attentive, the decor with all these flags and all these photos illustrate a healthy, international and friendly, I met Lithuanians, passionate French by Japan like me, a Belgian and an Egyptian, these people have become my friends. The food offered is very good, diverse and reasonably priced. I particularly liked the hot chocolate, I have also taken several times. The rooms, although some are small, are comfortable, very well maintained and provide Yukatas allowing us a more immersive stay. Geographically, the hotel is located in a quiet little street that allows us to relax out of the noise of the city. At the entrance, we can see plenty of books and maps showing us activities and ideas of places to visit in Tokyo. This stay at Sakura Hotel Jimbocho has helped to strengthen my interest in Japan, which is my favorite country and if I have the opportunity, I will return.
