Small room. Slightly inconvenient doors to access toilet.

There is no kitchen for cooking But the bar is downstairs.

Considering the price in Hakone, it is recommended to stay here Although it is a bit old but it is clean and quiet

Perfect location with a very nice and helpful staff. I just stayed a night but it was very comfortable and great for the price !

The futon was a little bit too thin for me.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, we arrived late and we were greeted warmly. The owner speaks some English which makes things easier for foreign travellers. Free wifi is available, they have a bar area, and a small smoking area out front too. The bathroom and shower facilities are great as well.

Lovely cosy hostel not far from the Odawara train station. Owner Ricki-san is very warm, friendly and helpful. There's a nice bar downstairs to chill, socialise and have a beer at the end of the day

Finally a dorm room in Japan with large under-bed lockers; so handy! The room had a lovely set-up with comfortable beds, and even a desk and chair. The hostel had a lovely bar, a great outside space, smoking area and it is all a short walk from the castle. The host was very friendly and it is the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Odawara.

Check in time is a bit late, it was raining and I was stranded wet until it opened

Lovely hostel with a nice beach, reggae vibe to a japanese city. It has a nice little bar downstairs with good music.

I was missing simple things like handsoap or papertissues.

Good location close to Odawara Castle as well as the beach and the friendly owner is happy to provide some sightseeing information.

only one toilet between so many rooms.

It is by the beach. Good access to the beach.

I can't think of anything I didn't really like. The wood made me sneeze a little, but overall it was just fine. I think any dislikes would just come down to personal preference.

It was so clean and neat! Ricky was so kind.

Nice staff, good location close to the castle.

Not very spacious, only one toilet room, two shower rooms. The bed was not very comfortable.

Good location, not far from the station.

Stayed in April 2024

The entire place needs more space and a complete make over!

That the staff memver helped carry my luggage up the stairs. When checking out, I had to do it. There no one around!

The hostel is very clean and easy to reach with a short walk from Odawara station. There is also a very nice and cozy bar downstairs and Ricky, the owner, is just a great guy. He made the stay feel special!

The location is very far out & buses are super confusing.A little scary when walking alone in the neighborhood.The host only showed interest in the male travelers unfortunately.The rooms were average, a bed, heater.Only locks from the inside.No key for your room when you leave, so your belongings are sort of left out in the open & this was in the female dorm separate from mixed dorm which was much more compact.Would recommend for a 1 night layover & not much more.Splurge on a nice hotel for a night in Hakone the experience is much nicer & more memorable.

Heater in the room.

Cheap and comfortable room with traditional tatami floor and roll out futons. Nothing fancy, but all that we needed.

No shared space. But there is a bar therefore.

Go to the restaurant called Nonki. They don’t speak english but we communicated via google translator and they were so nice. It‘s tiny, one of the guests sung Karaoke. Special atmosphere : D And good food.

Nothing.

Staff were incredible! The owner Ricky was very friendly and took us out for a wonderful evening in town. The rooms were exactly what we needed, they have everything you need. Good places in the area. But most importantly Ricky is great!

Everything was perfect.

Friendly, cozy hostel in a great location, 5 minutes from Odawara Castle and Miyuki Beach, a bit more than 10 minutes walk from the train station. I stayed in the girls dormitory with 3 beds in total, so it was quiet and I could rest well. The facilities were clean, new bedsheets and towels were provided for free. The mattress and pillow were the most comfortable from my entire trip to Japan so far. The girls dormitory had a lock and the outside door to the hostel was also password locked at night, so I didn’t have to worry about my safety. The bar downstairs had a nice vibe and I enjoyed the beer and conversations with the host Ricky and a few locals. I’ll definitely be back if I get the chance to be around Odawara again.
