Cheep and cheerful
It was fine, the beds aren't very comfortable, its a very thin futon on a hard wooden board. Also there was a stray kitten in the alley next door that meowed all night and so I spent the whole next day finding it and making sure it was ok... don't think this will be a typical experience though... otherwise it's good for the price :)

Good for physically fit or little luggage
If you are physically fit so that you can lug your luggage up the steps to this hostel on the second floor, you'll enjoy the experience once you get there. The hostel is clean. Our room had tatami rice mats on the floor, although I saw a room with bunk beds. Good, clean showers. Big kitchen you can use. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff.

Great location by the train. Beds a little hard for my soft Western disposition.
Hotel is close to train station,5mins walking, also close to food and shopping area , pretty nice and convenience. However it doesn't have elevator , if you have heavy package may need to asking staffs help you carry on the floor.
I stayed Tatami room for 2days, its really comfortable ~ would like to go back this hotel next time !

Bueno, pero no tiene locker para equipaje
Está muy bien ubicado.
No tiene locker para dejar el equipaje, solo una pequeña caja con llave para dejar cosas pequeñas.
I (26) was in the female dormitory for 3 nights. This is adjacent to the commonroom, kitchen and showers. This caused there to be noise from baning doors, scraping chairs and voices till 1 AM!!! Plus it would start at 6 AM again.. Average of less than 5h of sleep every night. Even the staff was loud after quite time. There was no social interaction with others. I was supposed to be there for 5 nights but I left early because I hated it.
