In terms of location, K's house is excellent. It is 3 minutes walk from Kuramae Station, 7 minutes walk to Asakusa Station (or Senso-ji). There are many shops, restaurants around. Very convenient location.
The ground floor is their lobby, reception, pantry, and store room. The lobby/lounge is very cosy, with two computers available for you to access the internet (you have to pay though, 100 yen for 20 mins).
However, their dorm is really small. Do you see all these bunk beds being crammed together in such a small room? There are a total of 4 bunk beds, for 8 persons in a room smaller than 8 meter squared.
Most of the people staying at K's house are westerners, or Caucasians, or Asians with an Asian's look, but a Caucasian's heart.
Service-wise, it is the same slow service at almost all the hostels across the world. They usually only have one staff manning the reception, so patience is a virtue.
Anyway, for the price of 2800 yen/night in expensive Tokyo, it is not a bad choice if you are traveling alone. However, if you traveling with a partner or a friend, it will be more worthwhile to consider one of those business hotels such as Toyoko Inn.
