DENIM HOSTEL float, hotel in Okayama

Located in Kurashiki and with Mizushima Ryokuchi Fukuda Park reachable within 10 miles, DENIM HOSTEL float provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

This place is located away from any major cities and towns. Very quiet and calm. I stayed in an ocean view Japanese style room. It was spacious for a single traveler and loved that they had a space to sit looking outside of the window.

All hostels in Okayama
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I thought I booked 2 rooms but it was actually 2 apartments, with a bathroom, a very simple kitchen and even a washing machine each. We were happily surprised since the price was really cheap. The wifi was not working during our stay (when we're traveling we do rely on wifi a lot). But overall it was great and I would stay there again for sure !

    Great location, just opposite the main train station, Breakfast was amazing, Good Japanese breakfast, with at least 5 hot items, Soups + come croissants and breads.

    Very nice host. The walls are quiet thin, so you can people talking in the next room. But it's a cheap and nice hostel, for one or two nights it's ok.

    Small hostel, you get what you pay for in terms of the room. Bathroom and shower were good quality. Had the whole hostel to myself for my time there so. Great location backing into a shopping and dining alley with lots of great little shops

    Great place and kind staff. really like the atmosphere here. it's a shared space so it's easy to hear noise from other people, but the price is cheap and the travelers I met were all polite. highly recommend for backpackers who plan to travel to Okayama.

    Such an amazing hostel and incredible value for money! Very cool restaurant/ bar with the front desk and a free welcome drink, but the bar was actually in a different building to the beds so it wasn’t noisy at night at all. Felt safe with multiple codes for different doors, great kitchen, and private beds with black out curtains. Great location too - it was right by the station, we stayed here to go to Naoshima and on to the Shimanami Kaido the next day. Clean showers and toilets too.

    Location was by far the best factor. It's connected to Okayama station. Amenities were great, has everything u need from a budget hotel. Room was small but that's to be expected with the cheapest variant for a twin room. Cleanliness was really good, view from the room was also pretty sweet. Loads of floors have coin laundry and vending machines. Staff were nice too.
