About 8 mins walk from local train station. Whole place is so well decorated. Feels dreamy with Ghibli's soundtracks mildly played. The owner speaks great English. Everything is clean and efficient. I stayed in a dorm of 4. The room itself might be a bit small if you have big suitcase. But the space was fair enough for me. Top floor is where you can hang the laundries. You can see Kumamoto castle from there. Overall it was a great stay. Also great value for money.

A dreamy stay

I just spent one night in this hostel but it was like a dream. I've stayed in lots of dorm in my life and all over the world, and this place is in my top 10 of the best dorms I've been too. It felt like being in a little haven, and the fact it was only women made it like a multi-age sorority. The atmosphere was so delightful, the traditional dorm so comfortable and peaceful, the staff so welcoming and the whole place so tastefully decorated. I just found it weird there was not towel and soap in the bathroom when everything else was so perfect! Also didn't like the living fish kept in small tanks and used as decoration tools in the entrance, a bit cruel to make animals live in such a small space just for our pleasure...

This hostel is well looked after. They speak very good English and give you a lot of local information. There is a lot of attention to detail inside and it is kept in good order and very clean. I did not feel it was too busy and always facilities available, no queues. The wifi was best i have had so far and the kitchen and tv are well equipped.the room was a great size for me. The managers were available by buzzer if needed. It was definitely value for money and a shame they had no availability to extend my stay. I have stayed at two other locations kumamoto and there is no comparison i would recommend this hostel above the others. Possibly one of the best ive stayed in generally.

最棒的hostel!

這間hostel是我第一間hostel，第一次就住到它真是太幸運了！環境乾淨並且設計感很好很別緻很舒服，還有療癒的輕音樂。床墊很舒服！睡覺時也很安靜。在這邊的交誼廳認識了一個韓國女生、兩個日本女生，剛好都是我們第一次住hostel，而我們都一致認為這是最棒的hostel！尤其適合女性！超喜歡！未來有機會還會再入住！
