It is a decent place for a backpacker style of stay. I was there for just one night and it was just right.

Other than a bit of a walk from Hakata Station, no problems (would be awesome if they were in the Tenjin area). Great staff, very clean hostel, and beds are comfortable. Really nice kitchen facility and rooftop area. I think only one shower so if the hostel was full that could be an issue but it wasn't when I was there. Japanese style (= very thin walls) so not somewhere to stay up late socializing because everyone can hear you!

The staff was very helpful and the free bread and tea in the morning was nice. I met other travelers who were very nice to talk to and explore with. I had a great stay.

A great staff makes up for less than easy location. Its not all that hard to find just a bit of a walk. Make sure if you take the subway, you use exit 5 and turn right. I couldn't find a sign with the street name on it, but thats the way. Good communal area, free breakfast and did I mention the great staff? The owner is very friendly and helpful. A good value for Japan and safe place about 10 minutes from the metro.

I stayed at Tabicolle for three nights with a friend in the female-only dorm. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The only issue was that there's only one shower. Otherwise, our stay was great and we enjoyed hanging out with the other guests.

We had a great time with you here at Tabicolle, we hope you enjoyed your time in Fukuoka as well! We try to tell all of our guests about the public bath close by the hostel, because there are some times when we're at full capacity that it takes a while to use the shower. We give 200 Yen back of the total cost of the public bath to try and encourage people to use it on days when it's full. Most of our guests tend to really like the public bath because it's not just for tourists, it's a place that real Japanese people go to! Thanks so much for your stay!

It was great. Easy to find, the staff was super accomodating, and the bed was warm and clean. Loved it!

A really great place to stay in Fukuoka. The hostel is small but feels like home & very cozy. Very clean with all the facilities I need. Warm atmosphere. Totally recommended. I will definitely stay here again for my next visit to Fukuoka.

It was a pleasure having you stay with us, we enjoyed our conversations with you very much! You used your time in Fukuoka really well, because you spent most of your time out exploring. We hope you enjoyed staying with us as much as we enjoyed having you.

one negative: beds that creak in the eight bed dorm, but otherwise a very pleasant hostel, with wonderful staff. Directions to find it the first time could be clearer: you are directed to turn left when you see In The Style, but at night, In The Style is a poorly lit nondescript wooden wall. even by daylight the sign "In The Style' is unobtrusive. Simply telling you to take the third left opposite a Lawson and a large, lit '24' sign might be more helpful.

Thank you for your stay here. And thank you for a meaningful description.

Staff was amazing and stayed working late to check me in as I was a late arrival. Very patience and helpful. I would stay again for sure. About a 12 minute walk away from the station and across from a kobinne. The only thing I would say is the bunk bed I was on was very squeaky. I felt bad for who was below me as when I moved it would make noise. Luck of the draw for a bed.

If you stay in this hostel make sure you are not in the 3 bed mixed dorm room. This room is next to the common room and to the kitchen. The walls are so thin that you can hear everything from these rooms. It keeps us awake for two nights so we were happy that we could go to another hostel for our third night in Fukuoka.

Thank you for your stay at our hoste. We are so sorry about that you awake during you are sleeping because of the noise from kitchen. We tried to be quiet after 11 pm though, we need to improve our room condition.

I slept past my check-out time but the staff were courteous and understanding, great vibe in the backpackers with a cool common room area. Another plus is the beds are comfy!

Thank you for your stay. We enjoyed our historical event together. We had Ehoumaki which is a kind of Sushi staff and Mamemaki which is throwing beans. Thank you for joining us and having fun together.

I really liked the helpful staff. Small, cozy place. You'll know everyone in here. It's mostly open space with a few big rooms with sliding doors. It was fun to meet the staff and people staying here.
