In the middle of trying to make it to the meeting just in time,“Just go somewhere with WiFi!”A cafe I popped into.I live in Hokancho,I finally met the cafe that I had been curious about for three years.“Until what time can I use it?”“I would like to use it as a coworking space!”I asked a few questions while fluttering around.They answered kindly.First of all, I ordered curry.It's so painful that I can't eat for 2 hours until the meeting is over.After the meeting, I moved to the counter seat.Curry, spicy, delicious.The atmosphere of the store is good. . .The first image is not bones but coral! ! !

15th walk from Okayama Station in a direction away from downtown.You can walk through the shopping street, so it might be nice on rainy days.A normal dormitory, not bad or bad.The bed is spacious, comfortable and fluffy, and there is no smell.There is only one shower room

A must-see for backpackers! "KAMP", located right next to Okayama Station, is a guest house where you can enjoy special curry!"KAMP" where you can also enjoy the owner's special curryIt's important so I said it twice (lol)The guest house part is average.I've stayed there several times, but lately it seems like they're often staying in an annex.

I was going to Okayama on a business trip and forgot to book a hotel, so I looked for a business hotel in the evening of the day, but all the hotels were fully booked, so I found only hostels and capsules, but the price was a little high, but I got a private room!Reminds me of backpacking when I was in my 20s!The facility was very clean and nice.Everyone should follow good manners 👍The atmosphere at the entrance is cool

Check in was difficult and overly expensive and was given a lot of miss information wasting my day which was supposed to be spent in the city. Find a different place this is the worst hostel I’ve stayed at.

I think this is an affordable accommodation option. Except for the room being a little damp, I was satisfied with the friendly reception and complete facilities.The only surprise was that I lived next door to a friend who snored like a motorcycle. Even though I am a motorcycle enthusiast, I couldn't accept such a loud noise. It made me so miserable that night.

Could soon get a bit stuffy and bad air. My curtains were gard to close and made a lot of noise. No shelf to put my glasses on at night. And on Friday and Saturday, be prepared to be able to listen to the music from the bar downstairs.I actually liked this place a lot despite this. Good vibe, clean, spacious, good location. Would go again.

A guest house for backpackers.The common areas are clean.Depending on the room, some rooms have bunk beds and are gender neutral.I think it can be good or bad depending on the manners of the people in the room.

The restaurant bar on the first floor of the guesthouse is a wonderful space full of exotic atmosphere. You can enjoy delicious meals in an international atmosphere. The owner's homemade curry is especially delicious, and the recipe changes from time to time so you won't get bored. It's the perfect place to drop by, have a quick drink, and enjoy some delicious curry. It's perfect for gatherings with friends or just a night out by yourself.

No more towels to rent, it's impossible to take a shower if you haven't brought your own towel. The toilets smelled bad and the sheets were stained

I stayed here about a year and a half ago.It was a time when the measures against the coronavirus pandemic were not as relaxed as they are now, but all the staff members were not wearing masks. I wondered what it would be like for a store that is in the customer service industry and also serves as a cafe, even though it is a place where individuals usually spend their time.When I was drying my hair after taking a bath, a few people, I think they came to check on the guests, were staring at me rudely, and I heard them talking loudly, saying things like, "Are you using it? I'm going to use it, haha." When we met, he grinned and walked back without saying hello. Honestly, I felt uncomfortable even though I hadn't done anything wrong.The shower room was clean, but the toilet had a strong smell. There is also no safe space to store your belongings other than basic daily necessities such as tissues and beds. I stayed in the annex, and perhaps because there weren't many rooms, the wash basin was small and there weren't many.There was an anti-government demonstration sign posted on the board in front of the store. Individuals are free to think as they like, but honestly I don't think it's a good idea for a store to put up a sign like that.Since it's aimed at backpackers, it may offer a minimum amount of accommodation, but no matter how cheap it is, I don't think it's suitable for a regular stay. Aside from the facilities, this guesthouse gives the impression that there is a lack of consideration overall in terms of customer service. It's convenient because it's close to the station.

In addition to the noise, I would like to note a few other points that I noticed.① Too steep stairsThe guest room was on the second floor of a converted private house behind the cafe you can see in the photo. The stairs to go up there are really steep, and the handrail on the left when you go up there is almost integrated with the wall, so it has no purpose as a handrail.Therefore, we definitely do not recommend this for people who are unsteady on their feet, such as after drinking alcohol, or those who are using suitcases.Those with suitcases seemed to have left them in the corner of the kitchen, which is one of the shared spaces to the left of the entrance, but there is no security equipment (of course?) for that purpose, so I don't think they could sleep peacefully. .② Unsanitary restrooms(*Please excuse the topic of toilets)There are two restrooms under the aforementioned stairs, but the smell of sewage in them is very strong. It would be better if they provided at least some air freshener, but it seems that they are unable to provide such services.
