Nui. Hostel & Bar Lounge

Aaron★★★★★★★★★★5.0a month ago

Nui. is the perfect hostel for people who want a little bit of everything. The rooms had a perfect level of people between them, the beds were comfortable and everything was extremely clean. I loved that the downstairs café/bar was filled with locals and tourists alike making an incredible atmosphere when you arrive or when you want to have a few drinks after a long day of sightseeing making it easy to socialise with others. I ended up meeting so many people during my stay who I'm lucky enough to call my friends. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and take in a great view of Tokyo Skytree and Sumida River, head to the top floor where there is a balcony. The hostel is located right next to Asakusa where Sensō-ji temple is located making it a great spot for sightseeing, restaurants and bars. If you would like to head out for the day to another district, the subway is a 5 minute walk away making it easy to get around stress-free. Big shoutout to Maki-san, Miku-san, Sora-san and all the bar staff for making my stay here as amazing as possible. I genuinely cannot express how amazing of a stay I had here but one thing's for sure. I'll definitely be back in the future!

I stayed here for 2 weeks. It was an amazing experience, I made new friends here. The bed was a little small, the locker made noise whenever I opened and closed it. So, sleeping near the bed means you’ll end up getting your sleep disturbed as people have to open and close the lockers. The cafe had scrumptious food. Upstairs lounge area is comfortable to hang, work or have a chit chat with fellow travelers. Loved the neighborhood. You can see the sumida river from the window.

Really solid for a classic hostel. The 8 person mixed gender dorm room is clean, each bed is surrounded by privacy curtains which really help with the noise/light. The AC works great! The staff is all so friendly and kind. It’s on a quiet side street and it was really nice to come back to a less busy part of town each night for some calmness.

I ordered the rigatoni because they were the only dish on the menu that caught my attention and, most importantly, they did not have the spicy symbol. Since I have stomach issues, I chose them thinking it was a safe option. Unfortunately, the pasta turned out to be spicy. When I pointed this out to the waiter, he denied that it was spicy instead of checking or being helpful. I’m giving two stars because the pasta was well cooked and the ingredients were of good quality. However, the bartender’s attitude was not appropriate toward a customer who was simply pointing out a mistake on the menu, especially regarding something as important as spiciness.

I highly recommend this place. It was great location imo (quiet neighborhood but ten min walk to Asakusa or twenty min train to Ginza or Shibuya). Room was so clean and they have curtains for the dorms. Bathroom also very clean. The one critique I have is that it was not as social as I was hoping for and people kinda ignored me when I tried to talk to them with like one exception. I’ve never experienced that before and I am super respectful so I promise it’s not just me. I’m not sure if that’s usually how it’s like at this place but regardless, I still highly recommend as everything that was in Nui’s control was beyond expectations.
