27 May 2011

Liked: location and cleanliness ok

Disliked: Nobody able to speak english and not willing to help. No common areas to meet other backpackers. They wanted to charge extra for being a few minutes late with the check out. Maybe can be ok as a hotel for japanese people, but definitely is not a place for backpackers.

Liked: Helpfull staff...

Disliked: Description is true, rooms are really tiny and showers even more. Luckily there was only 3 of us in 4 bed dorm, have no idea how would our bags fit otherwise. Common space so small that you'll hardly meat people. Internet is free only if you have wireless, otherwise 100Y for 30min.

22 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it is a clean, secure, and comfortable place. Not noisy, rather calm place, so you can offer a sound sleep to your completely exhausted body.Location is really good; it is in the Riverrain. This is a best place for someone who wants a private and calm place to take a rest.

Disliked: It can be disappointed to someone who wants to meet new friends or who wants some events.

Liked: It's not a hostel, it's a hotel. They have just turned some regular rooms into very small dorm rooms. I had a single room which also was very small. The common room also used to be a regular room. Very small. No fully equipped kitchen to cook your own meal (there is a fridge, oven and microwave).If you like the '60's you'll like the interior.Staff is friendly though.Haven't seen any other guests.... no one..

24 March 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel had an excellent location. It was inside the arcade\market right on the river. There are tons of shops, restaurants and bars nearby. The price was pretty good as well. The place costs about 2/3 of the price of a cheap hotel with the same size and ammenities. I will definitely be returning if I stay in Fukuoka again.

Liked: Certainly the hostel was fine for the night. There wasn't too much happening there, and I would have appreciated it if there was somewhere to talk later than 11 pm.

18 May 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: We liked our stay because although our room was tight, we had a nice view overlooking the river. The hotel was close to Canal City - a big shopping mall, and had a grocery store and other malls close by. Some of the staff spoke barely any english, the TV had only Japanese channels and the internet was ridiculously slow.. not even worth using. But either than that everyone was very nice to us and it was really clean.
