Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The place was nice. It has a small social area next to a small kitchen. Can say what that’s like as I never used it but it looked fine. The staff were nice and you get a small discount for the pizza shop you walk through to get to the hostel. I would however recommend to those in japan less than a month to get something other than pizza

You get what you pay for with this hostel. It would have been nice if there was storage for your bags by your bed, saves having to awkwardly move other peoples bags when you want to grab something. Surprisingly I was very impressed with the bathroom facilities, very clean and nice extras like the powder rooms.

Excellent hostel

Comfortable bed, quite room, helful staffs, lots of clean toilets and big shower rooms which enough for every one in the hostel. An air-condition in the whole building gives very good temperature, despite very hot climate in the summer. Not too far from train station.

Surprised with room with 24 beds!

Didnt expect staying in a room with 24 beds. Booking website also very misleading, mixed up the photos of other type of rooms. The bed is worse than a capsule bed. Other than that is just ok.

A bit noisy

Bathrooms are excellent. Very clean and tidy all the time and I like the idea of having another room for hairdryers. The room was a bit tiny. Bed was too hard. They divided the rooms by thin wood boards. You could hear people speaking next door. Light will not be turned off as most hostel does and the curtain was not thick enough to block the light. It might caused some trouble with people got sleeping problem.
