    Friendly and helpful owner, the hostel is above an izakaya, didn’t have a chance to go, but wish I did.

    Shaq was really nice, the location was great and the izakaya (pub) downstairs turns lively at night, yet it doesn't make any noise to the rooms upstairs. There is a locker provided, outlets near the bed and a convenience store 2 minutes away. Shaq...

    Shaq is such a great host - great humor and so helpful! The izakaya downstairs is great to chill at and the rooms are super comfy.
