Nomad is a great place to stay and Gami is an excellent host. When you first check in you will enter a code that you will be sent after you book your stay to enter the Hostel, change into slippers, and then message and be greeted by Gami.
You will then be given a tour around the place, starting in the living room that has a desk with plugs, a couple couches to relax on, and tourist information including a map of Tokyo. Then you will be taken to the kitchen where you can use any of the amenities such as a microwave, stove, sink, fridge, etc. The kitchen also has a dining table and a TV which is the central place to meet and talk with other guests who cook and relax there. After the kitchen is the shower rooms and a bathroom. There are 2 shower rooms, one toilet, and one sink in the downstairs hall. Once I learned how to set the temperatures nicely I didn’t have any issues with the showers. You are not provided with a towel so make sure to bring your own, or buy one at the convenience store right next to Nomad.
Afterwards, you are done with the first floor and climb slightly steep stairs to the bedrooms. Each pod comes with a futon, pillow, blanket, and a small shelf which includes a compartment that you can lock valuables with your own padlock, but the place is safe enough that you don’t need to. The beds are comfortable, and your pod has enough room for a small suitcase. It also has hangars and hooks for you to hang your things. The last of the second floor is a toilet and three sinks. Afterwards Gami will leave you and you are free to come and go as you please. Quiet hours are after 10PM so there’s not a lot happening in the bedrooms other than sleeping, while most of the interactions are downstairs in the kitchen or living room.
The location is close to Asakusa station, which is only about a 10 minute walk. You can get to Asakusa station easily from either Narita or Haneda airport, and you can travel all around Tokyo from there. It is also only a couple stations away from a JR line, so if you plan to take the Shinkansen you are only about 10 minutes away. Asakusa is a nice tourist area with a really nice large temple in the center of a shopping area, and the location is very close to Skytree. One of the things I loved about this location was walking back from the station at night, crossing a river on a bridge, and just staring at Skytree in the distance.
Gami is a very friendly and excellent host, and I will most likely be staying here again for my next trip.
