The location is okay, close to the skytree Tokyo... however the hotel stairs is very narrow and no elevator and the room is tiny and no room for luggage even in the room, my backpack has to stay on bed. The staff was nice to allow us to leave the luggage there before the check in hour. The bed is uncomfortable, the whole floor is sharing one bathroom area. we booked 2 nights however I had to change to another place and simply forgot about the money I paid for the 2nd night. I didn't feel like wanting to shower after a hot humid sweaty day in the Tokyo summer...There's a tin box in the room will a long rope that can be used for one to escape from window in case of fire. It might be a good thing however looks pretty scary though. I feel like maybe need to act 007 one night. Don't feel safe due to the super narrow stairs. Would not recommend it unless you really want to save money. I would not stay there again for sure no matter what.

We stayed in the original Kangaroo. The aesthetics were cool and the price was dirt cheap but you get what you pay for. The showers were mouldy and sheets had stains. We opted for the bunkbed and were cramped. Most of the dining/lounge areas were sectioned off for some reason, which meant we huddled on our bed to eat any food we brought in. Combined with being a 15min walk from the closest subway station, it quickly became an unpleasant place to stay.

Area is nice and quiet, and there are convenience stores nearby and even a small Yakiniku place a short walk away. Biggest issue I had was the showers, which were poorly ventilated and had visible mold/mildew and damaged fixtures. Overall, a decent stay for the price, though the poorly maintained showers would make me hesitate to return, even with the lower prices.

This is great if you’re on a budget and are okay with things being a bit uncomfortable. The area is okay, there’s two convenience stores not far from here, but the selection is a bit limited compared to other parts of Tokyo. The distance from Minami Senju station is about 900m. The general area is about a 2.5km walk to any close by landmarks, but it’s not a bad spot if you want to visit Asakusa or Akihabara. The main issues for me have been safety and cleanliness. There were people rattling on my door handle late at night and I kept my door slightly ajar at one point to grab a cup ramen and a man rattled on the door next to me then saw my door was ajar and opened it. The smile on his face as he said “oops” told me he was up to no good. This is not the fault of the staff, but like a previous reviewer said, keep your door locked even if you’re going out to the toilet. You can also hear people very clearly in the hallway at night, which is fine as long as people aren’t chatting out there at 5am in the morning. The other issue wasn’t so much with the room, but the bathroom. It wasn’t dirty, but there was a lot of mould and you have to hold down a button to use the water or it will keep stopping. I would recommend finding a bathhouse. The staff when they checked us in were great, but are only present at the desk during check-in between 4pm to 10pm I believe. I would recommend staying somewhere else if you’re travelling alone as a female.

To start of with the good, I think that the staff that we met were helpful despite their lack of English communication skills. However, for the amount that we paid for this "hotel", it was definitely a huge rip off. To start off, the thumbnail is misleading/non-existent at this point. The lobby area is blocked off and guests cannot use this area. Secondly, the rooms are really small, and arguably worse than even some capsule hotels despite the price they charge; we booked for a room meant for three, but the room was so narrow that luggage cannot be opened, the walkway becomes blocked and it feels unfair that they charge a room for three people for a room that clearly is meant to fit one person as a capsule room. This is even made more evident in that the room only has a single electric outlet for guests to use. Internet is also unreliable, and the description forgets to mention that washrooms are communal and is never mentioned on their expedia posting. They also did not mention that their laundry amenities is not free. Finally, some of their amenities do not work. For example our refrigerator was not working, as well as our thermostat. TLDR - Room is overpriced, description of their property is misleading, and property is rundown and amenities damaged.

Because there’s a gap between the door and the ceiling, you can hear everyone else on the floor very loudly. The showers are filthy, and the hallway in the room chambers also smell. My room also smelled like BO, so I’m wondering how often the rooms are cleaned throughly. The AC also smelled really bad and hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. The women’s bathroom was also closed on my floor so I had to go to the bottom floor everytime I wanted to use it. They did have a trash can and recycling bins, as well as a microwave on every floor which was nice. My room did have a small trash can, foldable table and hair dryer, but the refrigerator was very weak and barely worked at all. There was also a very small TV in my room which worked. It was very cheap but the same as the other hotels in the area so next time I’d rather stay in one of those.
