We had a private room so didn't feel like a hostel, other than the shared bathroom. Almost felt more like a pod hotel, with private rooms. Great showers and bathrooms, and cool kitchen and lounge area. The bunk beds were great with privacy curtains. Only "complaint" is there is no water dispenser to fill up your water for the day, or breakfast. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonino 5 Mar 2026 Good place ##### Antonino Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alejandro 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect ##### Alejandro Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You get a no thrills clean experience that is dirt cheap relatively ##### Dennis Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manabu 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was great!

Great hostel facilities, clean, spacious, comfortable, with all the necessities well looked after, and completely functional. The guests were all very respectable and there are no unnecessary frills. Would much rather stay here than any chain business hotel. One note is that I'm a sento/onsen addict, and although there aren't any on premises, there are a few nearby in the neighbourhood -- great way to get to know the vibe of the area! ##### Kane Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tobias 5 Apr 2026 Liked: Staff & service Gute Lage, grundsätzlich auch eine schöne Unterkunft, jedoch sind zum Beispiel keine Handtücher enthalten und das Bett musste selbst be- und abgezogen werden.
