What I liked about the hostel is its good location as it made me feel like a local. There are a lot of places to eat and supermarkets are within walking distance. There is also a lovely boulangerie beside the place, Rouge Gorge that served really good bread. Smile Home can improve more by having another shower area since there’s only one that’s shared among 10 rooms. It’s situated along the main street so if you’re iffy with noise from the cars passing even at night, this might not be the place for you. Walls are a bit thin, you can hear the person in the other room especially if the guests are loud (but maybe that’s not the case all the time). Overall, it’s still a good place to stay in if you’re after the local Tokyo experience.
