the hostel seemed a little old to me. the common area was quite dirty in the morning, but that might just be the travellers fault! comfy beds with lockers. my 4beds female dorm was quite small but okay. on my floor there was no wash basin. was okay for one night.

The guy at the front desk was really helpful, recommending us places to eat and where to get to the train station. The room was a little too narrow, had to squeeze through the frame of the beds with my backpack. Its a little far from the hakata station, it takes around 15-20mins walk to get there from the hostel.

- Very friendly staff, I had a great stay (: - Conveniently located near Hakata station, easy to travel to other parts of Kyushu especially if you have a JR Kyushu pass. - Near a supermarket, easy to get cheap groceries. - Very clean!

We were in a mixed room of 4 and our two unknown male roommates were not so great, but that is the luck of the draw. Otherwise, the hostel was great! The staff were very friendly and the location is excellent, so close to the airport! I will most likely use this hostel again in the future.

Although a little bit away from the center, it's still a nice hostel with good facilities and friendly staff.

The dorm I stayed in was clean. There were small lockers in the room to store valuables. The beds were comfortable and the shower/bathrooms were spacious and stocked with shampoo/body wash. The staff was friendly. I would definitely stay here again. The hostel itself is about a 15 minute walk from Hakata station, and right next to a Hotto Motto and a Lawson if you need a quick snack.

Great hostel, location is a bit out of the way and you may have to use the bathrooms/showers on another floor, but its cozy, if a bit dorm like.

Great experience! For me the best part was that they had a book of places to see in Fukuoka with detailed instructions on how to get there. I was able to see some real gems of the prefecture that I don't think I would have stumbled upon myself. It's a pretty good deal for the money. If you're looking for a place to crash it's rather nice :)

Not a bad place to stay. Its quite a far walk from the train station, and nowhere near any of the main attractions, but there are buses if you can figure them out. Not really the hostels fault, but when I was there there wasnt much of a social atmosphere for meeting people even though the hostel was full. Good facilities and information about Fukuoka though.

It's a rather characterless hostel, situated not far from Hakata station. That being said, it gives you a clean bed to sleep on while in Fukuoka. Staff if friendly and the place has all the facilities you need.

Excellent, friendly service, really comfortable beds. Getting a locker in your dorm is a real bonus, and the kitchen and communal areas were really nice and well-kept.
