Staff and other guests were incredibly kind and talkative, seemed like they had known each other for quite a while and still willing to converse with me.

The "bed" is actually a neatly patitioned cubicle where I can stand up as if in a room. Hostel located right in the walkway up to the must-go temple, with restaurants open till late left and right. Super clean. Hostel of good design: showers, toilets, kitchen, coffee machine etc on ground floor while beds on upper levels, so very quiet for good sleep. Lots of common space to relax in. Staff helpful and informative responding with plenty eating and drinking options. Check in and out can be fully electronic, while staff in place during reasonable hours.

Most of the wash facilities are on a different floor. A bit expensive, upper bed up a steep latter and was so close to window there was less privacy, have to enter back door after desk closes.

The hostel is minutes from the train station, had a welcoming staff, inviting community areas, large capsule spaces, and interesting guests.

Nothing 😁

Amazing value for money! The location is great, the staff is super friendly and helpful and the rooms are big and comfortable. Will definitely be coming back. The walk / steps up the temple are also definitely worth it 😁

The ladder is quite steep for the upper bunks, but it’s secure to the wall and floor.

Very cute and big hostel. The facilities were great and offered very cheap laundry (which is rare)! The beds were very comfortable and the space for each person was big! Very kind and friendly staff that helped to show us around. Shower area was also one of the best I’ve been to.

I loved our stay here, the place is friendly and beautiful. If you have to work then the coworking space at this accomodation is perfect for you. And yes, I want to come back :)

I had an awesome stay at this Hostel, common areas are great, with a lot of space to work. Facilities are brand new and very clean. The dormitory was also really good. This place is perfect if you want to visit the Kotohiragu.

The noise from neighbouring room. There is no soundproofing so we were woken up at 1am by door noises/voices/lights going on.

Great location. Walking distance from station. Comfortable & clean accomodation. Lots of toilets/showers so never an issue to use them. Would recommend.

The shower is on the ground floor but the dorm is on the 2nd floor which is a bit inconvenient.

The staff is very nice and helpful. The common area is spacious and I love the vibe here, very relaxing. Everything is clean and tidy. There is also sufficient private space in the dormitory. But it seems it's difficult to carry large luggage to the upper deck. The girl staff do me a favour by changing my bed to lower deck as there is no booking. I have brought a large suitcase and I can't imagine how I can carry it to the upper deck.

Temperature was a little too warm. I saw the thermostat in the common area was set at 23 degrees Celsius.

Super location
