Room with bunk bed was small, good for those who are just backpacking or have little luggage. Sink was really small so water ends up getting on the floor alot, but they provide a towel to mop it. Shower smelt a bit like mildew but was otherwise fine. Staff were very friendly and nice.

I had a private room that was meant for a group of people. The space was very large. Great for solo traveler who doesn't want the real hostel experience. Although it was extremely cheaper for the hostel package. I will definitely come back here.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you have absolutely no other option. The building is extremely old and has a strong, unpleasant smell that hits you as soon as you walk in. While I’ll give credit that the bedding was clean, that’s honestly the only positive thing I can say.

Sophiearth is ...only ideal if travelling on a budget, and being based in Shin-Okubo it's a convenient location to easily get to other places in Tokyo, like Shinjuku and Akihabara. The coin laundry works very well.

Stayed 6 nights. They didn’t clean room nor toilet. No fresh towel. We had to ask them to clean toilet and fresh towels. We had to change garbage can in room and clean up ourselves each day. Room has no window. We stayed in three person room as a couple. No way it would fit 3. Room is extremely basic. But location is excellent. Close to trains, bus and tons of affordable good food and Sento nearby. It is more like a hostel and should not be advertised as a hotel.
