Wasabi Mita Hotel

I paid like $140 to stay in the ladies dorm section of the hostel for 4 nights. I was honestly pretty impressed! There were almost 40 beds in the room, but it didn’t smell bad, and I wasn’t bothered by anyone making noise. I can’t sleep when I’m too warm, so I opened my curtain a few inches to ensure I’d get airflow from the air conditioner, which worked well. The bed and pillow are fairly comfortable, although slightly thin (I could kinda feel the wood underneath, but I still slept okay). Also, the light was on all night, so I’d recommend bringing a sleeping mask. Honestly though, I’ve had much worse in other hostels. Speaking of which, the amenities here were great! They provide towels (which you can throw in the laundry basket and get another if you like), a toothbrush and a tiny bit of toothpaste, earplugs, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Check-in was super easy. There’s a person at the desk from 3-9pm(or is it 11?), but it doesn’t really matter because you check yourself in using the iPads next to the desk. That’s how you get the code to your room and your bed number. Everything was super clean and I felt safe. It was about a 15 minute walk to the Mita train station, and getting into the various parts of the city was easy using Google maps. Also, there’s a tasty soba place called Fuji Soba that’s like right next to the station. I got some good udon and curry there. This was a last minute trip for me and I don’t speak any Japanese, but I was able to get around easily, and the people are very nice.

The room is easy to find. The room was spotless clean,and comfortable. Very reasonably priced. I had the bunk beds. The room served me well for my work training days. The bathrooms were clean and my room had a nice hot shower. I could open my window for fresh air. I highly recommend. Nothing

I struggled with the check-in process. I was surprised to find that a phone number and email address I had never heard of were registered for my reservation. Since it was my first time using an unmanned check-in, I had a hard time, but it seemed others were struggling too, and they called for staff, so I took the opportunity to ask for help. (There was a sign saying staff were absent, but they seem to be around most of the time.) Although there was no bed-making during my consecutive stay, it wasn't an issue for me. Since the train tracks were nearby, I was concerned about the noise, so I went to the counter to get earplugs. I was able to receive enough for everyone in my group. There were plenty of washing machines available, and I didn't have to wait to use them. They also sold detergent and fabric softener for a fee. I had brought my own from home, so I didn't know how they were sold, but I thought it was reasonable. Regarding the room, the bunk beds didn't shake or make noise, and I was able to sleep comfortably. It was the middle of summer, with outdoor temperatures exceeding 30°C, but inside it was even a bit cold without air conditioning. The room had a shower, which was very helpful for staying warm. Since I stayed multiple nights, I thought it would be helpful to be able to borrow either a vacuum or a mop. There was always someone in the basement, which provided opportunities to interact with international guests, and I had a great time. Personally, considering the cost-performance ratio, I was able to stay gratefully without worrying too much about minor issues, which I thought was good. The cheap construction has its charm, and I liked it. I would like to use this place again!
