"This place was amazing. The local train was maybe 5 minutes away. The showers had great water pressure. This place had super fast WIFI. There was even a “kinda” beach right outside the front of the hotel overlooking the mountains. The restaurant was super yummy. And the staff was very polite. Great place to stay, should I come back this way, I will totally use again."

"Really great hostel in a great location. Not sure if it was because of the time of year but I didn’t see a single other soul in the hostel, which was strange considering it was one floor. So that was strange and therefore not social at all. Is nice if you’re looking for quiet. Overall good experience."

We liked access to the kitchen and loved the spacious 6-tatami floor room. Only word of advice is it’s an older building with thin inner walls so be sure to keep quiet to respect your neighbors and the staff. Staff were great!
