Unfortunately the only good part of my stay was how comfortable the bed was, but it stops short after that. It's so extremely dirty that I barely wanted to touch anything in the place, the common areas are also extremely dirty so it's not an inviting place to relax.

I booked a girls dormitory stay but it would’ve been nice to know that the shower/bathroom is CO-ED. also there’s a weird medicine smell in the rooms? And towels aren’t provided, it is a 200 yen per rental. The hygiene is questionable… the thing I liked was that this stay was on the cheaper side. It’s in the middle of tourism so it’s very loud and busy.

I know is not directly related to the staff but directly to the guest that stay there but some of the share spaces were a little dirty... I think the administration should put more rules about to clean each space you use and create consciousness that there are other people than you. I another thing is that the administration should make maintenance to the showers and the shoes area... But other that that, was a great experience, the staff is super nice, also the beds and the first floor is also good. With wonderful location to move around.

Men in women's room at night

Common area on 2f smells of stale body odour. Male staff came into the "women only" bedroom at 7pm (a time that I don't think staff should be in bedrooms..) to close the curtains?? Surely us women are capable of moving some fabric? What made this worse was that the curtain was right next to my bed, where I get dressed. I didn't appreciate an unexpected man reaching round the side of my bed to close the curtain.

Location is definitely the strong point of this guesthouse. Staff was also very good. Some minor improvements would be better cleanliness and softer mattresses.
