Santiago Guesthouse Naha

Generally dirty and the dorm rooms smell really bad. There’s no ventilation in the room. There are signs saying “Don’t steal guests stuff” and “if your stuff is stolen sort it out yourself” - which to me feels like an invitation for opportunists if there will be no help from the hostel. You are also unable to leave luggage in the rooms and have to store it in the corridor which blocks the fire escape (as well as making it easier for people to nick your stuff!) As the dorms are all wooden I’m su

Overall a great hostel, clean and quiet in the dorm rooms. Showers and toilets were clean and beds comfortable. The duvets don’t have covers and smelt slightly and dorm room had a weird smell I can’t describe. Common room area is very cliquey and it ruined the overall vibe for me. Otherwise good central location and right by the Bus Terminal and a Monorail station for quick access to the airport.

This was a great experience! For only 8€, I was right at the centre of Naha close to the bus terminal and port which allowed for a lot of exploration in Okinawa’s main island and around it.
