This is a capsule hostel so the rooms arent very big all the rooms dont actully have roofs and the walls are paper thin so if u have a snorer next door u may not be able to get to sleep they do offer earplugs and free toothbrushes so so that a bonus

Below average

Solo stay

The location is excellent, a minute walk from the station. The sleep is uncomfortable because of the noise. The keys that guests use to unlock the doors are very loud as well as the doors slamming shut. This happened all night long and made it difficult to sleep.

Excellent location, right across the street from Kumamoto station. Nothing much around the area, 10 minutes tram ride to city centre with restaurants and shops. The hostel intelligently divides guests space into very private cubicles even though it is a hostel. Spotless clean at all times, feels like a business hostel. Will be back again!
