Best choice for last-minute reservation at excellent price. Nice and Cleans Budget hostel, Would go back. The staff was helpful and friendly and there was no language barrier easy to communicate but showers are communal and lacks adiquate laundry. Convenient lockers, multiple bathrooms facilities, one minute walk from Mikawashima Station with restaurants and stores nearby, good lighting and power outlets in bed, felt reasonably safe

close to nearby train station, with nearby grocery market and other shopping conveniences, a well-placed hostel for basic resting modes.. a bit of an opportunity missed is the only single occupancy shower for 24-hour use.. the odds of getting ready in a pace of duty would be slim if so lucky.. with a multiple shower room only open in the evenings.. some outdated props such as empty vending machines and Christmas decorations left as apparent housekeeping awarenesses.. yet still in function to rest with bunks having a bit of extra nook near the bed to place some basic bags or clothing.. all in all worth a stay for the basic needs..

My stay there was nothing short of a disaster. First of all the place is not safe. Doors are open 24 hours, reception is present in certain hours, at night no one is there. Anyone from the street can walk in and easily access even the luggage room. Passwords to the dorm doors do not change, once you know it you can easily come in and occupy any free bed, as happened in my case. My bed was occupied by a person not authorized. She just removed down the curtain (as there passwords too) and took the bed (photo). And this I believe is a common practice. I had to sleep on upper bed because the staff did not want to change the sheets, promising me that I could use the bottom bed the next day. When I came back the next day I saw the same mess as before. No one even thought of making the bed for me. So I had to sleep all nights on upper one. The staff don't care about the guests, not even sorry from their side. There is no proper common area, no kitchen or even basic access to tap drinking water. Although there is hot water from pot. There is only one (!) shower working 24 hours for the whole building. Shared bathrooms inside dorms open without even any partitions, so no privacy. Hostel is close to JR station. But about a 15 minute walk to the subway station. Place is totally overpriced for what they offer. Wouldn’t stay again!

For us it was a very good experience, it’s very near a subway station so we didn’t have to walk much! The room was clean, the only problem was that because the subway station is near your can hear everything and also we didn’t like that the laundry room was on the rooftop and due to bad weather we couldn’t use it.

Ignore the negative reviews, there are a few reviews saying this place isn’t safe and other negatives, honestly, this hostel is great. It’s cleaner every day, beds are decent, location is good with a train station close by and the staff are nice. Really good hostel for the price, recomended!!

Arrived after staff left but was sent an email with bed information and how to unlock curtain. Very convenient, quiet and perfect for introverts.
