Everything was excellent, service, cleanliness, facilities, breakfast. Probably one of the best I have stayed in.

Really everything you would want from a hostel - comfortable, clean and well located. They also very kindly let me leave my bag (with no charge) for a number of days while I was cycling. I was also able to check in (slightly) early. The hostel seemed to be closed outside of check-in hours. The lady at the front desk wasn't hugely helpful or friendly - I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't speak Spanish or Japanese. Minor gripe was that I wasn't allowed to move to another (empty) lower bunk (mine was right by the door) even though the room only had one other person staying / the beds weren't being used and I asked at a quiet time of day when noone else was around.

We only stayed at the guesthouse for one night, but we really enjoyed our time. Besides the comfortable bed and the great included breakfast, there was coffee, tea, and even a popcorn machine with everything you need to make your own popcorn! It's a family-run business, and everyone is incredibly kind and helpful.

Super cozy, great location. Close to the arcade and not in a noisy area.

The stairs to the 2nd floor was steep so it's kinda scary. The bathrooms are very tiny, showering can get uncomfortable especially if you're a bigger person. The roof of the bunk beds are too low.

Place was incredibly clean. I got a whole room for myself, and the rooms are pretty big. There is free breakfast every morning, and the breakfast food is genuinely good and not just like, toast with jam or something.

They have a curfew time around 11pm… we were still having drinks and trying to be quiet but they just send everyone to bed

The people were great. The facilities were good enough to stay for a night or two for sure.

The hosts are super friendly. I was the only guest for the night and had the whole dormitory all to myself. Perfect for staying if you want to cycle the Shimanami Kaido! Common area and dorm were clean, bed was really comfy and warm, the breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect with this hostel, great staff who speak English, Japanese and Spanish and they made for a very sociable relaxed feel in this nice quiet hostel that has a garden/patio area where i could leave my bike whilst i stayed. There is a large supermarket and a convenience shop both only a 5 min walk away and the town is only 10mins as well walking.

The 10PM curfew is not mentioned in booking and the restroom is way tooo small.

Good for value and close to onomichi station.

Hosts Percy & Carolina were so welcoming & kind. The breakfast was great with a choice of several tasty options. The bunk beds are very comfortable with privacy curtains & a locker for valuables. Super clean. There is also a small courtyard where you can safely leave a bike overnight. Convenient location an easy walk from Onomichi local train station, bike rental places & a supermarket with a wonderful range of food. I met some lovely fellow travelers & extended my 3-day stay to 5..

The mattras was a little hard. I could feel the springs in my back. Also every move my partner made in the bunk above me set off a little creaking noise.

From the moment of our arrival it felt like home. The host was charming and professional. The rooms are clean and spacious. The showers are just right. The breakfast was delicious. It was nice to have a break from not understanding anything anyone says in Japanese and to be able to refresh my rusty spanish. (the host also speaks English and Japanese!)

Beds are far from the Japanese standard of dormitory, very small metal beds which making many noises with every move you do. Spring mattress was hard to sleep. Tiny tiny shower room/toilet.

Lovely welcoming staff. Breakfast was included. Very close to train station. Rooms are big with lockers and towles. Very clean.
