Disliked: Room comfort
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!

Poor design
The wood flooring causes a lot of noises when people walk around and the 3 quarter wall can not stop the noise from the other.

What I dislike is that the floor is not sound proof ! U could literally hear footsteps of people going in and out of their room which is rather annoying. The walls in between is thin .Any accidental knock , you can hear it all.

Great and relaxing
Great relaxing hotel with hot spring facilities. There's a nice big TV in the lobby, perfect if staying in a large group. Staff were friendly, accomodating and spoke very good English. Don't forget to take off your shoes before entering main lobby! A memorable stay and will visit again.

It’s good for a short stay. Modern, clean etc. There is a big communal space HOWEVER unlike hostels in Japan it does not provide for self catering AT ALL. They want you to pay even for instant coffee. There is no fridge available. Some people on trip advisor are calling it a hostel but it’s really a budget hotel with dorms.
