i didnt like how uncomfortable the capsules were. the pillows (its usually inside i feel) are on the outer side of the capsule because the air circulation is just so bad on the inside. Also poor lighting inside the capsule, feels very run down

small but well designed hostel with excellent location. everything works except….noisy guests there is no enforcement of noise in the bunks, its a typical problem with many non-japanese guests who stay in groups (not solo). they talk loudly (couples or groups taking single bunks) totally oblivious to all the rest of people sleeping. yes, and they use the hair dryer at midnight, and thats not all…

国際通りから少し外れるため静かなエリアだが、駅チカでアクセスが良くドミトリーもセミダブルくらいの広さで天井も高く快適。 近くにコンビニ大手三社もあり不便なし。 階段で二階まで荷物を運ぶのが一苦労ではあるが価格を考えると妥当。 宿自体は大きな不満はないが、利用客の質の低下が気になるところ。水回りの使用後が汚いためチェックイン時にマナーを周知して欲しい。せっかくおしゃれなのに安かろう悪かろうになりつつある。以前から利用していて気に入っているだけに残念なポイント。 リーズナブルな価格なのに個別にアメニティを提供してくれて親切。総合的にはまた利用したい宿。

昨年 利用して良かったので 今年も利用させて頂きました。 国際通り、ゆいレールも近いので 交通の利便性も良いと思います。 もちろん、宿泊施設もキレイで 居心地が良い。 スタッフの方々も親切です。 最低限のアメニティ(歯ブラシ、ボディタオル、 シャンプー、リンス、ボディシャンプー、綿棒、スリッパ)等があります。 鍵付きのロッカーを1人1つ使えるのも良いところです。 フロント以外は かなり静かでなので 寝るだけなら 問題なく利用出来ますね。
