Liked: Staff & service

古民家の雰囲気があって良い。お茶なども気軽に飲める。床が畳で床板の造りが甘いせいか、足音がドタバタと響きやすい。絶対に静かに寝たい人は足音で起こされてしまうこともあるかもしれません。

#### Very cozy remodelled warehouse

Great location. Close to the nice areas around the river and not a long walk from the station. The hostel also has two bikes that can be borrowed free of charge, and although unfortunately one of the bikes were broken, we were able to borrow bikes for free from the city - Nice! The interior of the hostel is super nice and cozy, and the hosts are very kind and always helpful. Only downsides were that it was quite cold in the house and the bar seemed to be closed (so we could not use our drink discount tickets) but it is also quite understandable as we were the only ones there our first night. Would stay again!
