Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
Stayed 5 nights in October 2025
“Above average”
I have been staying here for 6 days and 5 nights. Before my arrival, I had read reviews saying that the sheets were not changed. When I arrived, I asked if they were clean, and the staff member told me that new sheets had been bought that day. Indeed, they were clean and new, and the pillows were new as well. However, during my stay, I noticed many guests coming and staying only one night, and unfortunately, I can confirm that the sheets are not washed. They remain the same, with only a lint roller used to remove hair. The blanket has no cover, which is quite shocking and unhygienic, and the sheets are not cleaned or changed. There is a bag with dirty sheets, which I believe are from before my arrival, and it stayed there the entire time. I think this is very unhygienic—if not outright disgusting. I was lucky and can say that I personally did not have a bad experience, but I don’t think this practice is acceptable. Sheets should at least be washed after each guest, even if they stay only one night. Honestly, this should be reported to the authorities. It’s absurd that a place in Japan—so often praised for its cleanliness—can operate like this in 2025.

Stayed 1 night in May 2025
“The cost performance is excellent.”
This was my first time using it this year. I had checked reviews in advance and was not bothered by the voices from the izakaya on the first floor. It's really lucky to be able to stay right in the heart of Chinatown at this price. The toilet and shower were relatively new and comfortable to use. Issues: There was only one seat, so multiple people couldn't sit down and work. It would be appreciated if more seating could be provided at the unused counter. If possible, it would be nice to have a fan in place of a circulator. The receptionist was very kind and explained everything in detail. I felt very positive about it. Thank you very much.

“Very good”
The staff were from overseas and spoke in English, which was a bit confusing at first, but they were very charming! However, they walked into the room with shoes on, and out of habit as a Japanese person, I took mine off at the entrance, but I wasn’t sure where the no-shoe zone started. The room was properly cleaned, but I was bothered by what looked like paint stains in the sink. Since there was a bar downstairs, some people might be concerned about the noise. However, the master was a kind person, and the customers greeted us with smiles, creating a very warm atmosphere. The alley was narrow, so it felt a bit scary at night, but I was relieved to see some light. I am very grateful to be able to stay in Chinatown at this price. Thank you very much.

“This is the true essence of travel 🎵”
It was a late check-in after the LIVE, but the staff welcomed us very warmly. Since it was my first time staying at this accommodation, I had some anxiety, but the room was compact and tidy, and both the bedroom and the shower room and toilet were clean and perfect. It’s convenient for strolling around Chinatown at night, and I enjoyed chatting with the staff at the BAR on the first floor! I want to go backpacking abroad again. However, the BAR was quite lively until late, so it may not be suitable for those who want a quiet night. Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

“Value for the price”
The location was difficult to find and getting there was a challenge, but it was truly a convenient spot right in the middle of Chinatown for shopping, sightseeing, and dining. The staff was also kind. However, the lockers did not have locks, and the shower and washbasin facilities were barely adequate, lacking cleanliness. Considering the price, though, the cost performance was good, and I think it was about what one might expect. I would recommend it for those who can tolerate it. It is priced accordingly, and one cannot expect the service or standards of a luxury hotel.
