About
Lucky Hostel - Tokyo
Lucky Hostel is a small, no-frills property in Tokyo's Shinjuku area, with 11 rooms spread across the third floor of the Akase building. The location is its main draw: you're a short walk from Studio Govie, and just one stop away from Shinjuku Station, making it easy to explore the city without spending much on transport.
Rooms are simple and come with essentials like heating, air conditioning, and a bathtub. The hostel keeps things practical, offering free Wi-Fi, curtains for privacy, and a shared kitchen. A 24-hour Family Mart is right next door, which is handy for late-night snacks or forgotten toiletries.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime location near Shinjuku — The hostel is just one stop from Shinjuku Station, making it easy to reach the city's main transport hub. It's also a 6-minute walk from Studio Govie and close to convenience stores like Family Mart, 7-11, and AEON mart.
- Helpful and flexible staff — Guests repeatedly mention that staff are accommodating, allowing early check-in and later checkout, and are available around the clock at the 24-hour front desk.
- Good value for budget travelers — With rooms starting at £18 per night, the hostel offers a low-cost option in Tokyo, and guests often note that the amenities justify the price.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Language barrier with staff — Several guests note that staff are not fluent in English, though they still manage to be helpful. If you need detailed assistance, you may need to rely on translation apps.
- Small scale — With only 11 rooms, the hostel is compact. This may limit availability and privacy compared to larger properties, and common areas could feel crowded during peak times.
- Shared bathrooms — Bathrooms are shared, which some travelers may find less convenient. However, guests rate them as clean, so the trade-off is mainly about having to coordinate with other guests.

Fantastic location with easy access to Shinjuku Station and plenty of food options nearby. Staff were helpful despite a language barrier and made sure we had a comfortable stay.”
8.2Verified guest“We chose Lucky Hostel for its convenient location above Family Mart and affordable price. Getting there was easy, just one stop from Shinjuku Station. Dragging luggage was not an issue—the entrance is right next to Family Mart. Staff weren't fluent in English but were helpful and easy to communicate with. We stayed in a Quadruple room, exactly as shown online. Surprised by amenities like a laundry machine, paper cups, tableware, and deodorant. We loved the surrounding area with 7-11 and AEON mart nearby. The street had plenty of good Korean restaurants. Cons: All was good.”
8.2Verified guest“Who needs tourist attractions when you have an airport nearby? And don't get me started on the 200-meter hike to Kaichu Inari Shrine. Talk about convenience!”
