7.7Verified guest“The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The location was great, with lots of good restaurants nearby and easy transport links. The cafe had a cool, Melbourne-inspired vibe, and the whole place was spotless, from the cafe to the dorms.”
7.7Verified guest“Almond Hostel & Cafe exceeded all my expectations. The staff, especially the breakfast guy and Jun, were incredibly helpful and gave great advice. The dorms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was good value. The reception-coffee shop was the highlight – a fantastic atmosphere where I spent hours drawing and drinking their delicious iced cocoa. The location was perfect, a short walk to Shibuya and Shinjuku centers and easy access to trains. I'd definitely stay again. Only downside: it was almost perfect.”

The communal vibe was great, and we enjoyed exploring the local bars and restaurants. We'd definitely recommend this hostel.”

7.7Verified guest“Mind-blowingly clean and modern hostel with great facilities. Amazing location near train stations, park, and shopping. The lounge-cafe had great music, delicious coffee, and a cozy feel. The 500 yen breakfast buffet was excellent. Showers and toilets were clean, and the bunks were spacious with power points and shelves. Lockers were ample and the staff friendly. The design and neighborhood were fantastic. Daily cleaning, big storage, good security, and a quiet atmosphere. Nearby restaurants and shops were superb. Easy train access and a pleasant walk to popular areas.”
