    Dorm room was quite cramped and the breakfast too small

    A hostel in western style with nice interior. The dorm room was quite cramped though. Almost no space to access my luggage except when you take it into the common room. I had some really nice encounters with other travellers and the staff was always kind. Since I booked breakfast, the price went up a lot so next time I wouldn't choose it. All in all I really had a nice stay and would come again!

    The fridge is literally full and smells through my stay. I don't see indication of anyone removing anything or name tags either. It is either hogged by regular guests or simply not maintained. Thus, I didn't get a chance to use the fridge (I wouldn't too, given the smell)! Female toilet was right in front of a Male dorm. No access pass was needed to enter the toilets. For safety, be alert.

    Conveniently located towards the end of the Makishi public market. 10 to 15 mins walk out to the busy tourist street of Kokusai. Cheap bentos and food along the market corridor (a few right opposite the hostel). Full shower facilities provided including towel.

    This is a great place to stay right in the shopping district of Naha. Super convenient location. I expected this place to be busy or noisy but all the guests are very quiet and respectful. That might be Japanese culture. In any event, the place is well decorated and clean. Plus it is very affordable. Highly recommended if you are traveling on a budget.

    It was difficult to find in the night.

    It’s value for money. There were no other guests so our family got a room for 3 one mean and 2 females.

    Shower doesn't have shelves to put your stuff on.. I did find a chair which i used, but there was only one so if someone else wanted to take a shower, they wouldn't have a place to put their stuff Dryer isn't good Location is ok, but not great

    Great hostel all in all. One of the best I've been to in japan. Staff was very nice There's a bus station nearby There's a café in the lobby Plenty of space to relax in the lobby/lounge Place feels clean and new There's a piano and a guitar!

    The atmosphere on the hostel, it is kinda creepy for me. I paid for 2 nights but I stayed for an overnight because I felt so creepy on that place. Also, when you go out to your room, you can smell stinky from the market since it is located inside the makishi public market.

    I like their staff they are so helpful and the aesthetic of the cafe on ground floor. Beds are so comfortable. Clean but it stinky from the public market

    Two old guests seemed to actually live in the 2F mixed dormitory : They coughed all the time, one of them moaned and snored loudly in his sleep, the other one, a drunkard, coughed grossly as long as he was awake, sometimes farted loudly, making their lives between the dorm and the kitchen area and the stay miserable, enerving and sleepless for regular guests (mostly youths). One time I heard the alcoholic one screaming in the restrooms at 6AM, drunk, and I had to go downstairs to use the restrooms of the kitchen, realizing something was clearly wrong after 3 nights spent here (the first one set the tone already). Two other nights he vomited in the restrooms between 4 and 6AM, kept coughing openly and grossly all night. They both looked homeless, one hanging cloths to turn his bedspace into a tent, the other sleeping with plastic baskets on his mattress, « cleaning » his bed sheets, cloths and belongings with a spray... This situation should at least be considered false advertizing in regards to the actual state of the 2F mixed dormitory, feeling like garbage because of the undisclosed « features » of the place the hosts were allowing (one of the female staff was here when the drunkard was screaming in the restrooms, where she went afterwards to do some cleaning I think — and he probably drunk at the bar at night, so they had to know how bad it was). I ignore what's going on with these two guests so I contacted Booking's customer service as I deemed all of this abnormal, unprofessionnal and unacceptable for me as for uninformed future guests. The staff of youths seemed to have no idea how to deal with this issue, yet they somehow happened to host at least one depraved individual affecting their business in a gross way. It's incomprehensible.

    The place was fairly well located and clean. The kitchen area was bland but equiped — with a big fridge otherwise completely packed, and the only thing I stored in it just disappeared the next morning (despite writing my name on it). The price was the main selling point (and yet, it wasn't the cheapest option in Naha) but at the cost of a degraded sleep and stay. The showers were nice. The atmosphere on the 1st floor was fine. The staff was polite. Few positive things to say in contrast to the issues reported on the negative section, unfortunately.

    The kitchen area is good but they could invest in a bigger kitchen space considering the amount of people staying here. Bigger fridge and freezer space would also be appreciated The blinds to cover you in the lower bunks have a little gap where people can see in, I'd appreciate it if they did a blind that just covered the bed the whole way across.

    I think this has to be one of, If not the best hostel I've ever stayed in. I actually stayed here for a week previously a few weeks ago it was just as consistently brilliant as it was when I came last time. The hostel is spotlessly clean everywhere, (not a shred of dust anywhere!) It's an extremely modern and new complex, I personally really loved how the decor and how they laid out the hostel. Brilliant open lobby spaces to hang out with and meet new people. Good kitchen area Extremely lovely bathrooms, very modern, it makes you feel like you are in a much more expensive place! The beds/mattress is by far the most comfy hostel bed I have ever slept in, truly exemplary. In fact, one of the comfiest mattresses I've slept on in a long while!

    The staff was super nice, the room was really spacious. We were able to leave our luggage before the check in and after the checkout. If you arrive early and are tired from the journey, you can get a refreshing drink at the cafe while waiting for the room.
