One downside is the smell of shoes at the entrance, which was not very pleasant. It is the first thing you notice when you walk in, so this is an area they could definitely improve.

I reserved a private room with two futons — they were comfortable, and the place is very quiet. The showers and toilets are located on the first floor and are shared with other travelers, which should not be an issue if you are used to hostel environments. The hostel is about an 18-minute walk from Sendai Station. However, if you are carrying large luggage, I recommend taking the local train to Itsutsubashi Station — from there, it is only a 5-minute walk. Note that the building does not have an elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs. 7 eleven stores and convenient restaurants close to the premises.

You can hear people talking, walking, opening and closing doors from the dorm. I wish there were conditioner in the shower

15 min walk from the station, Konbini nearby, cosy living room, Haikyu volumes in Japanese (where are the final ones?), comfortable beds. Very nice place

Air conditioning vent was blowing directly in my top bunk, blowing fluff and dust on my - my bed was covered in small bits of stuff in the morning - I am allergic to dust so I had to take medicine during the night.

Spacious, friendly, great facilities

Just not the cleanest.

I had a great time at this hostel—it's a fantastic place for meeting people and having fun. The staff are really friendly and do a great job of bringing guests together. I made so many good friends during my stay, which made the experience even better. The location is also great—convenient and not far from the centre of Sendai. I slept well and ended up extending my stay, which says a lot! That said, it’s not the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It was okay for me, but if you’re someone who values spotless spaces, it might not be the best fit. Overall though, I had a good experience and would recommend it for the social atmosphere and great vibes.

However you have no personal storing space in the room, and the ladder of bunk bed is hard to get up.

Great hostel almost have everything you need. Clean and nice shower facilities, comfortable mattresses.

Bed was pretty comfortable but the curtains for too and bottom bunk are semi shared which makes it a little difficult to keep privacy without affecting the other party. Make sure you are aware of late checkin time. Unable to leave luggage early due to limited front desk hours.

There were two Polish ladies volunteering there, so their English skills were great. The house had all kinds of cool stuff to play with and there was lots of room. The one eye house cat stole the show though.

You have to look for it a bit, other than that no notes.

Very homely atmosphere and vibe, the staff are very friendly and helpful and love to hang out with the guests as well. Also they have a cat. Will definitely be going here again

The bed is a little bed hard is the only thing I didn't like that much.

It was clean, everyone was very friendly. They offer some products to buy, but you have some konbinis and restaurants straight around the corner. They offer a laundry and dryer as well.

Nice big place. Near the centre.

I had the upper bed, which had very flat stairs, so it was difficult to get down. I used the wall for balance, so it was managable.

Close to the station (10min walk), very friendly staff, well equipped kitchen, lots of room to sit and relax. Close to several stations. Very quiet at night.

My roomates are very noisy and did not even bother to think about others.

I like the watm welcome of the staff and how they treat their guest.

The bunk beds moved at the slightest touch, swung around a lot, and made a lot of noise. The bedrooms and the shower room were cramped. Also, although the staff mentioned above was nice, the one that succeeded him was a teenager who didn’t interact with people, always on his phone, and didn’t even try to say a single word in English, letting Google translate do the talking instead of using his own voice. Although, to his credit, he solved a wrong reservation on my part (ordered a female room bed instead of a male one). Maybe it’s just that the other one set the bar really high.

The place was fun and alive, the manager knew the place very well, even had pictures of many stores owners from around the area, one of them is an excellent Izakaya (デデデでん). He was friendly, energetic, and tried really hard to speak English. They also had cats. The place was well maintained and nice and the price was good.

The bedroom itself was slightly small (the bed was of course fine)

Good level of privacy with a curtain in each bed, very clean and hygienic! The hostel cats were very cute and there was a nice atmosphere in the main kitchen area

The room was cold, the check in is quite late (5 pm) and not sure how the check out works, the staff informed it was up to 10 am, I needed to go at 8:30 am but no one was at the front desk when I went out. I just left my stuff there (because they told me they could store my stuff) and when I returned still no one, I just took my bags and left.

The staff was nice and took the time to explain all the amenities, bed was comfortable. Nearby subway station. They kept my luggage for a while after I checked out
