Iwashi Bldg

Nice and stylish hostel. However, if you have inconsiderate flatmates during your stay, your overnight stay will be hell. Not only will you have noise throughout the night, but you'll also get the smell of food from your flatmates and, of course, the lighting that goes across all the rooms. Three showers across two large families will keep you waiting a long time. That is the disadvantage of the concept. Towels can be rented for a fee. Very friendly staff. Clear rules of behavior for (foreign) guests (which are usually self-evident) visibly pointed out, could be may helpful.

Perfect one night stay. It's definitely aimed towards the younger, savvy travelers so 56 year old me having a comfortable stay made me feel good about myself...Super clean, super friendly staff that made sure my bicycle was safely locked up for the night. 2024

The lemon cheese taiyaki skin was crispy and the taste was amazing 😊 The balance of lemon and cheese was good and I ate it all up 👍

Really nice and stylish hostel with semi private rooms . Everything was spotless clean and very well maintained. The owner is super friendly. We can’t really understand some of the negative comments. By seeing the pictures it is obvious that the rooms have some space between the ceiling . Yet it offers more privacy then a dorm. We were allowed to store our bicycles inside . The washing machine costs 100yen including soap. Great place and we really enjoyed here taking a break for several nights .

This is my impression of the hostel.The room is Necafe style and you need to be considerate of the people around you.All towels can be rented for a fee, and toothbrushes are also available for a fee.Even linen changes are charged.It feels like a basic hostel.Personally, I was very curious about theThe question is, "Has the owner ever stayed at the Sardine Building?"The hostel in Sardine Building is stylish and clean, but the environment is not designed from the guest's perspective.There are three main things that caught my attention about the hostel in Sardine Building. None of this is a big deal, but I think it shows how much Sardine Building is a hostel that doesn't think from the guest's perspective.① There is not even a single tissue paper available in the hostel.There are no tissues anywhere in my room, in the sink, or in the common areas.Of course, there were no paper towels.② There is no microwave in the hostel.Of course there is no refrigerator. There is only an electric kettle.③The entrance doors of each room are too short.The door to my room is only about 130-140cm wide.Both men and women should enter and exit half-way.It's too meaningless.The above three points, especially ① and ③, are meaningless. Tissues aren't expensive and are a necessity, so just keeping one in a shared space will improve your comfort level. As for the door, they may be trying to make it look fashionable by giving it a fancy shape and size, but it's extremely inconvenient.All of the above ① to ③ are met as usual in other hostels. (I stayed at both Minshuku Akune and Shioya Hostel.)If the owner were to stay there himself, he would realize that Sardine Building's hostel does not have the minimum environment that a lodging facility like ① to ③ should have.Also, there is a door between the guest room area and the wash basin, but the sound of the door closing is very loud, and I wake up every time someone comes in or out at night or early in the morning. . Clever people will close the door slowly by hand, but unless you close it slowly by hand, it will make a loud clanking sound.If the owner stays in the room himself, he will probably want to adjust the door closer. The sound is at that level.Shioya Hostel is 350 yen more expensive than Sardine Building, but the environment is perfect. It's a huge difference.Minshuku Akune costs 3000 yen, which is cheaper than Sardine Building. Although the cleanliness is disappointing, the environment is very fulfilling.I felt that they were only focusing on creating a stylish space from a macro perspective, and not creating an environment from a micro perspective from the guest's perspective.Most of the high ratings for Sardine Building are for the food, such as taiyaki, breakfast, and coffee, and it's best to keep this in mind when considering your stay at the hostel, as most of the reviews praise only two things: cleanliness and style. I think so.

A lovely place where we were very well received. This place deserves to be better known.

・・#Akune City#Sardine Building#Port town taiyaki lemon jam and cream cheese・The center of the vortex of “Akune is hot”The management company's sardine products are not only stylish, but the local branding is also outstanding!・Taiyaki is the signature menu item at the cafe space attached to the first floor shop.・Jam and cream cheese made with seasonal lemons from Akune are the perfect match for the crispy dough! The salty cream that comes with it brings out the sweetness of the dough and filling!・Purchase a hand towel with a design of your favorite sea urchin!・However, since the day I went was on a Monday, I hadn't been to more than half of the stores I wanted to go to.Next time! ! By the way, I already got the Nagashima-limited Shima Musume.・#Akune City Gourmet#Akune City Cafe#Akune Cafe#Akune Gourmet#Sardine Building Taiyaki

I recommend this accommodation if you go to Akune. It is a very comfortable place, with very good services, well located and with very attentive and friendly staff. I must also say that the 2 nights I was there, I suffered from a guest's cigarette smoke. It is an accommodation with a smoking ban, but there are people who do not respect anything.

There are stylish and carefully selected products.And the taiyaki was delicious.

Highly recommended, good quality and cheap, everything is very comfortable
