Review as an English foreigner. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I arrived in the evening and the staff was not there and would not respond to my messages. Thankfully, a group of older Japanese men were there and helped me get in, choose a bed and get set up for the night. They were great and led to a great Hostel culture. Comfy bed and clean. I would recommend, but make sure you check in early or I doubt the hostel owner will be of much help, unfortunately. Though I may have just been unlucky.

チェックインの際丁寧に説明していただきとても印象が良かったです。 洗面所が1階の鍵のかかるシャワー室と2階にあるのですが、シャワー室にだれか入ってしまうと使えない、2階の洗面台は物を開けるスペースがないのでちょっと不便でした。 部屋に鏡があったら嬉しいなーと思います。 リビングスペースに色々置いてあるので、ドライヤーはそこにあります。 タオルは事前にベッドに用意してくださっていました。 遮音性はほぼないので、玄関の自動ロックの電子音とか話し声とかもろ聞こえます。 私が泊まった部屋は白い壁紙に目立つ虫を殺した跡が… 掃除の時気付くはずなんだけどな… 潰されたまま残っていました。 駐車場はクリーニング屋さんのところの他に、建物裏手に止められるスペースがありました。 少し狭いので、隣に運転下手な人が来たらやだなーった心配になります。 施設の斜め前に19時までやっているスーパーがあり、お土産も少し置いてありましたので、とても便利です。 ホステルはその日のゲストで快適だったりそうじゃなかったりかなりギャンブルなのは国内外問わずいろんなホステルに滞在した経験からわかっていますが、今回は大外れ… 夜遅くにチェックインした多数の小学生くらいの子どもと引率の大人2名くらいがうるさくてうるさくて。 12時過ぎても何度も玄関の出入りがあってその度にピロピロ音なるし、子どもだから気も遣わず普通の音量で話すし、足音はドタドタするしほんとに不快でした。
