Could be better.
Last day of a 2 week stay in Tokyo choose this because it said spa and was low priced. However spa was in the building but cost 7000 yen. As a guest and not one you could walk in reservation required. See atached photo. Dorm room mattress was thin and not comfortable and dorm was very hot. But the staff was super friendly and helpfull.

Amazing Hostel In a Quiet Neighborhood
Amazing place. Everyone who works there is really nice. The beds are big and comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms. Very clean and quiet. I liked the location. It's in a more residential area but with easy train access to Shinduku and other parts of Tokyo. It's walking distance to Senso-ji, which was lovely to walk to for sunrise before the crowds get there. I highly recommend.

ちょっと狭いけど清潔感あり
ダブルルームに宿泊。 施設全体的にコンパクトで清潔感感じられた。部屋のドアが風や僅かな空気の流れで音がして気になった。 また防音性が低く廊下や向かいのドミトリーの出入りの音が聞こえる。 また、ウェブページではcafe&barはcloseになってるみたいだったが実際には販売しているようだったので情報に乖離があるようだった。快適性にこだわらなければいいかも。

I enjoyed the coziness of the place. The bar/restaurant was quaint and served nice food, the staff were friendly, and the hostel is in an area that’s not buzzing with many tourists. The only thing I didn’t like was the size of my room. However, I got used to the size so it wasn’t a huge worry. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend FOCUS to friends who might want to visit Tokyo for a short trip.

It’s brand new, nice ambient, clean, simple but practical and easy access and easy check in and out. The bar and dining on the ground flour for the people to mingle and have some food with Djing music. Lift to the all flours, not crowded. However, the shower is only one in each flour (3 toilets and hand washing basins are excellent), which we can go to others flours for us to use. But it’s more hustle and it you are a lady you wouldn’t want to go to mixed or men’s shower. That’s why you are staying in the ladies dormitory. It would b a bonus if the toilets are washlet, but sadly no. Overall an ideal and great place that I would definitely be back and recommend it to anyone who will like to keep the cost cheap yet a great value for money.

Great new place, great vibe
Loved this place and quite new. Everything is kept clean and my experience was happy here that I extended my stay by 3 nights staying 8 days. The staff are nice and helpful. The bar people are lovely. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I stayed in the female dorms and I felt it was safe. Yhe rooms have code you need to put in which can take time to get used to and memorize. The cube was nice and clean and I had plenty of room which I stored alot of my stuff in. There is a luggage rack. The room has an air purifier and big aircon for cooling or heating. Privacy curtains and everyone who stayed were nice and quiet. There are 3 toilets which were always clean. There is 1 shower but I never had to wait for anyone and was always clean. There is shampoo, conditioner and body was available to use. Bring your own towel or for 300 yen you can get a towel and face towel to rent. The bathroom is spacious so people can brush teeth, do make up, hairdryers etc. There are washing machines on the shared floors. Wifi is great and there are two pokemon stops. There is a cafe bar in the reception area where customers can come in. Guests can cook in a small area, store food in the fridge or bring food from outside to eat in. There is a door code if you stay out really late and always 1 staff member around even if closed. Easy to get to. 1 stop from asakusa and you can even walk there easy. Asakusa line take exit A0 which has elevator for luggage.

Very friendly staff especially two of them! One was very outgoing and easy to speak with and made sure my check-in was perfect. The other helped me early in the morning of check-out when the washing machine had to be fixed, he was very friendly and easy to talk to as well.
