People arrive in the dormitory at 3 am and the people of the hotel open the big light to show them there bed...not cool When you arrive, there is 4 flours with stairs to climb with your luggage. Kitchen and place to live good and wifi.

Sora House was a great place to stay for our 3 day vacation to Okinawa! Right next to the monorail stop for easy access to other places. Staff was very friendly, and the common room was comfortable to hang out in. Definitely recommended!

The location was nice and convenient to get there from the airport by monorail. I was walking around for a good while though, because I didn't have any kind of map when I got there. The staff was mostly very nice and helpful. I had some problems with the WiFi but after they fixed the connection no one else had problems... The rooms were nice and I enjoyed my stay, no complaints.

a very nice hostel in the isle of okinawa, very close to the city heart, less close to the sea (about 15 minutes) but all in all a very nice place and i recommend it

The location is really nice and the staff was welcoming. The living room has a good atmosphere. Even though Japan is safe, i still thought security was a little low, all doors open and unlocked most of the time. Also thought they could use an extra shower, it was almost always occupied. Good value for money though!

The staff were very friendly and even remembered our names! They have a great Thai massage service for only 500yen for 30 minutes! There are 5 flights of stairs to reception which is a little inconvenient if you have big luggage, but not a problem if like us you only had small bags. The location is great, very close to the monorail station. The rooms were a little too bright (glass door) but that was fixed with some sheets over the pane. I'd recommend this place! Great value for money.

I's my first time to stay in GUEST HOUSE during foreign traveling in my life. I always stayed at hotel. So I worried inconvenience of the bed. But after SORA'S first night, my worry and fear are disappeared. The meeting and conversation with travelers from many countries were atractive and useful. I had very good time in SORA!

I met a lot of good people on my holiday to Okinawa,most of them staying at Sora house. It was an easy place for people to stay who are travelling alone, and I appreciated the cleanliness and friendliness of the place. Arigatou!

It's not that Sora House is dirty, it's just very shabby. The beds are hard as rock, the paint on the walls is peeling. The locks on the doors are a joke. The bathroom and toilet facilities are stupidly arranged. The hostel does not look much like the pictures on this site, I think they chose their angles wisely. We were due to stay here twice after exploring the island, but cancelled our second booking because we were so disappointed. Friendly staff & good location, but thats about it. Poor.
