A really nice hostel in the heart of Naha city. It has everything you could expect of a hostel and it's really cozy besides! It's located next to Naha bus terminal and Asahibashi monorail station, so you can reach any part of south/central Okinawa island in less than an hour. If you want to come to Naha and like hostels, please come here without hesitation.

Luckily, when I was in the military, I was deployed to war zones, and even there we had more space and gas masks. This is in case there is a gas attack. But we don't have that here, and there's no way to escape the smell of damp and cheesy feet. There's not even room to spread out. So if you're looking for a cheap place to stay, I recommend staying in a regular hotel or hostel instead of staying in places like this prisoner-of-war testing facility.Zum Glück war ich in der Armee an einem Kriegsort stationiert, sogar dort hatte man mehr platz und wenigstens Gasmasken falls ein Gasangriff kamm, aber hier wird man dem ausgeliefert und hatt keine Chance dem wiederlichem Geruch von abgestandener Feuchtigkeit und Käsefüsse zu entkommen...Es Also falls sie günstig wo schlafen wollen, sparen sie sich diesen Aufenthalt im für Kriegsgefangene und leisten sich lieber ein richtiges Hotel oder Hostel

It's diversity. We had a great time talking about each other's countries with people from various countries in English. The facilities are substantial and I think it is suitable for long-term stays. Excellent cost-effectiveness. The location is also convenient. It's a little far from Kokusai Street, so you can spend a quiet time. However, there are many convenience stores, supermarkets, and Don Quijote nearby, so you won't have any problems in daily life.

The reception service is good and they can speak English.Youth hostel, bed size is enough.The public space on the ground can also be used to communicate with different residents.Because there is not enough space, the luggage will block other spaces when going upstairs, and it is dangerous to go up and down without a lift, so it is very suitable for backpackers.

The bed area and washroom are separated by just one door, so the sound of the hair dryer echoes throughout the room late at night. It's near the bus terminal and within walking distance from the downtown area, so there were a lot of people who came in late at night and left early in the morning, so the rustling sounds of luggage being sorted and the rattling noises in the bed were terrible.

Earplugs are almost mandatory due to noise from roommates and cars coming from around the building. I have witnessed staff members verbally abusing customers and staff several times. However, there are many good staff members.There are four floors, but there are no elevators, so it's a good exercise. There are surveillance cameras on every floor except the fourth floor. There are no surveillance cameras in the bed space. There were some staff members who were dangerous, but other than that I never felt unsafe. Valuable items will be placed in a locked locker.You can cook, heat food, and use the refrigerator in the shared space.It's basically clean, but don't expect too much.There is a high possibility that you will be able to have valuable experiences with Japanese and foreigners.

It's cheap anyway.Considering it costs about 1,500 yen per night, it's more than enough.The mattress was just the right amount of elasticity and the room was quiet, probably because the lights were dimmed.Other people's reviews say it's noisy at night and the shower is dirty.In that case, I think you should spend more money and go elsewhere.Is it wrong to complain after choosing a cheap accommodation? and.I had a room on the 4th floor, but I didn't have much luggage so I didn't have any problems even without an EV.When I went to the common area around 5am to adjust my departure time, the door was locked and an Indian-looking person was left inside.I would like you to contact me if you have time to use the common area.After that, I had no choice but to leave him and leave.

Close to Asahibashi Station, it's very convenient.It's about a 10 minute walk to Kokusai Street.I decided to stay at this inn because of its low price and convenience.The common areas are clean and the kitchen is spacious and good. If you don't care about the details.The floor area (storage area) and the room where I am staying have a very strong odor. I understand that it is difficult to ventilate the room due to the cold air from the air conditioner, but it would have been nice if they had installed some air purifiers. We also share the water absorption mat in the shower room, but it takes courage to use it. I know it's a hassle, but it would be nice to have a towel mat for each towel.The room is compact. I can hear a lot of noise from people on both sides. It makes a lot of noise, probably because of the way it's made. I think people who are sensitive to sound should avoid this. Earplugs are required. Also, the air conditioning is working so hard that it gets very cold, so I think it would be better to wear long-sleeved clothes. Also, be careful of dryness.Also, when I left my umbrella where I left my luggage during my stay, it was stolen. I was shocked because it was the rainy season and I couldn't go outside without an umbrella. Please be careful when staying overnight as there is the possibility of theft.It's a cheap hotel, so I wrote this while thinking that it was a mistake to order so much.

