Reviews of Hostel J Culture168

The place has its own atmosphere, the area around is small but unique. Bed was surprisingly comfortable and the place is pretty nice once you enter the dorm. I was lucky to get a full dorm room for just myself, so I’ll give some extra points for that! Train station is very close and there’s a shopping street and nice small restaurants in the area too. Employees showed me around when I came.

The photos of the place give an entirely different image of the place than reality, to the point that I feel this was done on purpose. The corridor and common rooms are dull, stale, cold, and old. It feels like a prison or an aged concrete built school. I would not mind this at all if I knew about it in advance. I did not get what I thought I was paying for. I personally didn’t mind the dullness of the place, it had its own appeal, but I did feel a little cheated. The toilets are dirty, not in an unsanitary way, but in a worn out old way. They’re small, cramped, cheap, old, just like in a school. The kitchen is fine, also dull, with a teeny tiny mini fridge that fits a few cans of soda at best. The dorm room doors are metallic and old, and you have to pull very very hard to get them open, enough to make me think the door is still locked. The neighborhood gets pretty noisy at night, and there is a karaoke place one floor down which you can hear pretty well, though not that much from the dorm itself. The area feels a bit sketchy, but I personally enjoyed the atmosphere. The hostel puts chains in the stairway as to mean it’s closed, which quite confused me when I tried to return back from exploring the town. The employees were quiet but nice enough. Price was steep for what it was.
