Tokyo Backpackers (CLOSED)

A night’s stay at rhis dormitory-style hostel in Minami-Senju will set you back just ¥2,100, making it one of the cheapest options in Tokyo. The rock-bottom price at Tokyo Backpackers doesn’t mean you’ll be slumming it, though – rooms are clean and modern and there is free internet access and WiFi, a shared living room and kitchen, plus an entire floor that's women-only. It also has good access to and from Tokyo Station, Akihabara and Nippori via bus. Just be warned that the place closes between 11am and 4pm for cleaning each day.
