Near to Atami Station

-

The beds were comfortable and I loved the AC in the dormitory and how cold it blew. Its quite nice after spending so much time outside. Also the staff were very welcoming and great people to talk to!

Beds are a bit too creaky. Can hear quite a bit of movement especially if you are staying on the bottom bunk and the person on top moves alot. But other than that it was great.

Location is close to the station and convenient store.

The property was not good as the one shown on the picture. Toilet has no bidet, the room is damp, smell weird and humid. The ceiling was not furnished. Some pipes and cables were exposed. The wall has so many holes so you can hear people talking from the next room.

It was very comfortable. There was nice common area. The bar downstairs was nice and stuff were amazing.

Where can I start! This has been one of the best place I have stayed in Japan. The host was amazingly nice, the personal very friendly, they can speak English so it was easier. Staying there was like therapy. Great atmosphere, art everywhere even in every bed. Really comfortable and warm.

I liked everything

The staff were all very friendly. After hearing that there's some snoring noise in my room, they immediately helped me to change to another room. The bar is good. There're a lot of people hanging out there. Chill Vibe. Overall, it's very nice for social people. The wifi was good and the study room was amazing. I was able to do some work over there and met some cool new friends.

mainly that a roommate came back to the room pretty late like 1:00am and woke me up because of the noises he/she made. The noises continued for 20 mins. Then the person starts to snore immediately after he/she fell into sleep, and I could no longer sleep for the snoring. I paid a relatively higher price (like 9000 yen) since I booked the place very close to my trip date. That disappointed me more about not being able to sleep well.

Kind staff, great location, and there's a cool bar with great vibes down below.

I paid extra for a larger space in a mixed dorm... The pictures were a bit misleading. I did have more privacy space, but it was much smaller than it looked. Still decent for the price, I suppose, just not what I had expected.

I had such a great time! Mayo the owner and all the staff were so kind and gave the best recommendations! I even got a short Japanese learning session. Loved the Bar and the hang outs and the food. One of the best hostel/ guesthouse experiences! I wish I stayed longer!Also I enjoyed Atami and the surrounded area. The location of the guesthouse is perfect as it’s so close to the Station and you can just take a train/ bus to explore Atami, the peninsula and also Fuji Area! Thank you for this experience!

The bed space was quite large and comfortable and the shared space had a nice view. The staff were friendly and accomodating, and a welcome drink is offered. You can also leave your suitcase/bags before and after check-out. The hostel is in a convenient walkable distance from Atami station. For a quick one night stay, there's nothing to complain about. Fun fact: A manga artist used to live in this building, so it was cool seeing his original art.

Just be wary that the check-in time is from 6-10pm. Towels are available for a small cost and make sure to bring your own toothbrush. You also have to make your own bed and strip it in the morning.

Fairly good price, bar conveniently located below, lounge area also very nice

Kind of pricey for a straight up hostel, was extremely hot in my area, and the owner was like aggressively social wanting everyone to be involved, which is great if that’s your style but not every traveler is there to talk

The staff and owner are amazing. Although it is run minimally, you can go into the bar and meet them and get some tasty food while you're at it. Good location. Comfy private bed spaces. Lots of room.

Dorm beds were nice and big, with their own lamps and outlets. There was plenty of space in the room and a nice window so it didn't feel cramped at all. Bathrooms were decently clean throughout our stay. Definitely a nice chill dorm experience. We didn't check out the bar but it looked nice.

6pm check in is too late, plus you have to make your own bed. After a full day of traveling this was brutal, I don't really understand why I should pay to make my own bed. We had a male staff member come into the female dorm a couple of times without knocking (during the day). I'm sure he had a reason but I think staff should knock/announce themselves before entering a female dorm.

Facilities are available for everything

Mixed room is dark and floor is dusty

Such a lovely place and owner and staff 🥰 I hope to come back quickly and share some more deep conversation over the counter! Thank you for the warm welcome!

Location was perfect, staff was useful.

Nothing specifically

The staff at this hostel were very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. However, the accommodation itself was extremely overpriced for what it offered. I stayed in what was advertised as a "private" space, but it was really just a bunk bed with a curtain in a shared room full of other bunks. The hygiene standards were also disappointing. While the toilet was clean, the sink in the bathroom was dirty, and the shower had hair in it, which was unpleasant. On a positive note, the bed and floor were clean. Overall, despite the friendly staff, the experience did not match the price point, and I would not recommend it for travelers looking for comfort or privacy.

Able to meet new people every night if you hang around the level 1 bar…

No comment

It's very unique to have a bar right under the hostel, perfect for those who want to grab a quick drink during the night The location is convenient since it's only a 5 minute walk from Atami Station to the hostel The staff in the bar is very friendly, they're willing to share travelling information in terms of reccommended restaurants and spots

Not that I could observe during my stay
