Excellent small hostel. Cute concept with the cat shelter, wished we could’ve met them! Only 5 private rooms and a small shared common kitchen space. Very secure using codes for the exterior door and rooms. Self-check in required so ensure you communicate with the hostel via your booking site. We sent passport photos and were given our access code around 2:30pm. Free laundry is a bonus! We loved staying here, it felt like a cosy home. It was quiet so we didn’t have any issues but do note there is only a single shower and bathroom for each gender. Close to metro and supermarket for ease of use.

It's not far from the subway station, it takes about 5 minutes to walk there! There is also an elevator at the nearest subway station exit (Chiyo Prefecture Station Exit 8), so don’t worry if you have big luggage. The location is in a residential area, so it is quite dark and quiet at night, and there are no people on the road. If a girl comes to live alone If you are scared, you may want to consider it, but the price is cheap for one night! It's a better hotel than expected. It has everything you need, including a water dispenser, a refrigerator, a kitchenette with plates and cutlery sinks, a separate bathroom and toilet, and a sink for washing.Although there are only two shared bathrooms, there are actually not many rooms here, so basically you don’t need to worry about waiting for a long time to take a shower.It is very similar to Airbnb, so there will be no counter staff. It is self-service check-in, so there is a check-in time limit. There is no luggage storage. No problems were encountered during the stay, so I don’t know if there will be inconvenience in handling an emergency.-2024-02-03-

Sadly one of our least favorite accomodations on our Japan trip. The rooms are incredibly small and you won't be able to find a lot of sleep here. You are sleeping directly on the floor (no mattress!) - meaning it is super hard and you will have a lot of pain. There is just one toilet and one shower per sex (men need to share with girls though, girls have their own). The walls are paper thin so you hear absolutely everything which decreases the possibility of sleep even more. There are a fair amount of guests that act kind of disrespectful and are loud all night.Apart from that the hostel is really great. You will find all amenitites and even have a free washing machine (dryer included). The location is good with direct access to the metro system and the next convenience store is not far.The check-in process is a bit tricky because you need to send them your passport copies ahead which you will only know 10min before check-in time and may be stuck in front of the door since it is a self-check-in.

It is a clean and cost-effective accommodation.There are two convenience stores within a 10-minute walk.I wanted to use the izakaya on the first floor, but it was disappointing that there were no seats.Accommodation tax is 200 yen per room.

The room is quite small, but very cozy. There is also a washing machine and even an ion clamp. The cat can only be seen through the window~~The curtain will be pulled down at eight o'clock in the evening and he will not be able to see it.Staff will first contact you through the platform and ask for ID to be sent via email. After confirmation, you will be given a password to check in. Remember to pay attention to the message!
