Reviews of 片原楽家 旅人の長浜町家ドミトリー

Right around the corner of the Kurokabe glass district and shopping street, this quaint little guest house gives a glimpse of old style Japanese housing. The self check in process was clear and simple.

The lack of general cleanliness. The privacy curtains were so dusty, the bed linen as well, air conditioning had mildew on it.

It literally so near with the Kurokabe Square and the shotengai. The location is very strategic. The owner is so nice as he helped me bring my heavy luggage upstairs. It is so comfortable here.

Safe, clean, great location, big and comfortable beds, plenty of space in a room. The building itself looks very nice.

Very steep stairs (even for a japanese standards) and rather tight everywhere. The beds are locked, they are like a small closets—while very safe, the airflow was nonexistent, so I had to pick if I want to sleep in a hot, stuffy cubicle or with a doors wide open (aside from a hard door, there wasn't any curtain)

Leaving

The host made it nearly impossible to stay there. It felt like a scam. They make you jump a million hoops before they “allow” you on the property. They refuse to help in anyway and appear to be running multiple listings for the same property.

Very simple and very good organised. Very clean looked really cute.

nothing, even towels were there for 100 yen to rent(i forgot mine). The shower provided shampoo and moisturizer.

Very quiet and calm town , close with biwa lake and castle . The place is really safe because it always locked 24hrs And I really enjoyed it like my hometown . will come again when I visit outside of city kyoto

I don't know how to use air-conditioning on the top one. But nvm it's okay

The location was excellent, but there were many issues. The amenities box was almost empty, the shower room didn't have tissues left, the shower itself was full of hairs, there was a lingering weird smell everywhere. We didn't get notified of how to check out, the check-in was very impersonal, only getting a message on booking. The security also left us worried, as one of our beds could not be closed on one side, leaving the sliding door open to anyone. Overall a bad experience.

The cozy common area, cleanliness of the rooms, cleanliness of the toilets and showers, the ideal location within Nagahama, the welcoming staff, the music played in the living area, everything was pretty much perfect and I would gladly stay there again.

The self check in procedure was a bit confusing and some instructions only got to my phone after my arrival in the common area, but that was solved quickly and in no way impacted my stay.

Self check in works for me. Feels personal. Nice little place to stay. De sleepingarea had enough space for my luggage and bicycle park in front of hostel felt safe.

The stairs can be a hassle if you have a large suitcase. But rooms are big.
