Get there before 9pm because reception shuts! Staff were very helpful, free internet and great atmosphere in communal kitchen when we were there. Location is a little bit out of the way, but walkable in around 10 or 15 minutes from Hakata train station - make sure you take a copy of the...

The description how to get to the hostel was perfect until the second Lawson. Afterwards I misinterpreted how to walk and got totally lost. A better description might just simply be "turn left after the second Lawson and then take the first street on the right. We are there."

One word: bedbugs. Otherwise, it was your standard hostel with no notable characteristics. We wouldn't return. The walls are very thin so noise in the hall will easily disturb your sleep.

Loud, echoey hallways right outside the rooms. Creepy lounge area right next to the womens shower. Terrible.

need to improve cleanliness, especially most hostels in Japanese are really clean. Should accept Mastercard or Credit card payment, not only cash

This is a great place. The staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was great! The rooms are clean as well. The only frustrating thing was the location. It takes about 20 min. to walk to Hakata Station and then about a 15 min. bus ride to the city center. Other than location, it was great!

They have a couple of toilets that only amputees with no legs could use. The people were fairly friendly and helpful. But make sure you bring cash because no credit cards are accepted (at least when we were there).

Rooms are tiny and smelled like feet. Paper thin walls. If you are looking for a party hostel or to meet a lot of party backpackers, this is the place. If not, I'd say to go elsewhere.

The Hostel was ok, the price is good, the rooms ok, it was 10-15 minutes walk from the station, though the city is the complete other direction, but it was ok. And you have to try the Hakata Noodles, really good!

It is close to the train station, whick is good. Havin air conditioning in the room and free internet was very good. But there weren't enough bathrooms, so I had to wait for a long time to be able to shower. Another bad thing was that they don't have an elevator.

Very clean and comfortable hostel. Is a short walk, or an even shorter bus ride to the main station, and the rooms were very comfortable. The air conditioner was a godsend with the humidity. A fantastic place to stay in Fukuoka.
