Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The employees are pretty nice but they also live in the same hostel rooms as you. This wouldn’t be an issue but you would at least expect the rooms to be tidy because they are also using them.. but no. The women only dorm had clothes and baggage scattered all over the floor and nudged into corners. The rooms also small really bad and unclean. It’s smalls like smelly socks and BO. I thought to myself How could the very employees live like this!! Thankfully I only booked two nights but I wanted to leave the very second I stepped into the room. This was the worst hostel I stayed at in my whole stay in Japan, sorry.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The staff was friendly and mostly professional. Free coffee and tea in the check in lobby area. PCs to use as well. No laundry machines. The ceiling heater on the 3rd floor was broken or ineffective. My electrical outlets in the bed headboard was broken. The whole place was clean and held together but not comfortable. It's minimalist style was a bit harsh. The loaner slippers were a good idea. The matresses had rips in them but appeared clean and were comfortable. The vending machine has drinks. No food, soup. I also found a 200 yen coin locker a few blocks away but only a small shoebox size locker onsite is provided as a free option w 1000 yen deposit. My rooms floor was covered in backpacks and suitcases. Towels are 200 yen. Only towels are sold, otherwise its 7-11. 7-11 is a close 5 minute, but chilly walk away. Showers had free soap & shampoo. There's free wifi and a code for access after hours. I got a poor night's sleep, was cold in both upper and lower areas. I fell asleep before midnight to the distant rumble of trains (I didnt mind) and noisy fellow bunk mates (didnt care for much). I didn't feel like the place was worth a second nights stay. Probably won't return.

駅から近いし値段も安いので値打ちあると思います。 長期滞在者かな？がベッドルームで遅くまで喋っていたのはちょっと頂けないがこれは宿のせいではありませんね。 外階段から3階に入る扉の鍵が内側からかかっていて、キッチンの冷蔵庫に入れていた朝ごはんのおにぎりを諦めざるを得なかったのは非常に残念。改善して欲しいところです。 近所のタコヤキバーは本当に旨いです。世間がこの店を見つける日もそう遠くないのでは。

エジプト人のマスターが運営されてます。日本語も流暢なのでなんの問題もありません。コンビニも近いし、宿から歩いて10秒ほどのたこ焼きバーが安くて旨くて楽しいのでちょっと呑むにはこちらもお勧めです。
