Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was not clean. Beds were dirty, bathrooms were dirty, reception was filled with junk, old food in the fridge, they have a garbage dump outside where the washing machine is. False advertisement to say the least. It says they have laundry facilities but it’s just a dirty washing machine. They say theirs a rooftop but don’t mention that you have to buy a drink to be able to access it. And the “drinks” they sell are either canned pop for ¥500 or they make you a coffee/ cocktail in their dirty reception area. Photos show they have a projector to watch movies in the common room but it’s no longer there. I requested a top bunk when booking but they put me on the bottom, when I asked to change they refused even though the whole room was empty most of my stay. Bed area was so dirty I had to request it be cleaned. And people wear their shoes in the room so the floors are filthy. Overall just not a good hostel.

The hostel has some downsides worth mentioning. One major issue is that the room allows shoes inside, which made the space feel less clean. There was also a musty, unpleasant odor likely due to poor ventilation. The room was quite noisy at night — the person in the bunk above me was frequently rummaging through her luggage, which disrupted my sleep. While I understand that guest behavior is beyond the property’s control, it still affected my experience.
