the stay was fine, private shower and toilet, TV, fridge, not bad for a budget hostel, the only serious fault was the four o`clock check in, far too late in the afternoon, and no one in attendance, so that a client could at least leave, his or her baggage some where until check in time.

Could be better
Hostel needs some renovations as is in very bad condition. Metro station is about 10 minutes walking.
Dirty & definitely not like the pictures. Booked a double private room for 3 nights & it was very disappointing. Stayed in many hostels in Asia & this was the worst. Recommend people spend few extra dollars & find another place. Very dated & dirty - mats on floor are very thin & worn out.
Le Family & bAKpAK Tokyo Hostel est un très bon établissement. Le propriétaire est très à l'écoute et aide énormément les voyageurs concernant leurs séjours. Il est également très sociable et gentil. Cet établissement se trouve proche du métro Minowa et de plusieurs superette 24/24. Nous n'avons rien de négatif à en dire.
It has a traditional homey feels. I like the view and atmosphere from the roof top. You can cook your own food in the kitchen. Friendly and helpful staff. The only thing I didn't like is the cleanliness. The establishment is a bit old. But all in all it was good for the price.

Nice stay overall
bAkpAk hostel was very affordable, the owner was very nice and helpful. It's quite a bit older compared to a lot of hostels in Tokyo, and could use some renovations, but no notable problems. The massage chairs in the lounge were a nice touch, big collection of movies are nice for rainy days, and I really liked the hot and cold tea and coffee in the kitchen. The wi-fi was sort of in and out, but worked well enough. I also liked the lounge area outside, quite cozy. Overall I had a nice stay.

Decent hostel
I had an average stay at Bakpak Tokyo Hostel. My husband and I stayed there for four nights during our visit to Tokyo in mid-September. We stayed in the double room with a private bathroom. In the pictures of the double room on Hotels.com, there is one picture of a room with a regular bed and then a picture with two Japanese futons. We were put in the room with the Japanese futons. My "mattress" was thin and I had difficultly sleeping. I eventually changed with my husband and his was newer and more plush. The bathroom is described as "partially open" on hotels.com and I was uncertain what that meant. Our double room did have a private bathroom, but the toilet was separated from the shower (both were found in our private room, though). When we finally figured out how to work the A/C, it worked well enough. However, the room managed to stay quite humid, despite blasting the A/C. The room also seemed quite dusty.
The surrounding area is almost entirely residential. I believe we only walked passed two restaurants on the 12 minute walk to Iriya metro station. We also walked a bit further to Uguisudani station (about 20 minute walk from Bakpak) to take the JR line to different areas of Tokyo more directly. Sensoji Temple is also about a 15 minute walk from Bakpak, and definitely worth seeing. The area by the temple has restaurants and great souvenir shopping.
This is a hostel, and it's not the newest or the cleanest, but for what we paid, it was worth it to travel Tokyo.
아사쿠사랑 가깝고 자전거를 빌리면 편안하게 아사쿠사를 돌아볼 수 있는게 최고의 장점입니다.
식사도 주변식당이 매우 저렴해서 간단하게 해결이 가능합니다.
와이파이도 무료로 쓸 수 있는데다가 호텔 편의시설을 마음대로 이용할 수 있습니다.
다만 방에서 일본 특유의 냄세가 납니다. 일본 특유의 냄세를 싫어 하시는 분은 그것 하나만
주의하시면 됩니다.
특히 옥상의 흔들의자 가 참 매력적입니다. 도심가운대에서 잠시 느긋한 느낌으로 앉아있는게 참 명품이었습니다. 한번 이용해보세요.

Recommend for backpackers only
It's a room for sleep but quite comfortable. Staff are very friendly. They don't have breakfast. The hostel is quite far from Minowa station. It's suitable for backpackers.

Alot of food shops near the hostel
Host was so kind that he brought us to the bus stop near the hostel to take bus to Niporri stn to take train to Narita stn.once again thks ko for your help.
Værelset var ikke klar ved indtjekning kl. 19 om aftenen, selvom vi havde været om morgenen og stille vores baggage. Der lå brugt tandtråd fra tidligere gæster på gulvet, sengene var i rigtig dårlig tilstand og hylderne på toilettet var sat op med tegnestifter. Generelt beskidt og slidt. Der lugtede på fællesarealerne.
