In front of the stationI came here 10 years ago. The boss called people nearby who came to learn Japanese to chat. They talked about what is the most difficult thing for foreigners to learn Japanese.Today, I left a note for me. Fortunately, I met someone who told me the door password when I went out.I don’t know how to turn on the lights in a Japanese-style living room

Perfectly located a stone's throw from the station, it's really a big ++. The manager is very welcoming, however what is a shame is that we discover that it is no longer a Guest house but no longer a hostel , with WC and collective shower (5 bedrooms), but it remains good value for money, ideal for just spending the night and enjoying the surroundings.

The rooms were freezing cold no heating and it was -5 inside the hotel. They provided us with one thin blanket nothing like advertised, the windows were open and unable to close. We are having to seek medical help as one of my friends has developed hypothermia. No food no drink and the toilet facility does not flush.Said in advert the beds would be made up for us. After a vicious scolding by the owners wife we had to awkwardly make up our own beds with no instructions at all.If you like being shouted at, sleeping on a solid cold floor with a stone for a pillow this is definitely the place for you.Didn't really wanna even give the one star but no choice for 0*.

It was a very nice guesthouse. This accommodation may be the reason you want to come back to Nico. The outside and inside are completely different.

Superb location just next to the train station which make this hostel very popular. The owner is very nice as well as the staffs, they tried all the way to assist you. However, back to the room itself, it is far too cramped, you can even walk outside if someone is coming in, I did expected a better environment although the atmosphere was great.
