The review is just an honest opinion for a paying guest and the owner is a nice guy but didn't feel like he wanted to open up to be friends. There was an incident where another guest messed with my belongings in the fridge but left a name and I asked Sean who it was but I was a little disappointed and lost a bit of respect with the game of not being candid with me on who it was. Anyways, Sean does a good job but if you're looking for a place for a hostel vibe, this is not the place as it's main goal is just a job. It is just for a quick night sleep with mild noise from the floor below which didn't bother me. The effort is certainly there to make the place comfortable from putting in fragrances, repainting, quick mop and sweep but if you ask me, an actual professional cleaning should be the focus as dust at the areas even in the beds and a deep washroom cleaning is more important. I hope for nothing but the best to take advantage of one of the best locations!

This place is awesome! Great location by the monorail and close to a bunch of restaurants and things to do. The management is friendly and speaks English very well as well as Japanese. I'm going back next time I'm in Naha!

The location is perfect and you can be on the Koussai Street in just 3 minutes by walking. Unfortunately the bathroom is not clean and there is smoking area in the corridor. …

The price is cheap and the boss can speak Chinese. It takes 2 minutes to go downstairs and 6 minutes to the Kokusai-dori light rail. There are three major convenience supermarkets downstairs. It's just convenience
