Perfect for a short stay in Kumamoto

If you go in with the expectations that this hostel doesn't have a ceiling between rooms, and that there are a lot of restrictions about what you can do in your room, then it's a good place for a short stay. The room and bathroom were very clean. I shared a private twin with my friend. We both wished there was a small or shelf in the room to organize more easily. The common area and shared bathroom was very nice and clean. I would stay again if transferring through Kumamoto for a night.

This is a capsule hostel so the rooms arent very big all the rooms dont actully have roofs and the walls are paper thin so if u have a snorer next door u may not be able to get to sleep they do offer earplugs and free toothbrushes so so that a bonus

謎に天井がなく全ての部屋が壁上で繋がっているのが最悪でした。迂闊に読み損ねていたか、はっきり書かれてなかったような気もします… 人のいびきからアラーム、声、全部とてもよく聞こえるて最強にうるさいです。下手したら他人と同じ部屋で2段ベットで寝る事もあるみたいです。しかも超狭い。 混雑してなかったので1人部屋にはしてくれましたが。耳栓はあったほうがいいですね。

駅が近い為、電車移動の人には安く泊まれて良いと思うが、自分は車移動だったので総合的に考えると他の選択肢が良かったと感じた。部屋はネカフェのような天井が無い作りの為、自分及び、他人の発する音が気になってしまった。値段を考えると仕方が無いが空調も無く、快適とは言えなかった。

熊本旅行の拠点として使用。 寝泊りとシャワー、コインランドリーの使用だけで、基本的に日中外出すると決めているなら安価で快適です。 私は古いホテルだと空調や部屋の埃で鼻水が出てしまうのですが、ここはそういうトラブルがなく快適でした。 ただし周辺のコンビニが24時間営業ではなく、深夜(24:00~)や早朝(~06:00)に営業しているご飯のお店もないので、朝早くor夜遅くまで外出する旅程を組んでいる人は食品や水の入手タイミングに気を付けてください。

En face de la gare ,très facile d'accès en passant par la passerelle. Possibilité de louer vélos sur place a prix tres raisonnable.Par contre côté insonorisation, cest pas top. Faut pas avoir comme voisin,un gros ronfleur, comme cela a été le cas pour moi.
