Really expensive! I end here because I get stuck in Kofu. Noisy, from your room you can ear the people at bar just downstairs. The bathroom is a cabin who is in the room. So you can hear everyone using it anytime.

The little common space is a bit messy but comfy. And you can find the necessary. The staff seem very nice.

The industrial style of the hostel. Makes it less comfortable and clean compared to most other Japanese hostels/guesthouses

Stayed in April 2024

The bathroom was really small. And the common area ist not really nice and the front door does not seems really safe.

The area of the hostel is quite good. And you can prepare the checkin online.

Ok

I was a little scared because there are no handrails on the stairs.

I arrived outside check-in hours, so I only spoke to the staff on the phone. I learned how to do self check-in and how to get the key. Other people were sleeping in my place, so I had no choice but to use the upper bunk. I had a hard time getting down because the ladder was at a right angle. However, the people in the same room seemed to go to the mountains, and when I woke up, they were gone. I didn't see anyone during my stay. It was a strange hotel. Thanks to you, I could use the room as much as I wanted.

It's comfortable enough to stay one night but don't expect much.

I really wanted to like this place. The photos made it look fun, lively and social. I was surprised when I walked in that there was no one to greet us. It was just an iPad check in and you get the key from a box. In the photos, it looked like there was an active bar to socialize and meet people but the lights were off and it was being used as a storage area. It was just a mess. The kitchen and shared space looked sad and the further I went into the guest house and up to my room, I honestly felt like I was paying a lot of money to feel like a squatter. At least we had our one private washroom and the room itself was okay. I had booked the room for 2 people but they only had one set of towels so I went downstairs to see how I could get in touch with staff. There was a landline with a phone number to call. They apologized and did bring the towels eventually but I just felt like this place was missing the mark on everything.

The fans in the room had quite a large build up of dust which wasn't very pleasing to view and was a little concerning to sleep with. It was also a shame that there was never any staff in the hotel despite it being advertised with a bar, the bar was completely closed and the desk never had any staff, all check-in/out is done through an ipad.

Being a solo traveller having a large room to myself was a real treat, the tatami flooring was very spacious for 1, but would be topped and tailed if 4 people stayed.

It was kind-of a weird vibe when I got there. No staff in the evening or morning when I was there. I didn't meet anyone else. Just music playing in the kitchen...it felt a bit weird. But nothing went wrong and they gave good directions on the check-in.

It is walking distance from the train station (about 10-15 minutes). Close to 7-11, places to eat. No one else had booked the dormitory so I had that all to myself! Comfortable.

One tiny Japanese "unit bathroom" is definitely not enough for 4 people. It was inconvenient even for 2 people.

The location was good. The room was clean. Anyways this place was value for money.

Incredibly nice staff and a great location to see Kofu and the surrounding areas

The hostel wasn’t clean at all. There was even a old, used bandaid at my pillow. Didn’t Seem like they had washed or corner anything for a long time. Would not recommend this hostel

The staff is very friendly, we spent a night talking and drinking Umeshu (made by them) together. Room was warm and the bathroom clean. Super reccomended!

No staff seen, looks like they hadnt been in days as linen bag was over flowing. Kitchen was filthy. Bathroom was filthy. Bedspread had stains, curtains didnt close, bed curtain looked like a murder scene. Shower had no hot water.

It had a bed, and was nearish the station

- This place needs some serious CLEANING - The bathroom was disgusting, kitchen and common area have stains everywhere - The room was so dusty - Unlike every hostel I stayed at in Japan, you get to keep your shoes inside - The whole place smells like ashtray, thrash and sweat - By far the dirtiest hostel I stayed in Japan and arguably in the world.. and I stayed in hostels in 20+ countries

Cheap, in every sense

Stayed in November 2023

Main problem was that the whole place was very dirty

Stayed in November 2023

When I first arrived I thought the place is closed. The smell was not pleasant, everything is messy and fortunately no staff was around. I’m hoping that the owner of the place will return to operate the place in a serious and pleasant way for the traveler. The potential is definitely visible and it seems that before the covid-19 there was a good activity in the place.

The guesthouse is in a good location. I was just myself in the traditional tatami room and it was good. The room is small and not fitting for four strangers people. Very nice kid was carrying on the place.

I never wrote a review on booking but your guesthouse doesn’t make me feel good. I left the guesthouse at 3:30 and the door downstairs to the street was still open. The bathroom was really dirty, no body soap, no shampoo, also the common area and rooms where dirty. I tried to do not touch anything. The ‚bar’ looks like a messy storage room. Then the communication beforehand wasn’t any constructive. So never again! It looks like nobody is putting any effort in this place anymore. Trust the other bad reviews. It‘s true!

Bed sheets were fresh.

Hosts were super nice and very centrally located to the bus stop. Had a fun party at the bar area at the hostel and met locals, 10/10

no television. the room lamp is very dim.And hallway is bad smell

I don’t like the property

Stayed in August 2023

Would be nice to meet staff maybe... But it's their choice to work remotely. In any case, the remote system worked perfectly.

Very good value for money. Great location, not far from station and Maizuru Castle. Clean, nice room with big windows, cosy shared kitchen. Air conditioner worked perfectly. We didn't meet staff in person, but during our stay they arranged a nice opportunity for hotel guests to buy delicious Yamanashi peaches for a good price.

The A/C in room 201 does not work, and it got so hot that it was difficult to sleep. There is no fan either. Opening the window didn't help either as this was the middle of summer. There is no staff and no response to any of the questions I sent via booking.com. Not a problem in winter but in summer? It felt like hell in room 201.

You don't have to leave the room to shower and use toilet; a plus in the mornings as long as it's not full.

It is not at all as it is shown in the pictures! DO NOT FALL! At some point it might have lloked like that, but looks more in an abandoned stated than anything. The check in is automated, never saw any personnel. Once you check in you get a physical key for your room. The bar was closed in a semi abammndoned state full of stuff, looked quite bad. The terrace is unusable, completely abandoned and fmwood floor broken. The dorms are rooms of 4 beds with the shared toilet inside the room, with a shower quite small that is not enough if many guests in the room and noisy. The first day I think I was completely alone in the hostel and felt really weird, really like sleeping in a semi abandoned place, never saw anyone and was alone in that room; if it wasn't because it was in Japan, I will for sure had search for another place to stay and would not have stayed at all there, too creepy. The second night some people came and was better, at least some life. If you really can avoid it do so, unless it's high season and there is people, then might be better. Hopefully the owners arrange again the bar/common areas and get back to what photos claim.

It was cheap. But read the cons!