Correct hostel. The beds are of rather good quality but maintenance of the common areas is of low quality (waste lying around, common room for messy bags). The capsules of each bed are poorly designed: if one of the 12 other beds on your side leaves its light on, your box is also lit, very inconvenient for sleeping.Late check-in time and short only from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. therefore quite impractical.Staff are therefore not very present to keep the place alive.Poor quality WiFi which does not work at the end of the day in the rooms.A common room but the atmosphere was never good during my stay, the fault of some particularly unpleasant guests.Only the location is really attractive, a stone's throw from the bus station.

Really great if you're low-maintenence and looking for something cheap. I stayed for 3 nights and have no major complaints, I'm really happy with my stay.The bedrooms have 20 beds each that only have curtains, not lockable doors, so be aware of that. Also, my curtain rod constantly fell off its slim perch whenever I climbed into my pod (top bunk). It wasn't secured at all and pretty annoying to deal with. Thin walls and, in the case of the curtain, no 4th wall at all so, I recommend an eye mask and earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Also, I got woken up in the middle of the night by a woman who got assigned the same pod as me somehow, so the management tripped up there a bit. Not sure how things turned out for her. She got in after hours so no staff available.I had no issue with the bathrooms, didn't have to wait for a shower or toilet. The kitchen was also well stocked with plenty of silverware, cookware, a rice cooker, and a kettle for residents to use. Though you have to rent towels which was annoying.You have to trust that your neighbor is going to be polite, clean, and quiet enough in the right places at the right time, but for me, at least, they were. There are lockers big enough for me to fit my average-sized backpack in, so I didn't have to worry about my valuables. The lady at the front desk helped me open it when I accidentally set the lock wrong. Also the air-conditioner on the 4th floor was constantly dripping; there was a bucket to catch it, so there's that. Didn't bother me though.The only other problem I had was the stairs. There's no elevator, which wouldn't be a problem except the stairwell was extremely narrow and there was a tight corner at the top of every flight that felt pretty precarious especially when going up or down with luggage. Otherwise, my stay was just fine, definitely recommend.

It was the best accommodation where you could meet backpackers from all over the world. The staff are also very kind and attend to various things. It's cheap anyway!Don't worry about the details and enjoy the encounter 😊

The shared space is also used by the staff, so I feel uncomfortable. Some guests were talking loudly in the room next to the bedroom until midnight. The shower room, toilet, etc. have not been thoroughly cleaned, but they are not that dirty. If you don't mind, I think the cost performance is good.

The best hostel near the airport. The only reason it lost a star was because of one very annoying staff member. I think it's okay to lose one star if the staff cleans while screaming and doesn't even greet you. Ginger curly haired friend. Everything else, without exception, is excellent.

The location is very good near Naha Bus Terminal. The common space on the first floor was also spacious. However, the problem was that the air conditioner in the bedroom was extremely cold (it may be difficult to adjust depending on the season), and the lockers and luggage storage areas near the entrance were stuffy and smelly. The bedroom was designed more like a proper capsule hotel than a bunk bed.

- no regular cleaner( the use guess volunteer for free stay) shared bathroom was messy- stairway is full of dust as well as in side the capsure- no towels provided every single thing is rental.- limited bathroom (shared room was for 20 people but only 2 toilets and 2 showersIn summary, look like its budget friendly but totally not worth the price.

I would like to give it a high score for being able to chat and eat with foreigners on the first floor. Also, the rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean, which is nice. I think it would be okay to go alone

Overall ◎Above all, the cost performance is good! Even if you stay for two nights, it only costs 4,000 yen!The staff are also friendly ^_^However, even if you ignore the sanitary details, you may be concerned about having to leave your large luggage there without a lock!Also, it was my first time staying in a dormitory, so I woke up several times at night due to the noise of other people sleeping.Highly recommended for people who want to save money even if it's a bit of a hassle! !
