About
Grids Tokyo Asakusa-Bashi Hotel＆Hostel
Grids Tokyo Asakusa-Bashi Hotel＆Hostel is a 32-room, 2-star hostel in the Taito ward, a 6-minute walk from Kusawakeinari Shrine and a short ride from the action of Akihabara. The property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi in every corner, a laundry room, and curtains on every bed so a shared dorm still feels private.
The lobby doubles as a lounge and cafe, the kind of space where guests end up trading route tips or sharing a coffee before heading out. Breakfast is laid on each morning, and the staff are known for being quick with a map, a suggestion, or help with a booking. It's a base for travellers who want the energy of a hostel without the chaos.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- A location that puts the city within reach — Guests consistently mention the convenience of being between two metro stations, and Akihabara is roughly 15 minutes on foot.
- Breakfast is included — A simple daily spread that reviewers describe as a welcome bonus, with items like fruit, omelet on toast, and coffee.
- Clean, comfortable, and private — Beds come with curtains for privacy, rooms are kept spotless, and the separate shower and toilet areas are well-maintained.
- Staff who genuinely help — Friendly, English-speaking staff who go out of their way to assist with maps, route advice, and requests.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited facilities for a 2-star property — The hostel has 32 rooms and a focused amenity list—laundry, free Wi-Fi, curtains—but no fitness centre, pool, or on-site restaurant beyond the cafe.
- Check-in window is narrow — Guests must arrive between 16:00 and 23:59, which may be tricky for late-night arrivals or early flights.
- No pets allowed — The property is strictly non-smoking and does not permit pets, so those travelling with animals need to look elsewhere.
- No on-site parking mentioned — There's no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find nearby options—likely a challenge in central Tokyo.

The staff were always friendly and spoke excellent English, making communication easy. The common room had a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or socializing. The location, between two stations, was convenient. I had a great experience and would recommend this hotel.”
