NOBUHIKO, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean. Many details are well-designed. The only problem is the elevator. The buttons don’t light up when pressed. It’s been like this for years. I believe they’ve received many complaints but i understand it can be hard to upgrade the elevator while keeping the hostel running smoothly because everyone has luggage

Ajay Singh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Elevator was broken for a large part of the stay, forcing many guests to lug their valises up three flights of stairs. Moreover, the hostel should provide extra sheets and towels in the room. One poor guy didn't have a towel. To make matters worse, he only realized this upon removing all his clothes and galivanted naked while complaining about the lack of such amenities. All told, the experience was decent. . .
