It's one room but within the same house, so you basically hear everything. People were partying up to midnight and the first floor and if they didn't drop the volume when I asked, I wouldn't have slept. Similarly, there is only one shower and they were 8/9. If they all took one at the same time as I, t'd have taken forever. ^^ Some people mention that's it's dusty, and indeed, it feels stuffy. Note however that it's also due to the material used for the floor which easily catches dust. TLDR: bad isolation, only one shower/toilet for many rooms.

It's specious and in a calm area, 15 min from the station. I didn't interact much with the staff because I wasn't there much except when sleeping. From the few interactions we had he seemed nice. Free washing machine (didn't need it though).

I only stayed 2 nights and I booked last minute so I didn’t remember what I booked lol, I had my own room with Japanese still I mean the whole place is like that which is really cool!, the bath area is really big! Super close to the main mall and train station (walking distance) and also you could walk to go see the castle or the museums (Shin Chan the owner even told me I could use his bike) overall my stay was really great and I couldn’t be more thankful for Shin Chan’s hospitality! Thank you again for everything!

Spacious room and comfortable beds. Felt very welcomed by the staff, and he lend us their bicycles for free. The laundry machine was free to use and the dryer was broken. Shared areas could be cleaner. The living room and the balcony looked nice but smelled of cigarettes.

Though the bathroom and toilet is ok, since it is shared by everyone, sometimes I cannot use it because someone is using.

Staffs are very nice and kind with good english communication. Location is near the mall and station, so it is very convenient. Coffee is good also.

They had tea and coffee making facilities but no crockery to use, very quiet and could not get hold of staff during our stay.

Large twin room, comfy beds, the staff member that checked us in was really friendly and helped with questions about getting to Naoshima.

I couldn't find hand soap so I bought some myself, not a big deal though.

Comfortable beds and pillows. The bathroom had a bath which was handy. I was very fortunate to be able to check in early. The location is great, ten minutes walk to Aeon Mall which has lots of shops and restaurants and a 13 min walk to station.

Convenient and cheap

The booking website as well as the owner kept saying there would be free parking even though there wasn't. Parking wasn't expensive, but it was still a glaring inaccuracy.

The owner was friendly and helpful -- he gave us a free upgrade. He was also flexible, as we weren't sure what time we would check in. The building was clean, quiet, and comfortable.

Some English instructions for the washing machine would be helpful for foreign guests

Shinta was very accomodating and friendly and the room was more spacious then I expected. It's an easy walk from the station, almost one straight road.

slightly worn down and not particularly nice looking but things were clean

bed were comfortable but no kitchen utensils provided, just disposable chopsticks and one knife. Location was relatively close to the train station

Some loud noises throughout the night. Potentially other guests not being respectful.

Traditional Japanese home converted into a hotel. Very quirky and enjoyed my stay here. Staff were nice and accomodating.

It wasn’t the cleanest. When we went into our room and the duvet cover had stains and a hole on it and the duvet was actually twisted inside the cover. The room was also really dusty and looked like it hadn’t been hoovered thoroughly in a while. It was close to the smoking balcony and you could smell the smoke from our room. The shower was also quite weird. It was attached to the laundry room and had a translucent door. So when you were showering, you had to close both the shower and laundry door, locking people out of the laundry and sink for after the toilet. It again wasn’t the cleanest. A bit more attention to detail and thorough cleaning and this place could be great, but as it is, I wouldn’t stay here again.

It was about 15 mins from the main train station. The room was private, spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room also had a lockable door which was great. The staff were also quite friendly as well.

The main light in my room did not have an off-switch, so I had to turn all the lights at night by turning the main switch off, but it was a mild inconvenience compared to the comfort of the room, and the view from the balcony!

So I’d assumed that with such an affordable price, it would be something similar to a hostel. I had read online that it can be that at times online, but oh my goodness, was I pleasantly surprised. Not only was I greeted with hospitality, but treated and accommodated every step of the way. I think this is genuinely the best quality/money value I’ve ever gotten in Japan, and even better, it’s very close to the city center!

Free and easy. Meeting nice people who travel and stay in this place. The owner is nice and friendly. If you do not have heavy luggage it is ok to staying here.

A bit uncomfortable sometimes, the bathroom and toilet room were a bit rough.

The beds were great. The value is really good. The night of our check-in the owner gave us some info about sightseeing in the city. The second night I hung out in the common room with a few other French travelers and a Japanese staff member who offered us food cooked from plants from his garden. We drank and talked and it was a great time. Very friendly staff all around.
