IRORI Nihonbashi Hostel and Kitchen

It is a very well located hostel, very friendly and with nice areas for the guests. The rooms are too crowded but confortable.

IRORI is just 2 stops away from Tokyo station, and 20-25 mins away to Shinjuku/Shibuya/Harajuku. Each level houses around 20 people, hence not very social. The shower is on another level, hence a little inconvenient especially at night since you have to wait for the lift. The place is very clean; private; you can make your own traditional Japanese breakfast (fish) for just 500 yen; there are lockers. All in all, a great place for a few nights rest!

Cool hostel close to lots of lublic transport, not much to do in the area mostly offices and shops but easy to get to! Good kitchens small but since there's two not an issue, rooms are great for privacy nowhere secure to store luggge though! Good security on the rooms however

This is a disappointing review to write because I honestly like this hostel and its staff a lot. However, because lights out occurs after front desk hours, it is not enforced. (Lights out is 11:30PM.) My floor had a guest from Africa who speaking loudly on the phone (racist things against Chinese people) around midnight. When another girl and I asked him to please take his call outside the sleeping area, he became aggressive, called us racist, and called her a "stupid b-". We couldn't do anything because there was no staff on duty. I ended up spending half an hour past midnight having to listen to this guy's racist and sexist ranting over the phone before he finally called it quits and let everyone sleep. This was the worst incident of my stay, but every other night had at least one instance where people in the room didn't respect lights out. One guy left his phones in the room while showering, waking everyone up to a super early morning alarm. One girl had all of her lights on and was noisily rearranging all of her baggage at midnight. I couldn't get even ONE night of good, uninterrupted sleep during my stay. It's sad to have to leave this rating because everything else is great. But if you can't sleep, what's the point? The hostel should have someone on staff until lights out, and then have that person walk around to each room to turn off the lights and notify everyone of the policy. Trusting people to be responsible doesn't work.
