    At night, there were still sounds that could be heard from other rooms.

    We liked the comfortable beds and the provided facial moisturizer,etc. in the bathroom. It is clean and has beautiful, interesting wall designs. We also appreciate the place for reading books and the room where we could just sit and relax.

    It's one big dorm room so if you get a snorer that night it's just unlucky. Staff is not there all day.

    It was a 6 minute walk to the station, capsule had light and outlet but I couldnt use both at the same time because my adapter was too large. Stored my bags before check in. Laundry was only 400 yen

    The staff were friendly and even recommended me places to go for food! The cats were adorable and approachable. There was also a huge library of Japanese manga that you can read from! The location was reasonably close to Toyama Station, and the park is just a walk across the road, with public bike rental service easily available through the terminal.

    The bunk beds are made of wood, so any movement from the person on the top bunk will make the structure squeak. The bed could be more comfortable and I wish another pillow was provided. Although there were signs about lights out and keeping quiet, I wish the hostel had a policy about waking up alarms from being too loud or too repetitive.

    The cats were the highlight of our stay here! The kitchen was nice and clean as well as the shower facilities and common areas. There was enough space for your luggage. Your sleeping area had a space big enough for 2 large backpacks. For bigger luggage, there is an area for them.

    I was expecting a room with bunk beds, but it's actually a dormitory style setting. So not the best option if you have kids. There are no lifts, so if you have big suitcases or luggage, it is a bit difficult getting up 2 flights. The wooden stairs to the upper dorms were slippery, I slipped on them, so did my son.

    Staff were very friendly. They found us information about getting tickets for the cable care ride. Excellent location. Good amenities.

    Nada.

    I don't think there's anything I didn't like - the bed was comfortable, the cats were cute, there was a fair amount of space, and the hosts were excellent. I would like to thank them especially for bringing me a heater when I chose to sit in the hallway - it was very thoughtful. I would definitely stay again.

    The facility areas (toilet, bathroom, kitchen, library) in the property are separated well. You can enjoy the cozy decoration and peaceful space. The hostel is near the station, walkable distance less than 10 minutes. If you wake up early in the morning, I recommend Kansui park on the opposite side (5 mins walk). There are many birds and nice nature over there. The hostel staffs are very nice and friendly. There are many books in the library that you can read too! The bed and the bag storage is quite big, I can put my 45L backpack in it with no problem. I stay there for 2 nights, so I bought sushi from Supermarket near the station and ate at the kitchen.

    The beds are in very large and tall comfy boxes. The whole hostel is clean, nice and have a real charm. The owner and staff were really nice and friendly. And the cats make the place heartwarming and welcoming. On top of that, the hostel is near the train station by walk which is a great plus.

    ¥100 yen to use a towel, which I feel should just be added onto the room costs. But this is a extremely minor complaint for what is a fantastic hostel.

    Clean, close to Toyama station, staff is very friendly and were able to store my luggage while I was out and about before check in. Beds are a good size with plenty of overhead space which I appreciate at someone who is 2m tall.

    Can be a little pricey for a hostel.

    Friendly and very helpful staff, good and clean amenities. Very well equipped shower room with hairdryer etc. really awesome and highly recommend. Great location as it is just next to toyama station. They provided 2 free tram tickets which were great for tourist like myself.

    I don’t think there was anything about this place that I disliked specifically.

    While I stayed only for one night and I couldn’t use all of the facilities available, the short time that I spent here was really comfortable. The staff was extremely kind and the facilities that I did use, like the bed and the shower, were in perfect shape. Also, the two cats were adorable.
