A simple, cozy hostel with lovely views of the Sumida River, the Azumabashi Bridge, the Asahi Beer world HQ and the Tokyo Sky Tree. Walking distance from Senso-ji temple, the Sky Tree, and many other landmarks. I've stayed here twice now, and it's a lovely gem among the bustle of the Asakusa district of Tokyo. Bedrooms are spartan as one should expect from a hostel, but always clean and comfortable. The room I stayed in even had its own patio facing the river. My favorite part about Chapter Two is its rooftop patio, which gives a breathtaking view of the riverside, and is quite a lovely spot to kick back a couple of Super Drys with your travel companions. The folks managing this place are very accommodating as well. 100% recommend if you're looking for a good stay in Asakusa without breaking the bank.

great hosts.
The people working there are super friendly and have great recommendations for food and other things to do around the area. The rooftop terrace is a great place to relax as well.

Hostel is cozy. They serve some slices of breads and jam in the morning and it is useful to fill empty stomach. Hosts are friendly. Hostel is 1-2 minutes by foot to metro/subway station (Asakusa and Ginza line) direct access to airport.

Best and perfect guesthouse
I stayed more than 20 guest houses around here and this is the best one so far. Stylish, clean, (relatively) spacious, and confortable. Especially I liked the stairs to the upper bed, which was very easy to climb. There is room for the suitcase and the coat for each person. Free bread and eggs available for breakfast. Close to the station.

Amazing location next to Sumida river
Hosts were amazing and considerate, speak great English and incredibly friendly. Location is amazing, being right next to Sumida river, Asakusa and local transit. There's a padio and even a roof top! Place just opened in March 2018 and is in outstanding condition. Only lacks an elevator but 10/10 would stay again.

Great all round!
First time in a hostel so wasn't expecting much but it was absolutely fantastic! The owners were very friendly and kept the must haves(towels, water, washing equipment) in stock. The rooms were clean and fresh, and some had a direct view to the lovely river behind it. Beds were comfortable with thick 'pooffy' duvets. There was a small lock box for valuables in each capsule. The capsules them selves were airy and felt open and at no point felt I was in a cat box or clostrophobic. Overall atmosphere was lovely and the other guests seemed trustworthy. The icing on the cake is that it's by a main line which gets you anywhere in Tokyo in under 40 minutes! 10/10 will be staying here again on my next trip to Japan.

clean, beautiful place
place is pretty clean, actually more clean and beautiful than shown in pictures! hosts are very kind and hospitable. I must say very hardworking too as I have seen them cleaning day and night. Place is very near to asakusa tourist spots so with the price per night this place offer is really a bang for buck! as a bonus, they have rooftop setup for us to chill out and enjoy the view of sumida river and tokyo sky tree!

Wonderful time!
The hostel has a great location directly beside the Sumida river! You can see the Tokyo Skytree from there and the Sensoji Temple is only 10 minutes walking away. The owners are very nice and helpful, they can speak English very well so it was easy to get recommendations for restaurants! The hostel itself is clean and stylish!

조금 불편한 공간
숙소는 깨끗합니다. 그러나 워낙 작고 낡고 방음이 안되는 건물입니다. 관리 문제가 아니라 건물자체가 작은 대지 위에 3층으로 좁게 지어져서 오르고내리기가 불편하고 작은 소음도 그대로 전달됩니다. 사진이 잘 찍혀있습니다.가서 보면 현실은 조금 다릅니다.공용룸(1층 식사공간)도 작고 관리인과 그의 지인들이 차지하고 있으면 게스트 들이 들어갈 공간이 없습니다.옥상 루프탑은 옥상에 의자와 테이블이 준비되어있는 것으로 조명도 없고 밤에 이용하기 어렵습니다. 침대 메트리스는 눈으로 봐도 가운데가 주저 앉아 있습니다.

Thank you very much for your stay. First of all, we are sorry that if you feel uncomfortable to stay here. As clearly written our page, we renovated old building for our hostel. We have no lift, sometimes feel small. We will always try the best all guest stay comfortably. But if you need perfect noise protection like having party inside room until midnight that's why we ask all guest please think other people and be quiet after 10 PM when you check-in. we do not recommend to stay our hostel because we want all guests understand this is not perfect hotel, but this is hostel which shared time with other guests under our hospitality. There are few lights on our roof now until 23:00 from night starts, but you might have gone up after 23:00 out of business hour. it will turn off after 23:00 because of noise problem. Thank you.

소박하고 위치가 좋았어요.
교통 편의성과 도보로 다닐 수 있는, 주변 관광지와 쇼핑 좋았구요. 방이 참 작고, 2층침대의 삐걱거림, 교체가 필요했어요. 창틀에 방충망이 없어 강바람이 너무 좋았는데, 에어컨에 의지해야 해서 아쉬웠어요. 아사쿠사가 좋았고, 호스텔 위치 최고였어요. 비용대비 만족감이 컸네요 ^^

Super guesthouse !
Cette guesthouse est vraiment super, les lits sont très confortables et la "capsule"qui vous est attribuée est assez spacieuse. Les salles de bains communes sont très propres et tous les lits sont nettoyés chaque jour. Le quartier est très sympa et il y a plusieurs bouches de métros à même pas 5mn de marche. De plus, les propriétaires sont très gentils et à l'écoute. Je reviendrai absolument ! (le seul inconvénient que j'ai pu avoir est un voyageur qui s'est mis à parler au téléphone dans le dortoir le matin. Mais bon, ce n'est pas un problème de la guesthouse).
