The location of the hostel is top-notch, right beside the canal. It’s also above a great bar run by the hostel as well. That said, the bed was extremely hard, to the point of feeling like a wooden sheet. Some of the slats were broken too. The 4pm check in and 10am checkout was a little inconvenient, but they did allow us to store our bags at the front. If you can get over the uncomfortable sleep, it’s a good spot for a night or two

It was great having a nice communal seating area/bar in the main part of the hostel. We were able to sit there for as long as we wanted when we were too tired to do any more walking in the heat. We were in the annex and it was perfect for our needs - very quiet. As there was no elevator, one of the staff carried our luggage up the stairs for us.

The location is fantastic, it's right next to the historical quarter and a short walk to the train station. There's a great restaurant that closes late right downstairs so you don't even have to worry when everything else closes. The toilet is also newly renovated and the decor is very rustic which I think is interesting! One of the best hostels I've stayed at, I can safely say. Good for younger couples and friends! I don't think that this place would be great for older folks or people who prefer the standard hotel experience. The decor is rustic so you can't tell if it's real dirt or fake dirt LOL but if you don't mind, everything else was clean and service was awesome as well.

Okay hostel - great location

I'll start with the good things: the location was amazing for the price, just around the corner from the historical district. The communal bathrooms and showers were pretty clean, and overall the room was pretty clean too. There was water leaking outside of the rooms but that didn't bother me much. The price was very cheap so I didn't expect much, but the bed was basically a wooden plank (there was a mattress, but it was so thin and the middle had caved in, so most of the bed was a wooden plank). It was quite hard to sleep. The (included) breakfast wasn't amazing, but I guess I shouldn't expect much. If the bed hadn't been void of padding, I would give this hostel a solid 4 stars, but that was pretty bad so I'm giving 3 stars.

倉敷駅からはいくつか行く方法がありますが、荷物もあると思うので、倉敷駅の南口(改札口左側)をでて、大きな立体通路の上を右側に歩いていくとアパホテルの所にエスカレーターがあるのでそこを地上に降りて右側にいくと横断歩道があるので。渡って倉敷中央通りを15分程歩いて公衆トイレが見えるのでそこを左側に入って突当りを右側にいくとあります(ここにくる倉敷中央通りの途中の左側には倉敷景観区に入る入口(表示あり)があります)。 二回目の利用です。記録があったのかベッドも同じ所だったので使いやすかったです。到着すると半地下のカフェの入口がフロントになっています。EVがないので部屋までは階段です。ドミトリーの部屋にはトイレもシャワーもないので一旦部屋の外にでる必要があり、女子のシャワールーム(トイレもこの中にあり)は、2階に電子レンジ、給湯器、冷蔵庫(何故か冷凍庫)がある食事を取れる場所と隣接しているのはちょっと気になる所です。ツイン等の部屋もあるのでそういう部屋を選ぶのも選択肢の一つですね。ここの良さは倉敷景観区の側で、新渓園、大原美術館の裏側にあるので観光のアクセスがよく夜歩きをする際にもとても便利な場所にあります。これだけでもここに泊まる理由になりますね。掃除も吹き届いていて使い勝手がよかったので、またお伺いしたいです。
