Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Adults-only policy — The hostel only accepts guests aged 18 and over, so families with children cannot stay here.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is strictly between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Dormitory-only accommodation — The only room type is a mixed dormitory bed, so there is no private room option.
- Compact sleeping area — Several guests note the rooms are small but cosy – fine for a short stay, less so for those wanting extra space.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere – the hostel does not accept animals.

8.5Verified guest“Brilliant value for money. Very close to the station, the kitchen with utensils was a lifesaver in summer, the air conditioning was perfect, lockers were secure, and the neighbourhood was quiet. Easy self-check-in, affordable for groups, well-equipped pantry and toilet, and a convenience store nearby. Simple, inexpensive, comfortable and clean – great value, right by the JR station.”
