I have been staying in this wonderful hostel for a long time. It is 3-4 minutes walking distance from Kokusai street and in a great location.. Also, if I talk about my thoughts about the hostel.. I feel comfortable and comfortable every day at the hostel as if I had just arrived. because all possibilities are renewed every morning! you can also speak english with Ms. Maiko at the reception. She has a good command of all the subjects in this hostel, but she is very successful in communication. Also, whatever you want from Ms. Rumi during cleaning hours in the hostel will help you. I would really like to open parenthesis to these two women and thank all their employees.

Ideally set in the Naha City Centre district of Naha, Santiago Guesthouse Naha is situated 5.2 km from Tamaudun Mausoleum, 21 km from Nakagusuku Castle and 22 km from Sefa Utaki. With a shared lounge, the 1-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is 1.5 km from Naminoue Beach, and within less than 1 km of the city centre.

Great location and friendly staff as well as fellow guests. Everyone was pretty respectful and it was nice to stay in one of these places where you have to "check out" at 11a but checking out doesn't mean taking everything out of your capsule as is the case at other hostels.

Dormitory rooms feature bunk beds coming with a privacy curtain, reading light and electrical socket. A harbour view is available in some rooms.

MyPlace is affiliated with a marine sports company called SEASIR, the biggest marine sports company in Okinawa! All of our guests will receive discount coupons to join any marine activity such as snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, and flyboarding at any SEASIR store.

I was only here for one night at the end of my stay, but wish I'd come sooner. The vibe was very good and people talked to each other. The staff were very friendly, they clearly organise activities that would be easy to join as a solo traveller and the beds were comfy. I had an early ferry from the other port, but it was easy to get a taxi at 5:40am and it only took 10 minutes.

The library space on the first floor features 2 computers with internet access that can be used for free, and a selection of 3000 Japanese comics (manga) available for reading. Each floor has a luggage storage area and the 2nd to 4th floors are equipped with personal lockers.

All dormitory rooms are air-conditioned. Bathrooms and toilets are shared with other guests.

It is quiet clean. The handsome male staff is a very hardworking person but he has some strict rules. The decor has changed since the last time I stayed and beds are more comfortable now. Beds are not low as it was before. Cute decorative items and useful shelve and hooks are available in the bed.

Guests at Hostel Kumoji-so can sleep in one of the dormitory rooms or enjoy the privacy afforded by the colourful double rooms. Private rooms have coin-operated air conditioning, while those in the dormitories make do with fans. Linens are provided, toothbrushes and shavers can be purchased, while towels and hairdryers can be rented.

The location is great, it’s right where you want to be. The room was clean and the bed was good, the washroom wasn’t my favourite part of the stay, but in terms of what you are paying for - I think overall it’s still great option for a budget traveller.

Just a 3-minute walk from Kokusai Street, Asahi Guest House offers simple Japanese-style accommodation with futon beds. A shared kitchen, lounge area and free-use internet terminal are featured.

A 10-minute walk from Miebashi Monorail Station, the hostel is a 20-minute drive from Shuri Castle and Naha International Airport. Bicycle rental offers a fun and easy way to explore Naha.

It’s simple and I loved it. If you like simple you will love this stay. The price is very good, staff lady is incredibly sweet. Don’t expect a fancy, luxurious stay, but all fundamentals are there. I loved the beautiful, traditional interior and again, the simplicity.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is an amazing hostel that is super cheap and close to almost everything. It is meant for the backpackers that want to just sleep in a bed and the ability to take a nice shower and a break. It is in the middle of Naha city so it is close to anything you want to go. You can even rent a car for cheap and travel around Okinawa. The staff was friendly and cool.

    This is a place where you get exactly what you pay for! Extremely cheap. Super close to Naha's only (?) beach and a supermarket, and shopping streets are in easy reach too. Especially convenient to reach by bus from the airport. If you are a backpacker or budget traveller and must spend a night in Naha before escaping to a nicer island, I would highly recommend!

    This might be the best hostel I've been to. It was very spacious, unlike other hostels where it's impossible even to open your suitcase in the room. Lockers, bath rooms and dorm itself were spacious and very clean. Great location not far from airport and Kokusai Dori. Good wifi connection. Overall a very pleasant stay.

    One of the best hostels I stayed at in Japan – the dormitory is quiet, there is space to store your luggage and lockers big enough to actually put valuables in there + the location just next to the bus station and a few stops from the airport makes it really convenient. The common space and kitchen are great as well! Highly recommended :)
