Nice atmosphere gathering with other people staying there in the common room. Beds were nice, shower also. Toilets could have been better. The terrace is great too!

It was a nice stay, met some incredible people there. The owner is very kind and helpful. It could be a little more clean, but the awesome people compensates. the toilet is Japanese style. not for delicate people!

I'm sorry! If money accumulates, I fix the restroom. The aim is European style restroom!!

I had a very nice stay in this hostel. The atmosphere is friendly and you can meet lots of people! It's not the most clean place but it's ok, don't worry about that. The location is really good, and I think it is easier to find than the explanations on how to get there may seem. I hope to come again some day ;)

The hostel was quite well situated and the staff was very helpful and friendly. But the facilities weren't that good.

the whole place is very dirty and seems unhygenic, the staff are very hard to find and not very helpful with city directions. there were broken windows letting cold air in at night and the whole hostel never had heating on. I will never stay there again.

I had a very good time at this hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and really did their best to make my stay a pleasant one. I willy certainly be staying here again when I visit Nagoya another time. The place is situated a little far from other landmarks and tourist spots but that's not something that's a big enough deal as everything is still easily accessible. It's clean, secure and fun. 9/10

The staff is great, and there are always people willing to help you out. The hostel is a bit difficult to find, but once you get to the bridge it gets a bit easier. I only didn't like the toilets: very very dirty, in my opinion, and it didn't help that they were only in japanese style. The showers are shared and good, but they were a bit cold since there was no heating system outside the rooms.
