“The staff's friendliness shines here, alongside clean, comfortable rooms that don't break the bank. Its proximity to both the JR Uguisudani line and a convenience store simplifies getting around and stocking up, which I found particularly helpful. The recent renovations have clearly paid off, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a hotel than a hostel, with thoughtful touches like complimentary umbrellas adding to the charm.”
