Pretty good for the price. ##### Minwei Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendan Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 😁 ##### Brendan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shareen Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The hostel has some downsides worth mentioning. One major issue is that the room allows shoes inside, which made the space feel less clean. There was also a musty, unpleasant odor likely due to poor ventilation. The room was quite noisy at night — the person in the bunk above me was frequently rummaging through her luggage, which disrupted my sleep. While I understand that guest behavior is beyond the property’s control, it still affected my experience. ##### Shareen Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Caelan Aug 1, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was not clean. Beds were dirty, bathrooms were dirty, reception was filled with junk, old food in the fridge, they have a garbage dump outside where the washing machine is. False advertisement to say the least. It says they have laundry facilities but it’s just a dirty washing machine. They say theirs a rooftop but don’t mention that you have to buy a drink to be able to access it. And the “drinks” they sell are either canned pop for ¥500 or they make you a coffee/ cocktail in their dirty reception area. Photos show they have a projector to watch movies in the common room but it’s no longer there. I requested a top bunk when booking but they put me on the bottom, when I asked to change they refused even though the whole room was empty most of my stay. Bed area was so dirty I had to request it be cleaned. And people wear their shoes in the room so the floors are filthy. Overall just not a good hostel. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30aeeaca-da1b-4085-b5b2-765af821fc30-1754023064569.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/24bb73ae-c4f0-4c5a-898d-b11a5cda8e80-1754023064561.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/437ec265-a56f-430e-9fb8-a3e2da1eeb7f-1754023063955.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Caelan Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miho Oct 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service とても綺麗でした ##### Miho Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tsuyoshi Oct 22, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 興味なし ##### Tsuyoshi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan Sep 26, 2025 ##### Ryan Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diego Apr 26, 2025 ##### Diego Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### yuri Mar 10, 2025 ##### yuri Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MAYUMI Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### MAYUMI Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ADAM Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### ADAM Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Masaya Aug 31, 2024 ##### Masaya Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Océane May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Océane Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### なおゆき May 4, 2024 ##### なおゆき Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### luna Dec 8, 2023 ##### luna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### ユウキ Nov 4, 2023 ##### ユウキ Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lorna Oct 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Lorna Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalia Sep 21, 2023 ##### Natalia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Koyo Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Koyo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### TAKESHI Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### TAKESHI Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zhou Apr 2, 2022 ##### Zhou Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ##
