Showers were a little dirty and there were some strange people but other than that not bad
I heard you can get better hostels for the same value but still cheap

Fantastic location and great price. Its still a hostel so you never know who the other guests might be but still deserves 5 Star.
Also has an Izakaya Restaurant in the lobby.

This is one of the most disgusting hostels I've ever seen. Everything smells horrible and there's dust and dirty everywhere you look. I read some bad reviews and thought "how bad can it really be?". It turns out it's really that bad. I tried to talk to the staff about leaving earlier because I really didn't feel comfortable there but I would have gotten no refund so I endured it and stayed for 5 nights. I've been traveling full-time for 5 months and this was by far the worst hostel I've seen.

The property is good. But needs just a little bit of dusting but overall i will still recommend. Easy check in and out.

Like: Clean, friendly staff, easy check-in/out, very comfy bed, some space for putting luggage (not much but still better than some other hostels). Washing machine for free with free detergent coin operated dryer. Can also borrow the umbrella from the hostel if needed.
Dislike: the room door was screeching continuously, making me very uncomfortable whenever going in/out since I would disturb others. Hope the hotel fix it soon. Hot water can be on and off in the middle of your shower due to other users. If it happens to be suddenly cold, just let it run for a few more minutes to be hot again.
Also, Expedia website says towel will be provided but it wasn't (you have to book the room "amenities included or rent it for 200Y). Should edit this info.
Overall enjoyable stay, thank you!

We stayed in this hotel for a total of 5 nights, but the 3rd night had a problem. There are people stealing luggage in the female dormitory. There are money and passport in the bag. The hotel does not have CCTV. Therefore unable to determine who stole We are disappointed with the solution of the hotel problem. Suggest that the hotel should add more security. And remind guests to keep valuables in a safe place.

The staff was very friendly and the restaurant downstairs was a convenient and delicious place to eat. The bathrooms could have been cleaner but overall it is a pretty decent hostel and a convenient place to stay.
