Never going to stay there again!

The building and room were okay.But the walls were so thin and you can hear voice or sounds from other room. I think no privacy there.
The staff were NOT kind and helpful AT ALL! I am so pissed off by them. I stayed there one night and noticed that I left my glasses around the bathroom area and I called the hostel and asked them to find them for me. I wasn't in Tokyo when I called them so asked them to mail my glasses for me. I am so sure that I left them there because it was the only place I used my glasses! But the staff who answered the phone said there weren't glasses there as soon as I asked her, she didn't even go to look around, and said to me "call us tomorrow". So i called them the next day and the other staff, it was a guy this time, answered and said the same thing. I felt their answers weren't clear at all because they said "We check rooms everyday and we didn't find glasses but we haven't make sure about it yet." It just didn't make any sense. I just heard "Do not bother us about such a small thing." The guy sounded so annoyed when I called them the 2nd time. He said he would contact me when he finds them so I asked him to call me but he said they don't do any phone call servises. It sounded like he didn't want to spend extra money for just glasses.
I know I was stupid that i left my glasses but they could be more helpful if they were working at a hostel.
I went to many hostel website and saw many people wrote good things about this hostel. I wonder why they think this is a good place to stay. Most of them rated like "The staffs were so friendly". I wonder if it was because they were foreigners and I wasn't. (I am Japanese.)
I am NEVER ever going to stay at this hostel again anymore and NEVER reccomend this hostel to anyone!!!
