What is a hostel?
Generally a hostel is an accommodation facility cheaper than a hotel, usually including bunk-bed dormitory rooms shared by multiple guests, and shared shower and toilet facilities. Another characteristic is that there is a common room where guests can actively communicate and mingle with each other.
In Japan tourism is increasing and it is said there is a shortage of hotel rooms, so hostels are opening one after another, mainly targetting backpackers from abroad.

hostel sweet home くつろぎも交流も叶う宿
As relaxing as your own home.
plat hostel keikyu is a hostel that was designed thinking about all sorts of guests’ needs. With that in mind, we created zones in the hostel and planned it carefully so that everyone has their needs matched and can enjoy their stay at their own pace and in their own way.
We aren’t bound by the traditional definition of a hostel but we are not a business type hotel either; we create our hostels with all our heart so you can enjoy a relaxing, homely atmosphere.
plat hostel keikyu’s characteristics
Each of plat hostel keikyu hostels has its own image colour, and that colour becomes the colour of the hostel’s logo.
For example, at our first hostel, plat hostel keikyu asakusa karin, we use a luxury wood called “karin” and the peculiarity of this design is reflected in the property’s image colour.
Our hostels are connected like stations on a railway track, so there is a synergy between the hostels. We have a repeater’s discount, and we periodically host the “Plat Cup” (a game tournament between guests and hostel staff).
For the other hostels’ characteristics please check the hostels list page.
plat hostel keikyu’s three main points
community
The communication between guests and between guests and staff is important to us.
We have a blackboard in each hostel where guests and staff can exchange information.
To facilitate communication, we hosts seasonal events and tournaments that guests can join in freely.

We care about our guests’ safety and want solo female travellers to feel safe at our hostel. We have security cameras in the communal areas and a security guard service, and the toilet and shower shared areas are gender separated.
hospitality
We want all our guests to enjoy their stay, so we invest in the staff’s training and have a level-up career scheme for them. We are glad to say we receive thankful messages from our guests and have high reviews for our staff’s service.
