This hostel.is amazing! The satff was very friendly and helpful. And the kitchen with two stoves allowed us to cook our own meals. The room was very cozy and large, with a very comfortable bed. The shared facilities were clean. And we never had the problem that they were occupied when we wanted to use them.

“Excellent Location, Youthful friendly hostel style accommodation”
Very good location, close to everything and convenient. Beds were comfortable, hosts were kind and friendly. We were a family with young kids and had our own quadruple sharing room, so slightly not the usual demographic for what seems to be a youth hostel and the shared dorm next door but we were comfortable the two nights we stayed and the house is very quiet at night.

“Great guesthouse with the best kind of hostel vibes”
Very well equipped and great vibes. Nozomi was a great host, very helpful and sociable! The guesthouse had all of the facilities you would hope for, and the community/atmosphere it seems to create was wonderful. The private room was pretty good too, very comfy.
