\"Hotel<\/a>

Hotel Graphy, Tokyo<\/p><\/div>\n

Located in a quiet little neighbourhood, Hotel Graphy will give you a the best night\u2019s sleep. \u00a0A unique trait about Hotel Graphy is that it offers its guests -- 70-80% of whom hail from different countries all around the world -- a great opportunity to meet and talk with natives.\u00a0Its cafe attracts many locals,\u00a0which allows you to chat with and learn more about Japan from people who are actually from the country. Additionally, its friendly and helpful staff also consists of locals. \u00a0They also boast massive common rooms, including a kitchen, lounge, multiple dining rooms, a gallery, den, studio, rooftop terrace, and a lobby. What they really want to get across here is communication and socializing.

One thing to note, there is no elevator in the multi-floored building, so if your luggage is particularly heavy, be prepared for an arm workout! The facilities are new and clean, and the bathrooms are communal, and it\u2019s within easy walking distance to parks and trains as well as other public transport. A nice little place to spend your Tokyo retreat.<\/p>\n

They focus on three different components at the Laboratory: appearance, function and activity. \u00a0Appearance is nicely covered in their clean and colourful dorm and private bedroom options. Think loud pops of colours and unique bedding that will transform a simple dorm room into something zany. They incorporate function in their \u2018Multitasking Quatro Kitchen\u2019 which allows you to have outdoor space for sitting and chatting as well as an area for chowing down on your freshly cooked meal.<\/p>\n

Anne Hostel Yokozuna is located in Ryogoku, also known as Sumo town where you can easily catch a Sumo match at the stadium in this neighbourhood.

The hostel is within a three minute walk to the subway station, and only a few stops on the subway away from some pretty amazing sights. You can also take a direct train to some of Tokyo\u2019s more interesting places and spaces, like zoos and museums, parks, and markets. \u00a0The hostel is very basic but very efficient; it\u2019s got all the basics that you would need, and they\u2019re well done in this hostel.
