Owner stayed up really late for me to check in. Incredible hospitality! Great location next to the shrine and main bus station. Got some food and snacks are free. Very nice to meet new people. The only restaurant in Hongu that is open past 6 pm is only 5min by foot.

This place feels like coming home. After a long five days on the Kumano Kodi, we arrived and were greeted with a lovely bag of food, snacks in the common room, complimentary tea and coffee, nice shower with soaps, and just an overall clean and comfortable space. Like I said, feels like home. Highly recommend.

The stay itself was ok.Snacks are provided when you arrive. Beds are ok. Kitchen has what you need.Im still giving 1 star only because the owner is arrogant and not welcoming.

We stayed here for one night and had an interesting experience… I’ll start off by saying the accommodations were what you would expect for a hostel, not the best but also not the worst. The location of the hostel is extremely convenient and they did provide some snacks and yogurt, bread and a banana for breakfast.We did have an encounter with the host that left us feeling extremely uncomfortable. There were a couple of guests sitting in the kitchen, chatting with each other. One guest was sitting on a dining room chair near the stairs when the host entered the kitchen to show other guests the facilities. Before the guest in the chair had time to move out of the way, the host aggressively pushed the guest out of the way to the point where their chair hit the table. He then proceeded to cuss under his breath at the guest. It was very aggressive and not an appropriate way to treat anyone, especially people that are suppose to feel safe in your home.He created a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment. For that reason I wouldn’t recommended staying here.
