Set along the banks of the Sumida River in a renovated office building, this hostel houses 18 private rooms that all boast riverside views (from the bathroom, at the very least). And if you feel the need to relax away from the toilet, the open-for-all 'kawa (river) terrace' on the second floor is the place to be. It's home to Pitmans, a barbecue restaurant serving slow-roasted pulled pork and spare ribs, as well as a brewery named Kiyosubashi; there are even plans to screen films in summer. For experiencing Tokyo's more watery side, this hostel looks like a good choice.
