almond hostel & cafe Shibuya

Staff were very friendly. Bunks were fairly comfortable, but quite short, so your feet stick out of the privacy curtain. Food and drink not allowed in the dorms but you can bring food and drink from outside and eat it in their cafe. Customer service available until 1am.

Hostel is nice with large single pods / bunks, with plenty of washing facilities. The electronic door looks is quite annoying when people are coming back later at night as it is quite loud. Coffee downstairs is good, but go round the corner for equivalent cheaper coffee. Lights out at 11 is good however, the use of the laundry is not stopped after this time, and is only in a room off the dorm room so is loud long into the night if people start the washing just before 11, suggest the hostel kill the power the these facilities at 11 with the main lighting.

The aesthetic was very nice and the staff were welcoming from the get-go. The rooms are cool and spacious with good bathroom facilities and a laundry. The only downsides were the stairs up to the rooms were very steep and it was a struggle to carry our luggage up and down, and the mattresses were hard to sleep on.

Great location! Close to Yoyogi park, easy walking distance of Yoyogi koen and Yoyogi hatchiman. Halfway between Shibuya station and Shinjuku stations. Plenty of combini and other shipping opportunities, would definitely stay there again!!! A+

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, clean and great coffee

The place is great for a short stay. The room is like many other hostel rooms, with many bunk beds and visitors from many other countries. What I like the most was the Mustard Café, a quite tranquil space with a lovely natural light and great music ( a soothing. a collection of jazzy instrumental lo-fi beats). The neighbourhood is not so crowded and one can feel truly Tokyo local vibes while staying at Mustard. There are many nice cafés, shops and restaurants around the area. A great place if you would like to be centric but not in a busy area.

The hostel is above the cafe that's run by the same ppl running the hostel. The down side is, there is no pantry/kitchen, you are not allowed to eat in the hostel, and the common area is the cafe, which is kinda awkward when what you want to do is just to make yourself cup noodle, but it's weird having to eat that in a cafe with other cafe customers as well.... I seriously think that they should consider having a small pantry or kitchen within the hostel, so that we don't have to go down to the cafe everytime we want to eat something, or just to boil hot water.

For the money, especially traveling with more than one, this place is simply not worth it. The upper bunks are insanely hot, there is not enough space for anyone’s things so they are all over the floor, and the bathroom is not kept very clean. The pods were decently sized and the lounge is nice, but the pictures are very misleading. If you’re traveling with luggage it is inconvenient in every way.

Loved every thing about almond. Location was great, staff was super friendly, the room layout was nice. Would 100% stay here again.

Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful during my check in!
