On one hand, this is probably the only affordable option in the iconic Kichijoji area. On the other, you will be roughing it. Shower is a TV-special- worthy, nightmarish, plywood add-on; bathroom was also a bad set-up & not sanitary; there isn’t really a kitchen at all, just a sink, drip coffee machine, and a hot plate with no hot water; the fridge straight was not working and the electrical actually cannot handle the power draw of a hair dryer on its own. The space accommodates 4 people sleeping by having the mattresses overlap each other by a few inches. Someone randomly tried to get in to the unit in the middle of the night? Very weird stay. If you are someone who truly needs no comforts and needs to be in the area, this might be ok. Otherwise, I would recommend an easy day trip from one of the nicer hostels towards central Tokyo, where you can find much better amenities and also probably save more than the price of the train tickets.
