The location is fantastic, it's right next to the historical quarter and a short walk to the train station. There's a great restaurant that closes late right downstairs so you don't even have to worry when everything else closes. The toilet is also newly renovated and the decor is very rustic which I think is interesting! One of the best hostels I've stayed at, I can safely say. Good for younger couples and friends! I don't think that this place would be great for older folks or people who prefer the standard hotel experience. The decor is rustic so you can't tell if it's real dirt or fake dirt LOL but if you don't mind, everything else was clean and service was awesome as well.

It was great having a nice communal seating area/bar in the main part of the hostel. We were able to sit there for as long as we wanted when we were too tired to do any more walking in the heat. We were in the annex and it was perfect for our needs - very quiet. As there was no elevator, one of the staff carried our luggage up the stairs for us.

For a western traveller, this place is so great. Washing machine in room really helps travellers. The bath is big and beds are comfortable and the bar downstairs is great place for a drink. So quiet too. No cars in this part of town!

Okay hostel - great location

I'll start with the good things: the location was amazing for the price, just around the corner from the historical district. The communal bathrooms and showers were pretty clean, and overall the room was pretty clean too. There was water leaking outside of the rooms but that didn't bother me much. The price was very cheap so I didn't expect much, but the bed was basically a wooden plank (there was a mattress, but it was so thin and the middle had caved in, so most of the bed was a wooden plank). It was quite hard to sleep. The (included) breakfast wasn't amazing, but I guess I shouldn't expect much. If the bed hadn't been void of padding, I would give this hostel a solid 4 stars, but that was pretty bad so I'm giving 3 stars.

The location of the hostel is top-notch, right beside the canal. It’s also above a great bar run by the hostel as well. That said, the bed was extremely hard, to the point of feeling like a wooden sheet. Some of the slats were broken too. The 4pm check in and 10am checkout was a little inconvenient, but they did allow us to store our bags at the front. If you can get over the uncomfortable sleep, it’s a good spot for a night or two

倉敷で週末にしては高くないけれども

シャワーとトイレが共同で、同じフロアにあったのはいいとして、一旦客室から外に出ることになるので、格好を気にする必要がある。特に2階の女性専用シャワー室の前にフリースペースがあり、そこは男女兼用なので、シャワー室を出た途端にそこでお茶を飲んでいた男性と目があって気まずかった。1階から上は天井が吹き抜けになっていてコの字型に客室が配置されている。冬なので天井が閉じられているが、一歩客室を出たらかなり寒さを感じるので、もっと寒くなったら湯冷めする可能性あり。
