⭐︎Location…A little away from the downtown area✩ How to check in...I went to the second floor and the door wouldn't open by 8 o'clock, so I tried to open it several times and the staff came.(It seems that the staff will be gone after 8 o'clock, so is it difficult to check in after 8 o'clock?)✩Toilet…2 rooms (Western style)✩Washroom and shower room…2 rooms (available 24 hours)✩ Hair dryer available✩Tissues etc. available✩Microwave/kettle/cups etc. available in a typical guest house✩The common space has stairs and a narrow ceiling, so it doesn't feel like a comfortable place where you can talk to many people (the staff are also next door).✩Checkout is just a matter of leavingAll bedrooms have bunk bedsIt was ok to go anywhere that was empty.✩Two outlets available✩With light✩Two hangers included✩Please note that this is a unisex dormitory (there is no dormitory for women)*Since it cannot be completely closed with curtains, it will feel a little empty.◎Sheets are already laid out from the beginning, so you don't have to make your own pillows. The only thing I had to do was put the sheets between the duvets (which was great, since it's difficult to put them on in such a small space).*I stayed on Saturday and Sunday during a three-day weekend, but the bar was not noisy.→It was surprisingly very comfortable and I slept easily and comfortably.→It said earplugs were free, but they were unnecessary.*The door was not noisy.More than 10 people in a very small room? Because there areIt is possible to wake up because of people in the morning.*There are no lockers, so safety is low. Of course there are keys to the toilets etc.*No toothbrush or toothpaste*There is no place to throw away trash in the toilet or washroom, so you will need to take any trash you create there to the kitchen.*Suitcases cannot be opened in the bedroom, and it is difficult to open them in common spaces. If I were to do it, it would be outside. (2nd floor part)*If you don't like that, recommend somewhere else.

It is understandable that it is not easy for businesses to operate, but no one is willing to travel during a typhoon. I have expressed my apology and said that public transportation has been suspended for safety reasons. I hope to cancel it, but the business still does not agree to the exemption. I feel that the consumption test is not good. In the end, for safety reasons Consider not going to check in.

Due to recent inboundI get the impression that many foreigners are staying here.There are men and women who are used to traveling, such as backpackers.You can also prepare simple meals in the kitchen.The cost performance may be quite good for those staying for a long time as tableware is shared.There were two private showers (soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided) and two toilets, so it didn't feel crowded.There were some foreigners who left their luggage as shown in the photo, so if you are worried, I think it would be better to take good care of your valuables.(But, if you do something bad, you'll know right away 💦)It is charming to have bedsore sounds and snoring.It is better to bring your own toothpaste, face towel, and bath towel.(Because there is none)However, you can rent bath towels for 100 yen, so don't worry if you forget to bring your own.I think this is a place that will bring a sense of nostalgia to those who have experienced Hokkaido's bike/bicycle touring, outdoor activities, camping, backpacking, etc.!(^-^)✨

The hostel is located on the second floor of an apartment building. The room is very new and overall very comfortable and very clean with a cozy lobby. Compared to other youth hostels I stayed in, there were particularly many Western tourists carrying large hiking bags. Since the business district of Odawara City is concentrated around the station, there are few restaurants and supermarkets near the hostel, and there are no washers and dryers provided. It takes you approximately 8 minutes to walk to the laundry and the centered area of ​​the city . But overall it is still very comfortable, and it is recommended for solo travelers!The hotel is located on the second floor of an apartment building.

I just came from Shizuoka. There was a big difference in the quality of the accommodation. When I came up, the front desk clerk happened to be out. I had to leave my luggage outside and go around for a while.But the service from the counter staff is very good
