So doors do not open until eleven so can't drop luggage off so don't bother arriving early. If that had been on the website I would have used a storage locker at the station and gone back later in the evening. So you had best be okay with heights. For the dorms 1 through four you have to use a spiral staircase to reach the area where the dorms are. Have fun getting a backpack or suitcase up and down those. I was there the middle of April. The dorm I was in was full no air conditioner, no fan, no way to open the window because there was no screen and mosquitoes were out in force. Humidity in the 80 percent range. So unpleasant. There four bathrooms only one of which working. Two said out of order and the other was locked not sure why. So compared to the others I have stayed in not to be recommended.

Très agréable surprise! L’hébergement est situé juste à côté du bar/café qui m’a offert un verre de bienvenue. L’hébergement ainsi que la salle commune, la chambre et l’espace de nos lits étaient propre et agréable. Les sdb et wc propre, j’ai passé une bonne nuit, je recommande pour une nuit ou même plusieurs!

While the quaint building was left as it was, the interior was newly renovated, including the bathroom and other water facilities, making it easy to use, and the area around the bed was clean. However, there were two staff members, one of whom seemed to be a new employee, and she kept asking the other staff member who was checking me in what she couldn't do herself., and continued to talk about their job with other staff member when I drunk in the cafe, which was inappropriate and unpleasant behavior in front of guests. I would like to add that other one wasn't at fault in this case.

I really enjoyed staying here - the building style and layout was cool and creative, and I liked the bar/music element. Dozens of restaurants and shops were right around the corner - it was a cool area to explore. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would note, is that the room I stayed in was not very easy to keep warm. For the duration of my stay, I had the heater on full, which was only just able to get the room to a comfortable temperature (was there in winter). Other than that though, I would definitely recommend staying here!

This is a very average hostel. Positives: --Right by a shopping street so lots of food options nearby. --Very clean, including the bathrooms. --There is a nice bar/cafe located in the same building. --The AC in the bunkroom worked well and the beds were comfortable. I got great sleep here. --10 minute walk to Okayama Station. Negatives: --Towels cost 200 yen to rent, which seems silly. Every other hostel I've stayed in provides towels for free. --The bunkroom is a little cramped, and I did not feel there was enough storage room for luggage. Overall I thought it was a very average hostel experience. I would stay here again as it is cheap and in a good location.

Great spot close to it all

Only had a short stay for two nights. Found the place very clean, friendly and so conveniently located. To rate this any less Thant perfect would suggest you haven't stayed in many if any backpackers. I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else on my next visit. Oh, did I mention they have a great bar.

Great accommodation but haughty bar staff

I've stayed here 4 or 5 times and I really like it. The front desk staff are always super friendly and things are nice and tidy. The bar staff, however, is usually pretty horrid. They always put me in a bad mood because they're haughty and can't be bothered to take your order. You're supposed to get a free sake if you're a guest, which is a nice touch, but the bar staff always make me feel like a total dolt for even asking for it. They really ought to just bring it out to you rather than making you suffer having to convince the bar staff to give it to you. The last time, I decided to forgo the embarrassment and order a beer, (not free) which took 10 minutes to arrive, and fries, which took another 20 minutes to arrive. No customary "Omataseshimashita," ("thank you for waiting") just threw it under my nose and told me I'd have to pay immediately, even though I had asked to run a tab at the time of ordering since a friend was meeting me and was going to order something too. Just unpleasant and I'm kinda tired of it happening every time so don't think I'll recommend the place anymore. It's a shame.

Friendly enough staff but rooms are poor!

Stayed for one night in August (34 Degrees outside temp). Bar downstairs is nice and the staff are friendly. The shower and bathroom facilities are perfectly acceptable, but the room I stayed in let the whole place down. Air conditioning was weaker than an asthmatic gerbil and there was no window in the room (room 5). Woke up in the morning covered in sweat. In fact I think the room was basically an afterthough. Was probably originally a cupboard. When I checked in, the sheets were not on the bed and the member of staff just put the pillow case on for me and gave up. The bed above remained unmade for the duration. The last complaint was that room 5 is next to the communal area. Was woken at 6am by a rude family who let their child bang on every door he could and didn't shut him up for over 2 hours. Children will be children, but that is not an excuse to bother the rest of the paying customers. Staff on sight should have told them to shut him up or check out! You can't expect silence in a guest house, but a bit of consideration for the other paying customers is a bare minimum. For that reason alone, I wouldn't recommend this guest house. Price is 3500 yen, for around 1000 more there are hotels in the nice Nishikawa area where all the bars and Izakaya is.
