Loved the tatami dorm, it felt really special. Also had plenty of social space (although it was very quiet). Perfect location - SO many restaurants and shops around and super close to the train station as well

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff! My stay in the tatami shared room was very relaxing.

All good.

3-4 minutes from Kagoshima chuo station. Right in the middle of town, shops and restaurants are aplenty. Staff were very nice and made me feel welcome. Works pretty well.

The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. Location was good. The staffs were super nice! I was able to leave my luggage there before check in and after check out.

The whole 3rd floor had a weird cabbage-y smell. Also, the windows don't open and no light comes through, making the place a bit claustrophobic. The hostel is well equipped, but the whole building and everything in it just feels old and past its expiry date. If you are a budget traveller who stays for a couple of nights, this probably shouldn't bother you. My only real issue was that the smell and the old feel of things, plus the long hairs I kept finding everywhere made me feel like the place is not as clean as it should be.

The location of this hostel is amazing, close to the station, close to tram that ges to ferry port and has supermarket and many restaurants nearby. The room is spacious. The cafe downstairs is very nice and they gave me free coffee vouchers (although note that the cafe opens at 11am).

The common area is really not nice and not great to eat there or hang out.

Great hostel in a great location.

The tap was outside of the toilet, which was strange to wash your hands. And my roof light was to low and I slammed my head several times while awaking.

Near the bus station.

No towel in the private room. I didn’t sleep since you hear everything and someone was up till 3am banging doors, in the kitchen and showering. Possibly I had the worst room next to the kitchen and across from the bathroom, I heard everything even the toilet and the slamming door woke me out of a deep sleep twice. Maybe it would have been better on the 3rd floor where the female toilet and showers are and the rooms. And the bedroom door window lets all the light in from the hallway so the room never gets dark. I tried to cover it. Eye shade and ear plugs are a must here.

Great location near the train station. The private room was very nice. There is a short checkin window but they make sure you have all the information to enter through the back door. There is a cafe attached which is only open set hours but has good food.

Girls showers are only split by screens and curtains, and is quite cramped. If you are uncomfortable being naked around others, you may feel awkward having to pass by the other showers. As a note, the boys shower rooms are standard Japanese private shower rooms. No free towels.

Location is great; it's right in the centre of where everything is happening. It's about a 5 minute walk to the train station and close to places like Yataimura. It's also a cool café during the day, and you're given a drink token for each day you stay there (although you can only use them when the café is open, which is 11-8). Dorms have privacy curtains and there's a small communal area. The staff gave an explanation of the hostel when checking in. Girls have the option for a Japanese style tatami room, which was very spacious. Boys dorm was a typical hostel dorm with bunk beds but a good storage area.

the shared common areas are only 2 small kitchens. It's not very convivial once the cafe closes at 8pm.

I chose the traditional tatami room and it was spacious and comfortable, this was a nice surprise. The staff was very warm and helpful.

Bunk beds a bit flimsy and showers could use a remodel. Limited ability to cook in common area.

Full service cafe and coworking place on ground level. Super close to main train station with Shinkansen train. Grocery store around corner and small restaurants too!

Cafe opens basically when check out limit ends. If you want to ask something in person earlier in the morning you can't do it

Great location. They give you a free coffee ticket at the cafe. Helpful staff

I couldn't connect to the wifi but I was the only one with that issue and more important, there's no kitchen. Just a microwave and a fridge so you can't really cook.

Great place! It was comfortable, the accomodations were good, the bathroom and the whole place were perfectly clean, the staff was incredibly kind and super helpful, the location is great

Close to a karaoke place, you hear people screaming until 1am

best toilet paper in Japan

I didn't like the room and the shower room was dirty. I couldn't say it's a cozy place, but for the price you pay it's reasonably good.

It's cheap and well located. Very near from the bus station

The girls shower is on the upper floor and is not comfortable.

The place is nice, there is a cute café where you can sit. The rooms are a bit small but good. The beds were comfortable.

If I had to be picky, the layout is a bit odd. The sinks to clean your teeth and wash your hands were in the lounge/common room.

Good location, beds were comfortable with good privacy. A decent hostel experience!

seems no bath towel provided, you have to bring your own. There is a ktv nearby, may be noisy before 11pm.

very good location, ~300m from Kagoshima Chuo Station. Staff is very friendly. Everything is clean and tidy. If you arrive late, you can check in by yourself. Staff can email you the password for the back door.

That rooms have to be left from 11:00-16:00 for cleaning. Toilet was extremely small with barely enough soace to wash hands after. I don't think there were enough slippers for everyone.

The staff was very nice. Having cafe right there was also great. Also no checkout procedure which is so easy.
