the places was amazing, the interior design was really cool, the bed was really comfortable, and the staff is actually really nice people, there is a girl that actually speak Spanish so it was easier to communicate; and they have this place so you can leave your luggage even if you check out for a few hours more.

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!

Great facilities, location and wonderful staff! The location is close to many beautiful shrines and there is good transport from here. It's a quiet area, but tgere are restaurants and supermarkets a couple of minutes' walk away. Beds are also very comfortable, and there was a lot of room to put my big luggage which is something I struggled with in previous hostels. The kitchen is small but well equipped, and there are fridges on every floor. The lounge/cafe is very sweet, and the overall atmosphere and design is modern but warm. The showers are also clean and plesant. Most of all- the staff was super kind and welcoming, open to our requests and needs. This was our favourite hostel so far!
