A great youth hostel, quiet and comfortable + a 5-min walk from the train station! We had a four-bed dorm: the room was spacious and the 4 beds comfortable and well separated. Everything was very clean and there is English-speaking staff. I would definitely come back!

Everything but especially the common area / kitchen. It was very peaceful and well equipped. I also liked that everything was very clean. I had a double room and it was warm and comfy.

5 reason to stay here: 1/ If you like me had doubts about staying at the hostel or not because you are afraid of shared bathrooms and toilets - you should not. The cleanest place (not just for hostel level) I have ever stayed: the room, the lobby, the shared bathroom and showers. it sounds icky “shared” but in reality it’s a separate room where you can have you shower in peace and after go to a powder room with brand new dryers to sit and do everything you need. Toilets clean, quite secluded. Yep with Japanese toilets so your tushy is warm and clean. 2/ Coolest looking building The hostel consisted of 2 buildings one in front of another. The ultra modern lobby with coolest ambience to relax amid beautiful greenery. This building was concrete grey colored. The rooms were in the black colored building with automatic doors opening in front of you like you are entering Futurama. Also had coolest lobby with a great collection of design pieces and modern, steel equipped kitchen like out of magazines. 3/ Location, location, location Main tourist attraction were quite walkable with tons of bars, ramen spots, karaoke clubs and one of a kind clothing boutiques. 4/ Stuff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Kudos to the guys! 5/ Price. This one you can check for yourself. Yes, try to book ahead but if you book the last moment it still would be more affordable for price/quality/experience.

Very sweet woman working here and speaking with all the costumers, very friendly ambience, it's an easy place to make friends in the shared tatami space. I really enjoyed my stay, it's close to the station, multiple bus stops and in the city center. The place is very tidy, confortable and nice warm shower with towels and shampoo provided. Everyone is respectful and I could also take an afternoon nap in confortable warm bed. There's a nice clean kitchen you can use and fridge yo put your food. Thank you!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
