Where to Stay in Tokyo: Grand Hostel LDK Nishi-Kasai — A Renovated Pool Turned Stylish Hostel
A family-friendly Tokyo hostel with coworking spaces, beach lounge vibes, and a special reader discount.
Last week I stayed at GRAND HOSTEL LDK Tokyo Nishi-Kasai, a large hostel that opened in May 2025. What’s interesting is that this building used to be a swimming pool, and it has been completely renovated into a bright, modern, and comfortable hostel.
There’s also a special discount for my subscribers at the end of this post, so be sure to read until the end!
Who this hostel is perfect for
Families or groups traveling together
People who want both a social, relaxed atmosphere and space to work or study
Guests looking for easy access to central Tokyo and nearby attractions
Highlights of the hostel
Only 4 minutes on foot from Nishi-Kasai Station (Tokyo Metro Tozai Line), with direct access to Ginza, Tokyo Station, Asakusa, and Maihama in about 30 minutes.
From shared spaces to private rooms, everything is clean, bright, and welcoming.
A beach lounge with real white sand, offering a calm resort-like feel and a place to meet other guests.
Rooms designed for groups, with not only beds but also sofas that make it easy to relax and spend time together.
Shared facilities including coworking areas, a kitchen, billiards, and plenty of games.
My experience
I stayed with six friends. We started in the coworking space, which had chill music, ocean sand on the floor, and a relaxed atmosphere. It worked well for studying and also made it easy to talk with other guests.
The room was another highlight — clean, bright, and comfortable, with a sofa where we gathered to talk and share desserts. In the evening we played billiards, tried out the games, and some of us cooked in the shared kitchen. Later we all ended up back in the room, staying up late and chatting, which felt a little like being back on a school trip.
Showers were convenient too. Our room had one, and there were many more on the third floor, so even with six people there was no waiting.
Breakfast the next morning was simple and international, including cereals and light options, which I appreciated. Even after checking out, we could stay in the lounge, so we played another round of billiards and studied a bit more before leaving.
