Liked: The place was clean and full of character, with cute touches from the owner. Shower had hot water and was spotlessly cleaned, so was the kitchen and WC, so I had a comfortable time there.

Disliked: The walls were a bit thin, so when someone entered the room, it was quite noisy.

Liked: We really enjjoyed our stay in Sora House. It's nice and cozy and the staff is really helpful (helped us book a trip to churaumi aquarium, gave us a lot of advices to visit some places). We totally recommend this place and visiting Okinawa is totally worth it.

Disliked: Everything was good

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay here at Sora House. I originally visited Okinawa for a few days beach getaway, however, my plans seemed to coincide with a typhoon, which really rather changed them. So for one day everybody was stuck inside as everything except for the convenience store and the post office shut (including the airport, monorail and bus service). Either side of this the weather was rather drab, cold and rainy, not ideal for the beach, so I got to to see the touristic buildings in Naha instead and learnt a lot about Okinawan culture and probably enjoyed myself a little more. Plus on my last day they had an Eisa dance festival along Kokusaidori which was amazing. I can't wait to go back and see the rest of Okinawa and the other islands. I would also recommend eating at a small izakaya not far from the hostel called Ryuukyuu. It was full of locals (usually a good sign) and had beautiful food (an English menu, for those who don't speak Japanese). However, I guess they don't get many foreigners in there as when they saw us (me and 2 others from the hostel) they couldn't have been more excited and glad to have us eat there. One more piece of advice: definitely make sure you give yourself plenty of time to see everything and plan around possible typhoons!

Disliked: It says that breakfast is included which it's not but for the price and great value of this place it really wasn't an issue.

Liked: I liked the common area as it was a welcoming space in which you could meet with other hostel guests...it also provided free internet and hot drinks...plus it contained information relevant to it's location. Staff were great too!!

Disliked: Air conditioning was only available during the late evening and night time in the dorm rooms, this made the rooms very stuffy and uncomfortable during the day.

Liked: I liked that it was so close to the monorail station, because I had some heavy luggage with me. What was not so good is that I had to haul it up all those stairs, I wish there would have been an elevator. The hostel is very well marked and the map from their website is great. The rooms where clean and easy, just the bunkbed and a table. The beds were good though, I slept very well. One thing that disturbed my sleep was that the windows could not be shut properly and since it was windy that night, the wind kept shaking them. The bathrooms and the kitchen was very clean, I was very pleased. Overall, I liked this hostel and I would recommend it to others.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
