This time of year the cafe was closed and dinner had to be reserved. Warmer months would be better. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sean 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel offers dinner which is good considering the lack of options nearby. Food is a little expensive but it came as a full course meal with a unique sakura dessert. Other guests were generally quiet but since the rooms/pods only have a curtain to close them you can hear noises clearly ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 18 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All facilities were in top shape, very friendly staff and delicious dinner options. All beds/rooms are arranged like “capsules” with lockable curtains providing a modicum privacy, but of course let every noise through. That goes for single beds, single bed rooms and twin rooms. Regardless, would highly recommend for 1 night stays! ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 14 Jul 2024 ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Comfortable and relaxed hostel.
