いい場所だったと思う。 綺麗し、皆が親切し、安いし、そして外国人に人気が強い。 小さい問題だけ。大きなロッカーがないから、客は皆荷物をもってへやに入る。あの荷物は、時々変な臭いがでる。 Nice cosy place populat with foreigners. Clean with good facilities and kind staff. Just doesn't have big lockers and some people's belongings smell strange.

It is really not nice place, I wouldn’t recommend to stay there to anyone. I had a room next to reception and there were people talking till late night which I could hear in the room. However I must say people at the reception are nice.

Decent for a couple of nights

When they say the hostel is closed between 12 and 4 they mean literally closed and you can't use it! We got back at 3:15 one day and they wouldn't let us in, which was a bit weird considering there was a member of staff sat in there. The common area was also always taken up by the various staff members which wasn't very welcoming. The hostel was ok though, the location was decent if you had the travel pass to get into Hakone and the cooking facilities was okay also. Free tea and coffee is always nice but we weren't actually told about this. We only stayed two nights which was fine, any more though and we may have felt a little squashed with the limited communal space.

Nice one.

It was a great hostel! The beds could be a bit more comfortable but the bathrooms and showers are really clean. They could be bigger but at least they're spotless :) the lounge area is really nice and the employees are welcoming! Definitely recommend for backpackers.

Clean and close to the station

Hostel is not that big but good for a stay. Bathrooms are modern and the bedrooms were clean and tidy. Hostel does not have much room for a common area but big enough based on the number of guests it can hold.

A great hostel for a budget traveler

I stayed in the hostel for my weekend trip to Hakone. The hostel is located a short distance away from Odawara station, which makes traveling to Hakone or other close stations convenient. There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. The hostel was easy to find, clean and had a small communal kitchen with utensils and snacks. Showers had free shampoo, conditioner and body soap. The shared rooms were comfortable and clean, with closable curtains, power outlets, and lights on every bed. The beds are nice and roomy. Rooms also had air conditioning, but I can imagine it can get hot during summer, so I suggest on choosing a bed closest to the AC during summer months. The floor-area can get crowded with everyones luggage, so taking a small bag might be a good idea. The staff was nice and friendly, most of them spoke very good English. They seemed more than happy to sit and talk with quests on the communal areas. They can also recommend restaurants, clubs and sightseeing spots nearby. The hostel is closed every day from 12:00 to 16:00, so take that into account. They officially lock their door at 21:00 every night, but it's possible to get in by using the number pad on the door (the staff will tell you the code during check-in). The hostel can hold your luggage even after checkout, which was a great plus. Overall my stay was great. I'd recommend this hostel to anyone who is on a budget and is fine with sharing a room.

Tiny.

Tiny. Dorm rooms with no place to store your cases, tiny but useful kitchen, convenient to train terminal where we had the best soba bowls. Guests from all over, good company..if you're not claustrophobic we,d recommend it.

Nice hostel!

How I can discribed the plum hostel. It was the best moment I had during the trip in japan. Hayato the owner is really a helpful person. He 'll try the best that is could and even more to help you to find your way around Hakone and the surronding. Speaking of the place, really nice place small but you 'll feel kinda like home. If you take the time to speak with hayato and the other guest. The neighborhood is very convinent a lot of restaurant ( japanese, chinese,occidental and other), shop and gaming center. In the overall it a great place for backpacker and other people. Not to far from tokyo like 20 minute and 2 hour to kyoto. Try it! If you could stay for more than 2 night you 'll feel the magic of plum hostel and odawara!

A no frills but comfy option

The hostel is not fancy, but provides everything you need. Rooms can get a bit crowded with luggage, but the beds are comfortable and have privacy curtains, as well as individual outlets for charging your electronics. There are two showers and you can rent a towel. There is a small kitchenette area and a very cozy seating area in the lobby. You are only 10 minutes from the train station, and probably less if you aren't dragging a bag. You are just around the corner from a street with bars/restaurant/karaoke if you are there on the weekend. You are only three train stops from Hakone (10 minutes?) making this a close and budget friendly way to see the sights there.
